Friday Fast Five With...Jamie Phelps

1.      Are you a Twilight fan, Vampire Diaries fan, or both? I am a fan of both!
It’s funny because I can remember Twilight being everywhere, but I had no idea what it was. I saw everyone reading the books and I always wondered what the book covers were all about. My husband and I also went to the movies coincidentally when the New Moon was released and I wondered what all the fuss was about. I had no idea why all those women were standing around waiting for a movie to start! Ha! My husband actually rented Twilight for me thinking it was something I’d like (why to this day, I have no clue…I have never been about anything Sci-Fi/Vampire/etc.) and I returned the movie unwatched. He rented it for me again and I finally gave in and put it in while I did laundry one day. I LOVED it, and when I realized there were books and there was more after Twilight – I was HOOKED. I could write you and entire book on my hunt for “Breaking Dawn” which was absolutely hysterical…but we’ll save that for another time. I stumbled on to The Vampire Diaries the same way. My sister was trying to tell me there was this really great show that I would probably like since I enjoyed Twilight. My answer was that I probably wouldn’t like it because I wasn’t into the whole ‘vampire’ thing before, and it was just Twilight that I enjoyed. Ha! I came home from the last Getaway sick and decided I would spend the weekend snugged down watching movies. I started with TVD and drove Brandi Nienhuser crazy texting her with a million questions each episode! The funny part was I went to my sister telling her there was this AMAZING show on that she had to watch and I’m pretty sure she smacked her head as I told her it was TVD!

2.    What is your role at these events? I am not only the President, but I’m also a client (isn’t that how that goes?). Okay, not really…there isn’t a President, but I guess I am the head honcho. I’m the one who says…hey, let’s get the girls together and do this. I was easy to find last year because I was the one sweating and running around. This year, not so much. I will be hard to find because I will be as cute as all of you are thanks to all of the volunteers helping out! It will be like Where’s Waldo?...you won’t be able to pick my face out of the crowd! I love putting these together because planning events is in my DNA. I enjoy it…I enjoy seeing all of those happy, excited, smiling faces enjoying the event that took months to plan, prepare for, and execute. I used to work for a video dating service (yes, I’m serious and no, I did not meet my husband from there) and my job was event planning among other things. I love that I can continue that in a way that I enjoy.

3.    What is your favorite moment from the last Twilight Girls Getaway? Ohmygoodness…I have no idea. I loved getting to know Booboo and his Dad, I loved getting to meet all of you who attended after talking to you for months, I loved calling Andrea and Jennifer hourly while they drove all Wednesday night to get there (I did not sleep at all that night and we kept each other company!), I loved that Bronson surprised all of the women in their PJs at the cabin, I loved rooming with Brandi and whispering to each other as we fell asleep – which I think took all of 30 seconds each night, and having Josh and Britt room next door to us. I made so many incredible memories and met so many amazing women…it was great!

4.    If you could have any actor/actress from either series attend an event, who would it be and why? I wrote this question and you think I would know better. I don’t have just one. Here is my list…Twilight: Peter Facinelli (Carlisle), Robert Pattinson (Edward), Charlie Bewley (Demetri). TVD: Matthew Davis (Alaric), Joseph Morgan (Klaus), and Ian Somerhalder (Damon). Off of this list, I have only met Charlie Bewley before…and he is HILARIOUS! The others I have ALWAYS wanted to meet! You can bet if we sell out of tickets, I will get most of these people there!!!

5.     What are you most looking forward to doing during Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway? I am looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones (let’s just say we’ll all be hugged out before it is all said and done), Thursday night shenanigans (yay for early arrivals!), finally meeting Team Canada after talking with them for YEARS, getting everything set up in the Event Center, and checking everyone into the event, oh yes, and let’s not forget sledding in the snow - I am totally not kidding on this – it is happening!
