Long Time, Not Much Posting!

Howdy to y'all out there in BlogFandomLand. It occurred to me that we hadn't really had much opportunity lately for blogging on our fave ladies - one of us has been on a knitting binge (and doesn't really update her knitting blog in a timely manner, either) and the other has had all sorts of computer-wackness and other obligations this summer. Never fear, though, we hope to get back on the blogging train and put some Krikki-love out there - especially in time for "New Moon"!

Also, we are attending TwiCon in Dallas at the end of July! We will be there, laptops at the ready, hoping to get some exclusives and interesting info that we can spill here. We've signed up for an autograph sesh with Ashley Greene and look forward to the many panels, especially one conducted with a Native Quileute storyteller, K. Anita Wheeler. We're pretty much geeked out about the formal programming - all sorts of interesting presentations about the intellectual side of "Twilight", and yes, we maintain that there is one!

Personally I've caught a bit of guff for planning to attend this event - for many reasons, including the topic, the price, the "unknown" nature of the celebrities in attendance. Ok, so Ashley Greene and Billy Burke aren't Leonard Nimoy, and the registration fee is a bit ka-ching, ka-ching. Don't get me started on "Twilight" haters! But - we love the books, we have great affection for the film (and therefore the actors in the project), and we also understand that starting a convention for a fandom that isn't well-established is a pricey prospect. With those things in mind, we see it as a worthwhile investment - and a pleasant holiday with a fun, nerdy agenda that we will enjoy!

So anticipate some end-of-convention-day blogging, pictures, and a renewed gusto for our gals Kristen and Nikki (and perhaps some side-nerdery about the upcoming movie "Whip It!" which we are ALL about right now... Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore and ZOE BLOODY BELL, oh my!).
