Alma Marie's Review of LA Eclipse Convention (part 1)

First, I want to thank Creation Entertainment for the outstanding job they did on this Eclipse Convention! Everything about the convention (except for a few problems with the sound system) was well done, professional, and very user-friendly. Now for my review and photos.

Overall
The hotel (Hyatt Regency Century City) was very nice to stay in, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The decorations for the main ballroom, vendor area, and Vampire Ball were all very upscale and attractive. Twi-K and I still had money left over from our gift certificate for winning the Twilight Centerpiece contest in San Francisco back in February, so we had fun spending our money in the Vendors area. Our room was clean and roomy, and had a nice view of downtown Century City (and the local mall).

Registration
We had no trouble registering for our Cullen Crest A weekend passes. We received an Eclipse lanyard and a purple bracelet that allowed us into all of the events.

Hillywood Hosts
As usual, I enjoyed watching the Hillywood cast hosting the event and the Volturi Vampire Ball. It was also fun to watch their Twilight and New Moon parodies. It was cool to learn that they used Scottie's Castle in Death Valley as the location for Volterra. And it was very cool to see Hillywood Jasper meet movie Jasper!

Here are a few photos from the weekend to get started. I'll add more details later in another post (part 2). Enjoy!
