    Kristen Stewart's Joan Jett-looking hair sparkled in the San Diego sunshine.

    All three of the Twilight leads were in attendance to promote the next movie in their franchise, New Moon.

    People brought signs with them to panels, like this mom who self-identifies as a "Twilight Mom."

    And Robert Pattinson was like:

    Speaking of vampires, True Blood was in full swing. Alexander Skarsgard, Deborah Ann Woll, and Sam Trammell were on one side of the table...
