Wow! Amy and I had a great night last night. We got to see quite a few of the cast members and even some of the new Volturi! (SO COOL!)

First stop was Burrard street where we saw Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) out and about with her little sister. So cute! There were some rude paps/videographers who didn’t stop filming her when she asked them not to take video. Not impressed! Rachelle was showing her little sister around Vancouver and she looked gorgeous! That’s really cool of her to take her little sis around. She wore the coolest sandals… winding gray suede strips of fabric flats with silver studs. Also loved her torn light blue jeans, black leather jacket, and scarf.

I managed to get a picture with her! She is so nice! Doesn’t her hair look gorgeous? Also digging the white leather hobo bag and metal with turquoise necklace.

Here’s Dakota Fanning leaving in a cab with Rachelle and her little sis. Dakota is going to be great as Jane! Our first Volturi sighting!

Please excuse the Twilight deviation… guess who else I got to see? KEVIN BIEKSA! Vancouver Canucks player with his son. They were having a Canucks convention at a nearby hotel so I also got to stand one foot from Roberto Luongo, Alex Edler, and Shane O’ Brien! No pics but it was STILL AMAZING! Go Canucks Go!

After dinner (at Banana Leaf… Mmmmm!)… we headed back downtown later that night to Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown (one of my favourite restaurants, highly recommend it… great seafood). We had missed them arriving and Mandy got a photo with Rob. Be sure to check out her pic. Reports of them leaving the restaurant on Twitter were 100% false.

There was an all-cast New Moon Wrap Party and Eclipse Kick-Off Party happening at Blue Water. All the cast members were partying in a private room at the restaurant. David Slade was there to kick things off, Stephenie Meyer also, as well as Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria), Rob Pattinson (Edward), Kristen Stewart (Bella), Taylor Lautner (Jacob), Ashley Greene (Alice), Michael Sheen (Aro), Jamie Bower (Caius), Charlie Bewley (Demetri), Dakota Fanning (Jane), Cameron Bright (Alec) and I’m pretty sure I saw Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter) there.

I saw a couple cast members holding thick manuscripts, including Rob, so I’m PRETTY sure they were possibly giving out Eclipse scripts (with David Slade, Stephenie and Melissa doesn’t it seem possible?). How cool is that?

David Slade was actually really cool to fans, and gave the peace sign and thumbs up sign a few times… he actually apologized for what he said about Twilight. Didn’t expect that at all! Right on David! We’ll have you as the Director for Eclipse after all He was looking very Director-ly in a black zip up turtleneck.

Amy managed to get a photo with Stephenie Meyer. Only photo of the night! Stephenie was absolutely lovely and signed some books for another fan. She was really sweet and was worried about looking tired after the long night, but I’m sure you’ll agree she looks amazing. Stephenie had a bright blood red purse that was totally Twilight appropriate.

We also saw Dakota Fanning, Michael Sheen, and Jamie Bower leaving into a cab. They left quite early actually. Michael was wearing a grey cargo jacket with a plaid shirt underneath. Jamie had a cute poorboy cap on, blue jeans, and a blue military-ish jacket. He had this HUGE stiff burgundy messenger bag. Wonder what he had in there… I wonder why so many of the cast members had messenger bags with them at a restaurant… HMMMM…. maybe more evidence for scripts?

Also saw BC boy hottie Cameron Bright… he’s going to be awesome as Volturi Alec. He is seriously cute. Who doesn’t love a Canadian boy?

Cameron was laughing and smiling a lot and seemed super cheerful. Sporting a backwards red baseball cab and a graphic tee.

Rob spent a LOT of time outside on the patio with Kristen. Charlie Bewley and Ashley Greene would join them from time to time, but they surprisingly spent a lot of time sitting very close together in the corner of the patio smoking for most of the night. This is not some “gossip site” making it up… I saw it with my own eyes. Didn’t get many photos of Rob unfortunately, but here he is standing tall with a blue plaid shirt, black pants and black shoes.

