Creation has added Los Angeles to the tour stops for the Official Twilight Convention. No information is provided on their site yet besides a date of November 4-6, which puts it the weekend before the Breaking Dawn premiere in Los Angeles (November 14)  and the same weekend the we would typically expect the movie’s press junket to take place.

This is similar to what Creation did around Eclipse, with the Twilight Convention taking place the weekend of the press junket in LA. This meant that the majority of the cast was in town and attended the convention, including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. We’ll have to wait and see what Creation announces for the LA convention this time around.

Thanks to The Lex for spotting the addition of the LA convention.

A new convention has been scheduled in Nashville Tennessee on November 6-8, 2009. This isn’t a normal Twilight convention though.  Read the description from their main page-

As you’ll soon see, our events are more like festivals than conventions. With that said, this is an event created to inspire creativity and awareness of the arts in all forms. Come with an open mind and bring your imagination!

Everyone is part of our community and we want all of you to feel welcomed. Our goal is for everyone to have a good time and not worry about whether or not you can bring your camera or if you’re allowed to say hi to a cast member. Of course you can!

We gear our daily events around things that are fun for the guests and the cast, which include art and poetry contests as well as musical acts. Winners from these contests get a private meet & greet with attending cast and band members. In addition, the winning poet will also have their work read LIVE at Saturday’s ball by an attending cast member.

Jackson Rathbone’s band, 100 Monkeys, will soon be tweeting about their ‘design your own t-shirt’ contest. The winning shirt will actually get printed as a limited edition item and sold on their website. All of the money from the sale of the winning t-shirt will be donated to the Spencer Bell Legacy project. Which brings up a good point. A portion of ALL of proceeds from the NewCon Festival will be donated to the Spencer Bell Legacy Project.

If you don’t know about Spencer Bell yet, you should click on the Spencer Bell button on our site or visit www.SpencerBellMemorial.com. Spencer’s artwork, poetry and lyrics will be featured throughout the festival..

The band will also be having an open JAM session for any musicians that want to participate. If that’s you, bring your bongos and let’s make it happen. Jackson and the band will also be bringing in other celebrities just for fun. It’s going to be a great weekend.  100 Monkeys will also be hosting a concert Saturday night after the ball.

We’ll have the webmasters from all of the top Twilight-inspired websites on-hand and in panel discussions talking to fans about starting and keeping up with their own websites.

There will be LIVE open forums on acting & modeling and how to break into the business. We will also have Q & A sessions with cast and crew members about anything and everything. If you’ve ever had a burning question that you just had to ask, here’s your chance.

Tickets to the NewCon Festival are limited, so get yours today and we’ll see you in Nashville! 

Get all the details and buy your tickets here.

Attending the Atlanta TwiTour Convention just got even better.  We just got this announcement from the convention organizers-

Get up close and personal with Twilight Costumes!

John’s fascination with the Twilight book series lead him into curating one of the largest private collections of Twilight film props and wardrobe. He has spent countless hours researching, searching and finding both screen-worn pieces and exact duplicates of costumes and props worn/used by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone and Rachel Lefevre in the TWILIGHT and NEW MOON films for his personal enjoyment. We are proud to have John and his assistant Maggie at Twi-Tour Atlanta! They will be on hand to share his amazing collection, so have your camera’s ready – you won’t want to miss the chance to have your photo taken with some of Twilightdom’s most iconic costume pieces, including Edward’s wool peacoat and Bella’s blue prom dress!

Photo’s of the costumes and props are encouraged, but please be respectful to John, his collection and everyone in attendance.

It’s not too late to register for this convention! Find out more about John Henson and his Twilight collection and register here.
