Guest post today by Rachel B!!!! Rachel is who introduced me to Twilight back in 2008! Rachel can't make it to LA this November because she just had the cutest baby ever and the @BD2FanCamp FAQ didn't discuss how infants are considered as registrants. So, she has given us an easy to follow DIY guide to making your own Tent City!!!!! READ ON :D

| Why Rachel can't come to BD2 Tent City. |
Listen, not everyone can really afford to go to L.A. for the premiere of BD2. Whatever your reasons may be for not going to L.A.--money, time, children--you can still have fun getting ready for BD2 by creating your own tent city! And let's face it, if you don't camp out for Twilight movies you are NOT a real fan.
How To Make Your Own Tent City:
Step 1: Set up your tent in front of your house. This is best if you live in a big city in a row of houses but works just as well if you live anywhere. Set up your lawn chair and cooler by your tent and put out a sign stating "Line Forms Here"
Step 2: Bring your TV outside with you and constantly play Twilight, NM, Eclipse and BD1 on repeat. If your eyes need a break you can listen to the soundtracks on repeat, too! In order of course.
Step 3: Put out your cardboard cutout of Edward, Jacob and/or Kellan Lutz. Wait, you don't have one of those? You're lying. You then make a little sign for your cutout saying "saving [your name]'s place in line" and put it out whenever you need to go inside to go to the bathroom.
Step 4: When you go inside to go to the bathroom, put out a box of donuts and a little sign that says "free donuts for Twilight fans."
Step 5: Tell anyone who comes to your door (friends, the mailman, UPS, girl scouts) that they cannot come into your tent city unless they have pre-registered with Summit.
Step 6: Stock your cooler with True Blood. Try to hand it out to anyone who walks by and invite them to hang out with you in your tent! Oh wait, wrong vampire book series. Meh do it anyways!!!
Step 7: Oh! you know what else you can do with your cardboard cutouts? Stick them in your tent and have the flap unzipped just enough so it looks like they are peeping out. See if anyone notices.
Step 8: Follow me on twitter. (@rachel_b123) you'll see why, oh, you'll see
Step 9: Host a Tent City Sign Making Contest in your tent city. Invite all your friends and hang the best signs up on your tent.
Step 10: Go watch Breaking Dawn 2 in your own city. Without all the smelly people who have actually been camping out for a week. Enjoy the usage of your own bathroom. Buy popcorn AND soda at the movie because you saved hundreds on dollars not buying plane tickets out to L.A.! Heck, buy yourself a new BD2 tshirt too!
Fin.
Rachel is the brilliant mind behind the blog "You Just Can't Google Everything." She is a terrific Twilight fan, and a lover of Vampire Diaries, True Blood and most recently, Game of Thrones. She is Team Emmett. She also has other interests besides sparkly vampires and sexy werewolves, but those aren't really relevant to this post.
Oh I'll be doing Step 10 for sure - but it'll be beer instead of soda (or Pop). And I'll be buying a new winter coat instead of a BD2 Tshirt. And there probably will be people in the theater who smell bad. There always are. And they always sit near me. Always.
