Edward's Birthday Bash

09/12/2024

Twilight Fans Unite! Jamie Kelley here - huge Twilight fan, cosplayer, and creator - and I'm starting a channel that's all about pop culture that I enjoy, with Twilight being a major part! And to help grow the channel, I'm giving away exclusive Urban Outfitters Twilight LPs! We'll draw names from the YouTube subscribers to give away the "New Moon" LP once the channel hits monetization, and the "Twilight" LP when we hit 3,000 subscribers!

NOTE: This giveaway is not associated with YouTube, Urban Outfitters, Fickle Fish Films, or Lionsgate in any way, these are from my own private collection as a fan.

There's not much on the channel as of now (September 12, 2024), but that will be changing soon, so keep an eye out for new videos starting in November! As the channel grows, we'll get to dive into more fun stuff, like fan films, high-quality interviews, live events, and a lot more!

In the meantime, I'll be posting more videos soon, so if you like Twilight, movies, video games, board games, cosplay, pop culture, and more... welcome!

EDWARD'S BIRTHDAY BASH 2024/2025 ANNOUNCEMENT!

In my post yesterday, I talked about the Twilight community and what the community means to me. In the past, I've talked about wanting to find ways to give back in some way as I move forward with everything. I have several things in mind for that, which I will be getting back to soon.

Now, I'm going to reveal publicly one of the ways that Edward's Birthday Bash will do that, too - how you can help the EBB, and how that can help you, too!

I know a lot of folks in the community have projects they're working on (cosplay, costumes, films, etc), bills, and so many other things. It's rough out there, especially for fans trying to do it all themselves.

So, everyone who shares the EBB info (www.edwardcullen.net) with others out there, be sure to tell them to mention in the email to me (they email [email protected] if they're interested in getting tickets when they're on sale) that you sent them (name and social media handle, ex: "Jamie Kelley from Instagram sent me, ). I'll put their name down in the mailing list with your "sent by" info noted beside it. And when we have the list we need and we start selling tickets (2024 or 2025), you'll get $5 from every ticket bought by an email address matching someone on your list!

There are 600 seats, so that could add up quickly. And if we sell out completely, I'll double the highest number.

I said from the beginning that I wanted this to be a community-friendly and forward-paying event as much as possible, and this is one more way I plan to keep that promise. I plan to find more, too - to both help the existing community, and to bring more people into it however we can!

So please share the EBB information as much as you can - your help is greatly appreciated!

You don't dance? Well, I could always make you. 😉

Photo taken in Feb of '23, the first time I ever put this outfit together. A magical time with wonderful people, and I look forward to doing it again with a huge group of fellow fans - hopefully at the Birthday Bash!

Just two quick notes for anyone sharing the video and page info

1st - THANK YOU!! And don't forget to make sure people mention you when they email us to be on the mailing list so you get your surprise if they eventually get tickets!

2nd - I'm a huge "everybody helps everybody" kinda guy, and being respectful is an important part of that. So the one thing I ask is that you *don't* share the video/etc on pages set up specifically by/for other Twilight events/conventions. No one has done this yet (as far as I know), I just wanted to make sure I said something beforehand.

If we make this happen, two important goals are to support independent creators and creatives in the community, and to show fans who are new to the fan family more about the larger Twilight community - and encouraging everyone on our end to be as respectful as possible helps make that happen and keeps everything positive.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Edward's Birthday Bash introduction + mission statement video!

If you're a Twilight fan in the Midwest (or are able to travel here) and looking for a fun and different Twilight-fan experience, that’s exactly what we’re looking to build!

We're a small group of Twilight fans looking to start a Midwest (and maybe other places, too, when we can) event that's a great way for fans to have a great weekend and meet other fans and creators in the Twilight fan-world! Right now, we’re looking at a three day event around June 20th, with ticket prices of around $75 - in a beautiful 600-seat venue in the Ames, Iowa area!

In order to make this happen, we want to build a mailing list (that will not be shared or sold, btw) of fans and sponsors/vendors who would like to attend and/or support the event, and once we have the numbers, it's "let's go into Twilight" time! Go to edwardcullen.net to email us and get on the mailing list, so we can do just that!

What Can Fans Expect? (this is just the initial list, btw)
**Twilight Saga Films Costumes and Props Exhibit
(over 12 costumes and props worn/used by the cast for filming, including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and more!)
**Prom-Themed Dance Party
**A Special Live Music Concert Experience
**Celebrity Guest(s)
(hopefully more than one, though we’re still in the building phase)
**Special Twilight-Inspired Vendors and Authors
**Character Cast - Photo Ops And More!
(specific announcements to come)
**Trivia Contest - With Prizes!
**Costume Contest - With Prizes!
**Special Themed Games
**Special Themed Events
**Exclusive Film Costume Photo Ops!
**Special Limited VIP Experiences
(including a special private birthday party at the Cullens’ nearby residence)

And for those sharing, be sure to tell everyone you share with to mention your name when they email, as you'll get something special for each person who mentions you when they eventually get a ticket. 😁
