Why couldn’t Alice fight back (a little at least?) And damn… did Edward get his @$$ handed to him or what? Maybe it was due to him being weak from not feeding regularly when he was in hiding, away from Bella. In the book doesn’t Bella mention (on the way home when she thinks she’s dreaming) that ‘her Edward’ was usually more well fed… she was taking about his eyes being black….That reminds me…. what color were Edward’s eyes in Voltera? Were they golden? ‘Cause they shoulda been black, right?

Pocket Edward prepares for New Moon by getting a wolf-pack six-pack

Just like every other Twilighter, I am in the throes of preparing for the upcoming New Moon premiere this week. If you are caught up on the latest Twilight Newborns podcast, you know Christen and I have passes for a New Moon screening in Cincinnati on Wednesday Nov. 18.

We hope we can get in since more passes are given out than there are seats. And we’re no Twilight fools. We saw the mammoth autograph cue line at TwiCon, and we witnessed how even a Pocket Edward can cause a stampede. These things can get intense.

So we’re formulating our strategy now to make sure we see the movie: (1) get there before school lets out (2) have bribe money (3) put in a good word with the Big Guy in the Sky.

The good thing is there is so much The Twilight Saga: New Moon goodness out there that preparing for the movie has been as easy as imprinting.

I wanted to share my list with you and let us know what you’re doing to get ready for the big premiere!

• Bought passes to see the New Moon screening on Wednesday thanks to Christen and her amazing Craigslist skillz
• Bought tickets to the midnight showing for Friday, Nov. 20. There is NEVER enough Edward!
• Listening the New Moon soundtrack on repeat in car, at work, in my dreams. My favorite song is “All I Believe In”, which is a bonus song from iTunes by The Magic Numbers And Amadou & Mariam. I skip to that song all the time.
  
• Catching up on Twilight podcasts. There are a plenitude of great podcasts out here (including our own, of course). If you want to supplement your Twilight Newborns podcasts, check out Imprint, Twilight Series Theories and The PattyCast.
• Recording those Twi-Cast TV appearances. Check out this list from MSN.
• Get Pocket Edward a werewolf outfit (See above). Or, better yet, get a Pocket Jacob.
• Checking out these Italy set photos from Chris, Fan of the Week Emeritus.
• Wash that Hot Topic “I Dreamed of Edward Cullen” t-shirt. Christen will thank me if I do.

Remember to share your list in the comments! And we still want to hear from you on our poll, “How excited are you to see the New Moon movie?”

Photos from the New Moon set in Montepulciano, Italy, start here.

New Moon set photos!

Dej takes in the Italian sights

“I got to Montepulciano before shooting began.  The town is so pretty!  The square was outfitted with red banners, and extras in red cloaks.  I saw the procession of extras get all together and organized.

“I think I ‘saw’ the Twilight crew.  I was taking pics, and fans were behind a barricade.  I squeezed into a doorway.  Police and crew joined arms and ferreted the crowds away from the center of the narrow street in front of the tower.

“Then this dark windowed van crept through the crowds.  They were yelling ‘Robert’.  The van came within a foot of me.  I could only make out profiles.  I did not see RPattz’s crazy do. He must have already had hair and makeup.

“I am very sure I saw KStew and Dakota Fanning’s profiles.  DK was the tiny one.  KStew was the bored thin chick with stringy hair.  The security held up a blanket and let the passengers into a building.

“I also visited Volterra.  Montepulciano is prettier.”

Thanks SO MUCH to Chris to send these reports into Team Newborns!

But Pranzo has been instructed to play it cool. Exact directives: Do not act ANYTHING like Melissa or Christen when in the presence of fame. Being our podcasting mascot, we expect a call from the U.S. Embassy at any moment.

This report came in from Chris, our Fan of the Week Emeritus, who is goat-sitting Pranzo on his Eurotrip:

Dej's Cretian Goat Brother

At least Dej got to gift shop. He's always thinking of the Newborn Army!

Dej makes his European debut in Crete. May God protect them.

Darn that goat!

We’ve should have known Dej has been working the phones behind our backs and hitched a ride with Chris, our Fan of the Week Emeritus from Las Vegas.

We love Chris, so we’re hoping that Dej plays it cool while he’s travelling the globe. We just don’t have the funds to bail him out if he gets thrown into Italian prigione. That’s prison for the rest of us.

The Italians don’t mess around. Especially with goats. Cuz they eat goats.

And apparently, Dej has absorbed the culture so much, he insists on being called Pranzo while he’s there. Of course, pranzo means lunch in Italian. And that is what he’s going to be when he gets backs to us Newborns.

Stay tuned as Pranzo as he makes his way around Italy. And keep our fingers crossed for a Pranzo/Rob encounter!

Jacob sandwich, anyone?
