I live in Oregon...how sad.

I live in Portland, and it caught fire and almost wasn't rebuilt! So after all of the twilight stuff, they had to rebuild. It's been very tough here. Unemployment is over 10.5%.

It's a shame that Oregon didn't get them to comeback here. I was really bummed about it.

They do use it for weddings, but the money for promotion is probably not available.

I have stayed at the View Point Inn. At first glance, it does look beautiful, and very prom scene-ish but upon closer inspection, the place has BEEN STRUGGLING- pre-Twilight. I'm sure they let Twilight even film there in an attempt to save themselves. When I stayed there, I was the ONLY guest, and it was kind of spooky. The location IS beautiful- but it's also off the cut, and half way up a mountain. It's not in the middle of downtown PDX. I agree, they could have promoted it ALOT better, and it is a shame that they have to sell it, but hopefully the next owner will do a much better job managing it. Visit tripadvisor.com- and you will see the horror stories RE: the view point inn. Unfortunately not everyone shares our excitement and nostalgia with the fact that Twilight was filmed there!

Anyone know anyone that can buy it? keep the prom scene alive forever? That would be a DREAM job!!! Someone posted the website above... its stunning!!!

It would be so cool to OWN Bella & Edwards prom scene!

Ok... so I watched the video... and I didn't hear them mention that they were selling it. I just know they are mad about Oregon not trying harder to keep filming there. I didn't see anything on the website either. I do think their little "Film the wedding here" petition. Considering they can't film the wedding at the Cullen's House that they used in the film, I think that is a cute idea.

AND... they are taking donations to help cover the restoration. It's at the bottom of their homepage. "Our goal is to get every person to donate just $1." For those who want to help. There's also the "Buy a Brick" program for people who want to have a brick on the walkway.

Awww...it's our Edward!!!! How nice is it to see his beautiful face again!!!!

i live in portland. its sad. i think they should have kept filming in portland cause thats where the movie we all love we filmed orrigionalluy.

aww that was a great place.

even though they built the whole outside gazebo thing and flower stuff for the movie. that is not naturally there.

and if you think about it they don't really need that place for the other movies. nothing takes place there again.

They were probably hoping that if the movies were filmed in Oregon again, that many of the fans who are visiting the sites would want to stay in their inn while there.

It's a really stunning place.
The view is unbelievable.

Ok this is a gold mine. The place , the location, the Twilight connection.... these people need to pay someone to do a little business plan for them (I am available). Come on peeps!!! The website needs sorting out as well.... if I had some money I would be taking over like a shot. Event organising is the dream job................

Rob looked sensational.....i forget sometime maybe I should watch twilight again............. lol

Wow thats a beautiful place.
What a shame.

im really lovin his frohawk looking hair..i love you robert

I had lunch at The Viewpoint last Friday. It's beyond gorgeous. I don't blame the owner for being angry at Oregon higher ups for not trying to keep the saga in Oregon. The owner is a very nice man, seated us in a gazebo for lunch and made sure we were happy. If I had the cash...I would be buying the Inn. Would definitely change up the menu though. Way too hightone for me. A burger for $15 and it was bleeding all over the bun. I wasn't happy about that but...Edward's Elixir was a mighty tasty drink for a hot summer day. :)

I live here in Oregon and deal with the tourism alot. I've seen so many places come and go. Filming the rest of the saga here would have been great. Like for instance, today would have been a great day for filming with all major gray cloud overcast! :)

Yes the state is stupid for not grabbing the Cha_ching$$$$ while they had it but the owners arent so smart either for not promoting it like they should. Come on PPL , anything that has a twilight stamp on it will bring in big bucks if you know what your doing....Stop Blaming the State for your damn mistakes and Grow some balls and be a man and admitt it......YOUR STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAwdddd ..okay Im done.

Hello RR! We should formally introduce ourselves here....

I am Howling Girl
*shaking hands*

And yes I agree They should stop blaming state for their mistake & they are STUPID!!

LOL

Hi IHowl2......****shaking Hands**** Your still a scank like the rest....LMAO

*tearing up*

Awwww RR called me scank!

Wob Woks woves me!!

LMAO

Selling!?? That sucks...they should sit and think of things they can do before they just jump into selling it. Weddings?? Meetings!??? I dunno, I'd buy it if I could and it would be Twilight theme and oriented. :)

HELL I LL BUY IT
*PULLS OUT MY BLACK AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD*
ANYTHING OR ANYPLACE THAT INCLUDES TWILIGHT SAGA RELATED ILL BUY
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

YOU SHOULD!! I JUST FOUND THE WEBSITE....

www.cbseal.com/9053565

I HOPE A TWILIGHT FAN BUYS IT! IT IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL!! WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO OWN THE WHOLE PROM SCENE??

