The Silvia Family's "Twilight Bus"

This reminds me of the Partridge Family bus (an old TV show in the 70s that my parents watched and I caught episodes on Nick at Nite).

Check out the video below to get a better picture of what the bus looks like and hear the above story directly from Dani.

I was talking to a twi-friend of mine the other day (Hi Zaf!) and she made me aware of the fact that there is a bus owned by a Twi-Fan that has been converted into the ultimate mobile Twi-Museum. I, of course, wanted to check it out right away and contacted the owner about featuring her bus on the site.

This amazing feat has been covered on video by Twilight Lexicon as well as recognized by Twi-Star Peter Facinelli (he even took pictures sitting inside the bus). Dani wwrites the following on her blog attempting to answer the question on everyone's mind, "Why a Twilight Bus?"

OK so more people are asking why we would make a Twilight bus so I thought I would answer here.

First off we have 10 kids, a few who are special needs and medically fragile. We came across a small school bus for sale and it fit us all and the medical equipment and our strollers in it so we bought it.

I know it is embarrassing to be seen driving around in a "short bus" at least for my older kids so we thought of a way to make it less of anembarrassment and more fun to be seen in.

Me and most of my kids are HUGE Twilight fans so we decided to make it into a fan based sort of Mobile museum. The bus is our main mode of transportation so it is driven EVERYWHERE! We painted it black , With the help of a Local body Shop (Larrie Cain's Collision Center) and we got a sign guy (ICR signs) to make all the vinyl for it. We paid for materials and the companies donated their time.

Inside we are collecting Twilight memorabilia of all kinds to put on display. The only music that plays is the Twilight soundtrack of which we know all the words (even my 17 month old knows how to "sing" along).

We are teaming with Twifans.com to get some more things for insidethe bus. So far we have 3 posters, a photo and a copy of the Twilight script (complete with facsimile signatures from Ebay!)

We have been stopped by people all over wanting to take a picture and it is not even done yet! This Tuesday the bus goes in to get it vinyl on it. We will be featured in the local newspaper on Thursday. We are so excited!

I am trying and hoping to maybe contact some of the actors from the movies to get some special things for the inside. We do not charge anyone for anything, everyone who wants to can come see it take pictures ect. We are just trying to make a positive out of a negative and to bring positive attention to our family in a fun way.
