Oooh how awesome! I hope they arrive together

Although I know that's asking for too much with these two

And I'm feeling rather non-commital tonight... anyone want to see a specific title up, feel free to post a suggestion

Sweet Pea · 08-08-2009, 03:56 PM

I have a suggestion!! Don't know if it's good or not

We have our highs and our lows, but news is always good to know.

Augusta · 08-08-2009, 04:06 PM

I'll take it!

Oh, and if there's anything you guys think we need to add up or take down from the OP, just let me know...

tslotatfan123 · 08-08-2009, 04:21 PM

Awesome title! I really hope we get to see Shai or Daren present an award. I think that would be pretty cool

Sweet Pea · 08-08-2009, 04:30 PM

It would be really cool if we were to see them present one together

Ron_Beckett · 08-08-2009, 04:34 PM

Thanks for that TCA news and I totally love the thread title for this place!

Augusta · 08-08-2009, 04:49 PM

I agree Ronnie... A good title Tanya came up with -- as usual

Brunette17 · 08-08-2009, 08:16 PM

Thanks for the new thread Ashley! Cute title Tanya!

I think Daren's going to be presenting at the TCA...I'm not sure about Shai.

Is the TCA red carpet shown on TV? I forget lol.

Sweet Pea · 08-08-2009, 09:54 PM

Thanks, Janine

About the red carpet being shown on TV, I don't know either because this is actually the first time for me to watch the Teen Choice Awards. I'm really not into the whole awards thing because I think they are the most boring thing to ever happen. The only reason I'm watching the TCAs is because of the cast and such.

tslotatfan123 · 08-08-2009, 11:56 PM

I'm bringing over some more pictures of Shai, Megan, Daren, and others from part of the TCA gifting lounge :