Well he looks even more gorgeous in that make up:)

I think this was actually his best make up from all the movie. Really looks young and fresh, and bloody sexy at the same time;)

There are only a handful of scenes that I love from Twilight and the prom scene is one of them, Flightless Bird was the perfect song choice!

That place won't have any difficulty in selling... I predict a bidding war in the future!

And just look at that pic.. beautiful... and the bouffant is just perfection!!!

I think the price is going to sky-rocket, and the new owners will keep emphasising that "Twilight" was shot there to attract guests.

And you're right, the prom scene was great, the song was perfect and Rob was just.....................I can't find the right word to describe it LOL

so yeah let me check my bank account to see if I can afford it. hehe

We should all chip in and buy it in case society disowns for our raging obession for Twilight, or later down the road when we all go bankrupt from buying merchandise. So we all have somewhere to go! lol

i don't like Rob i like him as Edward alot tho =P

Robbbbbbbbb :)

I just got home it's Rob....smouldering vamp Rob too :) *tips glass of water over head*

This is when he looked his very best......that suit...with the jacket over the top.....and the Edward hair....i saw him being interviewed and he became Rob for me!!!! as oppose to that cute guy from Harry Potter :)

Oh my god...i just got a flash back to my life Pre-Rob.....what the hell did i do with my spare time??

*scratches head*

Aw, I remember when I first heard that they cast him as Edward. I was like oh he's cute, he'll be good, I always loved Edward as a character but didn't realize so many other things
about him until he was brought to life.

Oh and when Kristen got cast I threw a HUGE fit. I was like she looks like a California surfer and she seems like she won't get Bella!

And then I saw one of the MTV interviews him and Kris did,
and they were joking and she was putting stuff she picked from her teeth into his mouth. lol
And I thought it was cutest thing ever and fell in love. lol

I don't think anyone see Rob as something special till they see him in an interview :) lol

I usually find interviews boring as hell :) But Rob's never are :) I hope they've not media trained him too much for the New Moon interviews ) We like our Rob as he is :)

Oh NO!

I hope none of those PR people got any close to him!!!

He's interviews are priceless, just the way he is!! ;)

I know!!!!

*lovingly strokes youtube collection*

Oh yeah I feel like I'm in great need of watching some old Rob Interviews:)

**opens folder Rob_Int**
**sees over a hundred files**

hmm now which one should I start with LOL

LOl I'm gonna do the same :)

I need a little lift :) Gotta start with the twilight tuesdays one :) LOL

LOL

I downloaded as much of them as I could, and now I keep watching them and each time they crack me up:)

I like the audio ones too, that from Duran show is my favourite:)

And from the video ones..hmmm...tough choice, but I think the Access Hollywood one is towards the top lol

Yeah i love that access hollywood one LOL

I've not watched any for ages...i must remind myself :)

I don't think they could media train him ever. He seems to say the first things that pop into his head. lol

Yeah....you always feel like your watching him do one of those psychiatric tests LMAO

Oh well i really hope that's not changed...a year of being mauled in public can do a lot :(

**hugs back**

I don't know why I came to this site.....erm it was the news wasn't it??

but I love you too :))))))

by you I mean second plural not you as only you Nic, but I love you too of course - lol love is confusing;)

Ok ok as long as you love me as well....i guess that will be enough

LMAO

Well I think he didn't get his brain washed:)

I mean look at the interviews from Cannes and MTV MA :)

It's still our cheerful Robbie ;)

Those were from May though...lol

*chews nails*

i only came looking about on this site because i'd run out of rob interviews to find LMAO

But i love you all now :) *hugs*

Yeah. lol

And jeez I hope not:(

*slaps self*

Sorry guys....i am being a real downer about this!!!!!!!!!!

All will be fine :) wooooo :)

Soon we'll have lots of new interviews!!!!!!!!!! And then the Eclipse ones and the BD ones :)

*dances round PC waving bra over head*

Good question!!

My family definitely got alot more attention!! lol

Yeah.....family......it's so important :)

Oh....you don't mean our twi-family here??? What the hell are you talking about then :) LOL

*looks blankly*

HaHa!! Since Twilight came out, my poor family at home has been so neglected! lol

My twi-family has gotten alot of my time the past few months!

*shrugs shoulders*

Is that a better explanation? LOL

Yeah :) I knew what you were meaning :) LOL

But i've pretty much forgotten my other family at home lol :)

Oh dear...feeling guilty!!! I must play monopoly with them tonight LOL

Yeah that's a good question..

