In case you haven't been avidly keeping up with everything about this upcoming movie like I have, let me tell you -- there is a tour going on right now and it is incredibly awesome! I was lucky enough to experience it this past weekend and want to share some of the wealth. But first let me tell you about it!

Thursday night was a pre-screening of the the movie and a party. Personally, I was just expecting it to be a regular pre-screening where you go, watch the movie and then head out. Boy was I (happily!) mistaken! After I had checked in and received my wristband, I made my way to the area where staff members were walking about offering delicious mini munchies: fish, veggies, pizza, you name it! We were also given a ticket for a free drink.

On one side of the room, they had a tattoo station set up:


You got to choose from a few different designs. This one was my favorite:


 But the coolest thing they had was this Machine of Amazing:



 Basically, it looked like a vending machine, but it had bunches of fun If I Stay merch! In order to get a goodie, you simply had to send a tweet to @IfIStay with a number that appeared on the little screen in the front. The number was different for each goodie, so once your tweet was received a message popped up thanking you, and then your gift was released. SO COOL, RIGHT?!?! They should do this for all movies! And lookie what I got??

This is my new favorite article of clothing.

After having some fun with the machine and enjoying the party, it was time for the movie! After we were all seated, there was an announcement for us to turn off our phones -- the usual protocol for advance screenings. But then ..... CHLOE GRACE MORETZ walked in! Chloe is the star of the film and we knew she was in town because she had a signing the next day. But we weren't expecting her at the screening so that was a great surprise! She welcomed us and told us she hoped we'd enjoy the movie.

This may go without saying, but bring your tissues! I laughed, I cried, I wished I was Adam's girlfriend -- everything I did while reading the book.

The next day, Chloe was signing at the Barnes and Noble. I got there about three hours early and was impressed with the size of the line! I think Chloe tweeted out that by the end of it, 600 fans had shown up! She is just so lovely. When I got up to her I'm like, "Chloe! I saw the movie last night and you were fantastic!" She was like, "Did you cry??" Me: "YES!!" Then I awkwardly tried to take a selfie. Finally it seemed to work and she's like, "There you go!" So cute! She was like my little Selfie Cheerleader:
