Let's Play Dress Up With Jackson Rathbone :)


MTV released the third installment of the 100 Monkeys' hilarious web diary - spending a day with these guys must be like being at Disney Land on TwiCrack!

In case you needed a reminder - a lil Jackson never hurt anyone - you can view the previous entries here ;)

P.s. I can't help but be reminded of the movie Dazed and Confused - Jackson would be great in the Matthew MaConaheeeeeeeey role:

Jackson Rathbone & 100 Monkeys Launching a Book? I Suspect Monkey Business!


Everyone's favourite Monkeys have announced their "foray to the literary stage".

You can supposedly pre-order this both autographed ($40) or regular ($10) book at 100Monkeys.com.

I'm calling shenanigans!

With the highly suspect announcement "The group of deeply thought authors will be releasing the highly anticipated and acclaimed work" together with the release date on April 1st, I'm thinking some monkey business is going on here!

My First 100 Monkeys Show - Jackson & Bananas Play Vancouver

So this past Friday I went to my first ever 100 Monkeys show.

I was excited to hear the band play live and have a good time with my buds in Vancouver but admit I was a little concerned I wouldn't be too into the tunes.

Now, earlier in the day I'd taken a friend who was visiting out to the Swan house set location, which was in full filming - big trucks, trailers, cranes plus view blocked by black covers, trees and torrential rain.

Although we did spy a Jasper stand-in/stunt-double so deduced that they were shooting the suspected "Edward's bachelor party" scene.

However, this meant that Jackson was running late for the show back downtown!

So there I was at Venue with @MandysMind, @Cupcakegirl76, @Red_Bella, @RobbedMyHeart and a Haleton of other pals and no Jackson.

The openers, Rags to Riches held up well - I chatted to them briefly at the merch table after the show and they were very sweet boys - even if they looked about twelve... seriously.

Then 4 of the Monkeys took to the stage, announcing a second show would be taking place down the street at Forum with their missing banana, Jackson.

We all relocated and the place perked up en masse when Jackson was in the house. The full band fiiiiiiinally took the stage around 1.30am!

Now, I heart me some Jackson ever since I got the chance to interview him in NYC but have gotta say I was impressed with the Monkey's stage presence as well as sound live:


Yup, I think I'd definitely see them in concert again :) they definitely made me... go bananas:


See more footage over at TwilightCupcake

P.s. Sadly I wasn't able to make the in-store show the following afternoon so totes missed out on a meet and great - dangit!