I also saw Ashley Greene and Charlie Bewley at the bar doing shots. They were there for quite some time. Go Ashley! Looked like she could keep up her drinks with Charlie just fine.

Here’s Rachelle leaving the bar… most of the main cast members left the bar at the same time and hopped into 2 cabs and one limo.

Guess who was in the limo together? Kristen and Rob. Still not sure anything is going on romantically there but they do seem like very close friends. Check out the huge manuscript in Rob’s pocket. Gotta be a script, right?

Hope you guys enjoyed the pics! We had such a good time and nice to see our fellow fans again

I am very happy to report that one of my best friend’s and her friend FINALLY got to meet Twilight’s Rob Pattinson last night. Rob is definitely Amy‘s favourite actor from the movies, and while I was a little jealous that she got to saw him last night while I was up at the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Fest, I am glad that she used a tip I got and happened to be at the same pub as him! (I just have to gloat a little ) So happy for you Amy!

Here’s her story (thanks Amy for letting me post this!):

“It was a friend’s birthday last night so we went out for dinner. On the way home we decided to stop into a pub for one last drink. The place wasn’t very full because it was 11pm on a Sunday.  We were seated in a booth and ordered. The birthday girl suddenly says “is that Rob RIGHT beside us??” and I glance to my right and see Ashley and immediately look back to her and say “Shhhhhh….”.  I couldn’t bring myself to look again so I wasn’t even sure if he was there.  Both her and I start silently freaking out.  I quickly looked over again and saw Rachelle Lefevre (so tiny in real life!! and her red hair is gorgeous) and Ashley Greene on one side of the table facing me and Rob and some girl sitting across from them.  They were at the table right beside us!

We were in total shock and couldn’t believe it at all. No one seemed to notice them and were able to just have a casual conversation, some food and few drinks.  Rob didn’t even have his toque on or anything, just sitting there in a t-shirt.

I had to go to the bathroom so I was watching to see when they weren’t full, but before they were empty, Rob got up to go stand in line.  I told my friend to go to the bathroom so she could talk to him.  She did and had a conversation with him that went somewhat like this:

Friend: It’s my birthday, I just had to come talk to you!
<Rob shakes her hand>
Friend: How do you like Vancouver?
Rob: Yeah it’s pretty nice!
Friend: It’s a lovely city. I just moved here myself.
Rob: Oh? Where from?
Friend: Saskatchewan… ever heard of it?
Rob: Yeah I’ve heard of it… I think I was just there a couple days ago. (We think he thought Squamish)

But was soon interrupted by a couple other girls that went up to ask for a photo.  I was going to go over there but saw Ashley look over at the bathrooms and saw the small crowd gathering around Rob (about 5 girls). But my friend came back to the table and yelled at me “Amy! Get the **** over here right now!!”  She had forgotten her camera at the restaurant.  So I went over, just as he went into the bathroom and Ashley came over and said “are you guys all waiting to pee or are you waiting for Rob?” I thought Ashley was going to pull him away but she didn’t and just left.  I told him it was my friend’s birthday and asked for a photo and apologized for interrupting his night out.  I said “I’m sorry” like 5 times but he just laughed. haha. Then we each got a photo with him and he said “very nice to meet you!” and said Happy Birthday to my friend. He seemed happy to take photos with the few girls that were there and then everyone left them alone at their table. It was also nice to see that no one interupted them at their table and waited until he was chatting in the bathroom line.

He and Rachelle went outside for a smoke and we were tempted to go outside but I was satisfied with my encounter and didn’t want to ruin the night for them.  It’s great that they have places to go where they aren’t really bugged.

We finished our drinks and left with huge smiles on our faces.  My friend declared it the Best Birthday Ever!”

I am so excited for Amy and glad she was lucky enough to meet Rob!

In other news, I had a great day snowboarding yesterday and I should have photos and a video soon!
