Comic-Con: Waiting for the 'Twilight' bite

11:15 AM PT, Jul 24 2008

Have you ever seen this many girls up front in Hall H at Comic-Con?

They’ve been here since 8 p.m. Wednesday night, people.

Of course, they’re all here for the "Twilight" session at 2 p.m. where the film’s stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, will hold court.

But first, they’ll wait through panels for “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” starring Keanu Reeves, and “Max Payne,” with Mark Wahlberg -- two guys who mean nothing to Edward fans.

No saving seats!

I am on tenderhooks in the UK waiting for news of the Twilight session. Oh to be in that audience seeing Rob Pattinson in the flesh. I'm so jealous of those girls.

This film is going to be phenominal and Rob Pattinson a huge star. Its amazing interest in the film when its many months away from release.

Lucky women for seeing Rob Pattinson up close and personal. I hope they ask him some good questions. The LA Times should do an interview with him.

She flew out from NYC to San Diego just to see Robert Pattinson!
I hope she sees him~

I'm one of those lucky girls! I'm the one on the right, next to the girl with the laptop looking away (white shirt)! It was quite the experience and I was with some great group of women that waited in line since Wednesday night and stayed all night outside. I came to meet them back at 6 AM! It was worth the wait and I have the close up video to watch over and over again at home!!!

I'm in the picture too!
Camping out in line over night was an amazing experience!

Me too, I am the blonde standing. It was so wonderful to be there with all of you. And some of us got there at 1pm the day before not 8pm. It was a long night but so worth it. Keanu Reeves and Mark Wahlberg were wonderful too. And of course Gerry Butler, he is all man that's for sure! Can't wait for next year!