I think I was wandering around pointlessly or I was a good daughter, nice sister I had friends, I was going out, I was reading books (not smutty ones), I was eating and cleaning up my house...

whoaaaaaa seems like I'm not doing any of that any more LOL

Next goes personal hygiene....LOL!

I mean, so I've heard....

Hahahaha

yeah you're right, but erm I still remember to do that one ;)

I have problems with the dishes though, I had no mug to drink my coffee in today cos they were all in the sink, dirty ;) so yeah I had to wash the dishes ;) Finally lol

I heard Robs a bit of a slob anyway & likes it like that.
Thats my defense....the more things we have in common the better!.....Lol

LOL

Yeah the cleaning has gone....what friends?? they are all online now LOL:)

Though technically it's not all Robs fault....it's Twilight too.....when i read those books everything went out the window :)

It's like a being a drug addict lol

It's worse but I love it ;)

Oh I wouldn't change my new fantastic virtual friends for anything ;)

*hugs*

Me either :) We just have to all get together and become less virtual LOL

I think I'm gonna rely on your taste ;)

I have some links already, but send them anyway ;)

*gulp*

Now the pressures on lol :)

LOL

I must finish WA today, then I'll be reading that one too :)

I need some recommendation what to read next:) lol

It depends what you like :) I'm really really fussy :) A lot of it reads like crap to me :)

There are a few i like :) I'll send you links :) lol

LOL

I love your way of thinking ;)

I sent you something you may like:) Now get your @ss to the mailbox and check it up!

LOL

I got it :) Shall look at later.....this house is mad at the moment!

LMAO!!! I was thinking the same thing Nicky! He looked so damn gorgeous at the prom scene. And what did I do before Twilight? I don't like to remember those dark times in my life without Rob. lol

*shudder*

They were dull times.......and my standards for what makes a guy 'gorgeous' were way lower :) Who knew a guy could be funny and smart and good looking LOL

Thanks for bring us the light Rob :) LOL

**whispers**
I can't believe I'm saying this aloud, but I used to think Efron was kinda cute before Rob came along. AH! Can you believe it?!!!? OBVIOUSLY, things have changed now. My eyes are only for my Robbie!

*takes out straightjacket*

Please say you're NOT having those hallucinations anymore.....or your going in the padded room :) LOL

No, please!!!! Not the straightjacket!!!

I swear, my loyalty is with Rob! LMAO!
I will never look at Efron again, nor will I want to. And please don't tell Effing, they'll be hell to pay for. lol

**shocked**

well I'm glad you changed your mind! My friend just told me the other day she preferred Effron, cos he looks so composed while Rob's more of a rebel!! Now what's on that chick! lol

WTH?!!!?
Rob is amazing compared to that Barbie doll! Of course, I don't need to tell you that. lol

**pssst**
I like the rebels.

Course he is!!! I told her so!! Was the biggest argument we had since we've known each other, which is like 16 years?? LOL

**psst**
rebels, yum...;)

I can't believe they are going to sell it! Can't keep up the costs? They should turn into a tourist attraction. Use Twilight!!! Someone is not doing their job promoting this place. HELLO! Proms? Wedding? Meetings? Dinners? Bar Mitzvahs? It was a beautiful place, plus Rob Pattinson was standing right here!! He used this bathroom!!

That's a really nice profile pic of Rob too. *swoon*

Yeah this was my tip I sent it. I couldn't believe it.. When I saw this on the news my jaw dropped. I was so disappointed! It better be purchased by a twilight fan so it can stay the way it is. Also There is a petition at the inn's site www.viewpointinn.com to save it.. SIGN IT!

jaypat,they actually reenacted the prom scene last month for a cost of $65 with all the props they used from the movie but i guess it's just not enough. It is a gorgeous location but sort of out of the way.
From a true Washingtonian

jaypat they have reenacted the prom there last month and sold bricks with your name next to bellas and edwards but i guess it just isn;t enough.
It is a beautiful place along the columbia river, this is coming from a washingtonian

i agree and u r right that is a nice pic of rob lol :D

I can't imagine them not being able to bank on the success of Twilight. Have tours...promote " Twilight " weddings....Twilight themed proms, parties, etc....

C'MON GET CREATIVE! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SELL IF YOU JUST PUT A LITTLE THOUGHT INTO IT!

Seriously, how much could Christmas lights be?

I know, right?

Well I really hope that whoever ends up purchasing it, DOES have the money to complete the renovation and DOES use it as a Twilight attraction. It's money for them...and a piece of Twilight history for us

like $2.00 a pack at Walmart....geeze.

Agree Jaypat!! We obviously must put our funds together and buy the place!! ;)
It would be a perfect place for any event.
Welcome to the Twilight Bed and Breakfast, where you can sleep, eat, and dance with a cardboard Eddie. ha! :)

LOL!! That would be awesome!!

