Alrighty! So Danielle, Mum, Dad, Sarah and I went to the Twilight Pre-Screening at the Tea Tree Plaza Hoyts Cinema (*breathes*) on Wednesday night! :D
We thought we'd go there a little early so we could eat and maybe do a little window shopping. I think we finished our food a little around 5:30pm (keeping in mind the movie would start at 7pm), and we'd seen a mob of about five girls with home-made Twilight shirts on, walking up the stairs to the cinema.
We were thinking we'd just go up there and get our tickets and have a quick walk around the shops, but...there was already a que of about...30 or so people in line! With one and a half hours until the movie! Jesus. So we got a place in line instead. Sarah hadn't come with us, she'd just passed her test that day (congrats!!!) and said she'd meet us there. By about 6:30pm I think they stopped letting people join the que, it was so damn packed! Sarah still hadn't arrived by then so I was freaking out, lol. We did get in there at around 6:50pm (people started moving, and screaming and pushing -me included, I'm losing my spot to *nobody!!*- ensued) and we saved a spot for Sarah.
She told us that the line went *out* of Hoyts and down the stairs to the food court! Seems like they ended up using two cinemas instead of one. Unless that was the original plan.
Our audience was actually pretty awesome! I was a bit worried about those teeny bopper, squealy type that I'd been reading about on the IMDb forums, but apart from the screams when the movie started and when Edward, Jacob and Carlisle appeared on screen, that was pretty much it. Also some of the direct quotes from the book, and Steph Meyer's appearance got some people squealing.
But I really enjoyed the movie! Of course there's some things I would have like removed (did we really need all that stuff with the nomads..?) and some things added/changed (Jacob telling Bella the vampire story, more info on the Cullens/vampires and the dang blood typing scene!). Apart from that, I really liked it. :D Definitely going to go see it again on the 11th! I like the crowed atmosphere (if they aren't being stupid and talking over the movie) and being able to hear everyone's reaction.
They were also handing out free Twilight posters! Pretty cool. I think they're about...is it, A3? size.

Off to Melbourne tomorrow! I'm really nervous haha, especially after the venue change. Melb Uni? I'm doomed! I hope they have signage, who knows where we'll end up otherwise...LOL. The building's pretty close to the main road we'll be entering, so it shouldn't be too bad...then again I could always get lost *inside* the building. O_____O;;
Still not sure if we'll be catching a taxi or driving to the Uni. It's pretty close, almost straight down one road from our apartment - Royal Parade I think it is. Mum says "Not sure, we'll see." :P I don't know if out apartment has internet, either...not that it'll kill me to stay away from it for a couple of days haha. It *does* say "wireless broadband" on the website for it. Egads, broadband?! 8D
Just down to the last thing like packing shampoos, deodorant, toothbrush etc. And that's it - we hit the road! :P 7am wake up too. .___.;;
*wanders off to find anything else to pack*
