New Moon Movie

It’s a bit of a long story but it’s so worth reading.

Hello my new friends – I have a story for you.  One of those good stories that you smile about and remember.  Also one of those stories that seems so perfect, you think there had to be some cosmic force at work!

About a week ago I was waiting in an airport in Seattle to head to Austin, Texas for SXSW – one of the biggest music festivals in the world!  Of course, I was excited for the warm weather, for the sunshine, and most of all to be inspired by the thousands of musicians there to share their passion.
As I was waiting for my flight, I walked past a book stand.  There it was, “Twilight”.  The anti-pop culture part of me thought, “No way” but curiosity won this time. 
I thought it would be a good way to kill time on my 14 hour commute.  It ended up being the perfect escape.  I madly flipped through the sexy pages feeling slightly awkward for the plane passangers beside me.  I of course was drawn to the character of Edward.  His desire to protect.  His desire to love, no matter the cost.  It appealed to every feminine part of me and was a perfect travel companion.
I finished the book on the way back to Vancouver and was sad to read the last page.  I was of course eager to see the movie.  This is how I was introduced to Robert Pattinson – of course I had seen him in tabloids and knew he was this huge heart throb…well now I know why.  He captured Edward beautifully.  His gaze, his intensity.  I laughed at how easily I had become a fan and how out of the ordinary that was for me.
So I started posting humourous comments on my Twitter – you know how Edward and I are vampire soulmates.  I joked around with my friends about it.

This is where it gets interesting…

A few days ago, after I finished the book and was playfully posting about it, I had a video interview posted on the Toronto Star website about my Canadian Tour Kick off Show.  As I finished watching my interview, I noticed my interview had been somehow linked to another interview…it was of Robert Pattinson.  I smiled at the coincidence.
The next day I had an article published in a widely circulated paper here in Vancouver called 24 Hrs.  They were promoting my upcoming Junofest show (The Junos are the Canadian Grammy Awards).  I flipped open the page to my interview and who is on the page beside me?  Robert Pattinson.  I laughed out loud this time.

Then the best part…
Last night I was at a Juno Afterparty at Richards on Richards (a fantastic live music venue in Vancouver).  I’m hanging out upstairs and I look over…it’s Robert Pattinson.  I couldn’t believe it!  I spent the next few minutes trying to figure out how to say hi and what I could say that wouldn’t sound crazy.
I walked over and he was saying to another girl, “I can’t do that.  I can’t do that”, so I pulled up beside him and said, “What can’t you do Robert” and he said, “I can’t take pictures tonight”.  So I leaned over and said, “I don’t need a picture of you.  You’re just a normal person trying to have a good time.  I’m just happy to have this moment with you.  Sometimes people want a piece of you, more specifically, a piece of Edward.  I’m happy to be meeting you.  At the end of the day, you’re just like me.”
At that point, he pulled me into an warm embrace and said in my ear, “You are the first person to say that to me all day, thank you.  Honestly, thank you”.  I said, “You’re welcome.  We’re the same”.
I told him about how I was a performer, so you never know, maybe he’ll be at a show someday!
In the end it was lovely to meet the man who so well depicted the character so many people love.  I can tell you two things:
1)  Even though Robert is not Edward, he has the same intense stare in real life.  It took me off guard.
2)  He smells lovely.  The stinky thing is a bunch of tabloid garbage.

Somehow, my meeting with him got posted on Robert Pattinson websites because I have had over a thousand plays of my music today and it’s only noon!
I have received countless messages and twitter adds.  Thank you!
If my meeting with Robert introduces you to my music, then this is even more cosmic than I ever thought possible!

At the end of the day, this story is about my music and about how it seems that all of this was meant to happen.  How I was meant to pick up that book, how I was meant to have all that press published, how I was meant to be at that club last night, and how I was meant to meet you.

I hope you enjoy my music and that it communicates with you.  This is my passion and is what I breathe each day for.  The thought that over 4000 people have heard my music today makes my heart beat fast…almost as fast as my heart beated while flipping those pages.

love love love

Who knows, maybe I’ll be on the next “Twilight” Soundtrack…with your help anything is possible

love, adaline

p.s.  If you watch my electronic press kit on my myspace page – the venue where I am performing in the video is the same room where I met him last night.

Touching story and one very lucky girl! It’s good to see a down to earth approach that was indeed unique rather than a “OMG ROBERT PATTINSON!”. Because I’m sure he gets much more of the latter than a mature greeting. Have you met Rob? Drop a comment below and tell us about the encounter .