I'm telling you, we could make millions. lol

It is surprising! They could do alot with the place!

Weddings!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine how romantic it would be getting married there :) God they could make a fortune if they wanted to :) I'd get married again just to have it there :) LOL

*clears throat* To the same guy i'm with at the moment obiously :)

*whispers* sometimes he reads the blogs LOL

LOL!
I'd help you plan it!! It'll be set up just like Twilight with the Christmas lights and everything! Your wedding song will be flightless bird....I could go on and on....

I was bragging about your hubby to my hubby. He did his usually rolling of the eyes. Hmph!

LOL

What were you saying about my hubby :)

Wierdly he's thinking of joining the site :) When we have a PC each LOL

LoL

I don't wanna think what's gonna happen to your kids if your hubby joins this site... poor creatures lol

*rolls eyes*

Well it's like that anyway....he's a chick kind of guy....he'll sit and discuss twilight with his female mates rather than go to the pub with the boys :) x

Well that sounds OK concerning you're a girl who's actually not girlie LOL

LOL

Well we work opposite days and the kids are always sleeping by 8 :) So it'll be fine LOL

He was gonna use the name MrNics i think LOL

What a relief LOL

Oh MrNics sounds cool, I think he's gonna get a lot of attention on here LOL

Thats a brilliant idea!! Weddings, maybe special twilight themed hen nights or something, parties.......
Have you got any spare cash.......we could go into business........

So much fun...
Much better than a normal job.....

Lol

LMAO! Hen nights?!! I can't stop laughing!

Why are you laughing cheeky???

Want me to come over there and sort you out!!!! LMAO

What are hen nights?

The brides goes out with her friends just before the wedding, or the night before as like, a last night of freedom kind of party.

So does the groom- thats called stag night.
What do you call them?

LOL

There must be a reason :) I've got to find out now LOL

The great stuff we all learn on the internet!!!

LOL

I know! I keep forgetting the different locations.

I would tell them why they are called that but I have no idea!
I quickly looked on yahoo. It said: "because they are looking for c*cks!"

So I gave up.
LOL

Yes, it's Bachelorette here. lol
Hen night's cute too though.:)

OH! I didn't know what that meant either. Now, it all makes sense. Like a bachelorette party?

Yes! Exactly!

I could just remortage the house LOL

Maybe bump off a family member or 2 :)

Nothing to it :) LMAO

My family aren't worth enough to bump off......

Hmm, we've got a savings account to buy our next house....I could do a runner with it.....

Lol

LOL

Seems reasonable to me :)

It would be perfect, it was so beautiful with the gazebo and fairy lights.... hmm I really should invest in a gazebo! lol

Of course to the same guy Nic.. *looks around nervously* yeah I'm sure he's not worried.. ;)

LOL

LOL

I thought i better put it out there just in case.....if Rob was available i'd totally dump though obviously :) He knows this :) LMAO

*considers divorcing an remarrying husband*

So question, nicky, how many people are on your if-he-show-up-on-our-doorstep-we're-getting-a-divorce list???

We, of course, have the same agreement, but my list is considerably longer than his...I think.

I don't know all your list :) I'll tweet you later LMAO

Dido...off to lunch...I'll figure out the remainder and tweet it to you!

LOL Poor effort :) LMAO

I KNOW!!! KICK ME!

Give me the rest of the day...I'll have them by then!

*wink*

LOL

Roughly 8.......i was just bull*hitting though....Rob's not on it :)

You know a few of the others though :) lol

hmmmm...lets see

1. Michael Sheen
2. Craig Ferguson
3. Daniel Craig
4. ????
5.
6.
7.
8.

I'm very disappointed in myself...I really expect to get more...

*hangs head in shame*

Woohoo! 15th place rocks!!!! LOL! :D

That's a shame!! It would have been nice for them to be able to keep it! It's a part of Twilight history!! :(

If we all club together maybe we can buy it :) LOL

Yes, let's do that!! Like jaypat said, if it's promoted right, it should do well!!

We all just need to be in charge!! LOL

It would make a ton of cash :) LOL

And we could all have a few little trips there LOL

14/15th?

I seriously doubt they will have ANY trouble selling that place. If not for natural beauty and surroundings....hello, Twilight fame!?

5th?

I loved the prom scene!!!

"Is it not enough just to have a long and happy life with me?"
"For now."

**little girl scream** I love that scene!

Fourth!

LOL

I LOVED the way Rob looked at the Prom Scene. Ah, to have Rob lift you up and let you dance on his feet...

No, 4th :P

I was slightly faster ;D

Hahaha you tricky gal, you!

I had to MOD myself- you just barely beat me!
