My Trip To Forks, Washington!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:58 pm by --KALEB NATION--
I just got back from Summer School In Forks, a huge symposium dedicated to Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. I was a keynote speaker of the convention, giving a speech about the appeal of Twilight and why those books are so amazingly popular right now!
While I was there, I got to hang around and meet lots of great people, and later drive around with Lori and Laura from the Twilight Lexicon and see all the Twilight-inspired places in the city! Unfortunately for me, about half of my video footage was CORRUPTED. In fact, as I was editing my video files, clips that were fine actually corrupted themselves for no reason at all. Luckily, I salvaged what is in the video above — and was able to get all of these awesome photos of La Push and places all around Forks: (click here to view the photos!)

It was a magical experience for all of us who attended. We had the opportunity to experience many literary opinions and theories as well as have a great time. The people of Forks, WA are wonderful and very accommodating to Twilight fans. Kaleb managed to capture the essence of the symposium…thanks for the great job!

I ADORE that note from Forks' real-life Esme. It's so awesome how Forks has really embraced this book and this storyline.

I would like to thank you for giving me a glimpse of what Forks and la Push look like CUZ i am a HUGE twilight fan!!! It is really awsome how they have stuff like Bellas truck, and a reserved parking spot for Dr. Cullen, and a note from the lady who played Esme. I love the video of the Quilette tribe and they traditional music. I am part Indian and I love how they still have there traditions along with all whats going on in the world. I adore that. I also loved the look of the beach. Again Thank-you and I hope in the future I will be able to visit Forks and La Puch and get to see it with my own eyes.
