True Blood HBO Mexico event
Our good friend Analaura in Mexico send us a report from the HBO Mexico True Blood Premier and check out the cool gifts ...thanks Ana !
True Blood’s 2nd season’s premiere was on July 19th but people from HBO Latino made a premiere in a very luxury theatre in Mexico City (called Antara) on July 14th. I was very, very lucky to win a pass to that screening because it was for press people and just 10 fans got to attend.
The screening was supposed to be at 7 pm, but HBO asked to wait a bit for registration and control of the people. Once we completed the form, they gave us 2 tickets. The first one was to participate in a raffle. There were a lot of prices, but the big ones were the complete TB’s first season. The second ticket was to claim a combo at the cinema’s candy shop :D
When we got to access, HBO’s frontman started to talk about Big Love and the new season. Just after that he said it was very proud of what HBO has done with the new series, specially of True Blood, cause it was the first time in Latin America they have these crazy ratings and a lot of people was pushing to get the second season right along with HBO in USA and Canada. But they have this policy that prevents HBO Latino to air a new season before 6 months have passed. Now they’ve made the exception and just waited 1 month to release the new season. That’s why they were doing all of this, for the first time in fact. (and everyone applauded XD!!)
And then we got to see the first episode of TB in big screen!!
After the episode was finished, HBO made the raffle and we were asked to leave the room to claim a few more surprises. Of course we went out like crazies LOL!! And they gave t-shirts, a fang pendant, and a CD with the first 4 episodes of the 2nd season.
'Send em back to hell' the board game ...
VikingVamp sees some similarities in the vampire image on the "Send 'em back to hell game ' ???
Do you ?
Maybe paying a little homage to another vampire great ?
'True Blood' Thus Far
Nice article from Katie at Rabid Doll
REVIEW: Gore, graphic sex, true love and creepy scares give series a sharp bite
HBO’s new hit show “True Blood” is gaining new viewers by the thousands each week, and with good reason.
Vampires are everywhere right now, from TV and 
movies to comics and novels. What’s different about “True Blood” is that the vampires are no longer hiding from the public; they’re fighting for their rights in the world. With the creation of a synthetic blood drink called “True Blood,” vampires are no longer in need of humans to feed off of (that doesn’t always stop them from doing so though!).
The show takes place in a small town in rural Louisiana called Bon Temps, and we quickly find out that vampires aren’t the only things unusual about this town. There are also shape-shifters, maenads and telepaths.
At the core of the show is Sookie Stackhouse, a naive southern belle in love with a vampire. Oh yeah, she can also read minds. Bill is her vampire boyfriend, whose thoughts she can conveniently not hear.
A lot went down last season, including Sookie killing the local serial killer who was after her next with a shovel. Meanwhile, Bill was punished by his fellow vampires for slaying another vampire that tried to kill Sookie. His punishment –- make another vampire to replace him. In comes Jessica, who is in his care now; she’s a fiery teenager who causes a few problems for Bill, such as sneaking her new boyfriend into his house.
Sookie has also had to fend off her shape-shifting boss Sam, the owner of Merlotte’s where she works. Sam’s had a crush on her for years, but this season Daphne (a fellow shape shifter) will keep him busy.
Tara, Sookie’s best friend, has found herself caught up with a maenad named Mary Ann –- a god-like creature that drugs the whole town of Bon Temps with her magic, and hosts crazy orgies in the woods, in her house and in Merlotte’s. Mary Ann’s parties do look fun, but there’s definitely something evil going on there.
We’ve also come to know (and love) a few new vampires. Most notably is Eric, the sheriff of Louisiana. He is the boss in these parts, and he’s taken a special interest in Sookie, though we’re not quite sure why yet.

Bloody Hell: 'True Blood' Sets Another Record at HBO
The news just keeps getting better for HBO.
Sunday's episode of the pay cable network's "True Blood" brought in 4.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen. That's a record tune-in for the two-year-old show, and a stunning stat given just how few home HBO reaches vs. other broadcast and cable networks.
Indeed, "True Blood's" viewer tally was higher than the premieres of some much- hyped network shows, including Fox's "More to Love" (4.0 million viewers) and ABC's "Defying Gravity" (3.6 million).
The news was also good for the other shows in HBO's Sunday lineup. Both "Hung" (3.4 million) and "Entourage" (3.2 million) had their second-best ratings of the season.

Hollywood's Most Powerful Vampires
From Forbes.com , Yes the business paper !
We're talking movie and television characters, not agents and executives. Which are the most popular and most lucrative?
Last week, the co-chief of HBO stood in front of a throng of television critics raving about the premium network's latest success. Though previous landma
rk series were built on gangsters and urban fashionistas, the latest ratings coup for the hitmaker is built around … vampires.
It's not surprising that True Blood has been a boon to Time Warner's ( TWX - news - people ) HBO. Since Bela Lugosi hit the screen as Dracula in 1931 these bloodsuckers have proven to be near-sure-fire moneymakers for Hollywood, tapped and retapped by producers looking to lure bodies into seats.
In Pictures: Hollywood's 10 Most Powerful Vampires
"Vampires have become a substitute for fairy tales that adults couldn't tell themselves anymore," says William Patrick Day, professor of cinema and English at Oberlin College and author of Vampire Legends in Contemporary American Culture: What Becomes a Legend Most. "Vampires are dangerous and sexy and powerful and they have what humans want--immortality."
The Vampire Flashbacks Of Our Undead Lives. Plus The Best Thing You've Ever Seen
I'm really picky about what recaps and reviews I read and even more so about what what I post but I always like io9 Meredith Woerner's "Pro and Cons"
This week was A LOT of talking on True Blood. Gabby vampires, talky humans... there was hardly any sex at all. But never fear: we've have a BIG surprise for you guys in this review, check it out. Spoilers below... 
So how do you compete with last weeks amazing vampire lounge lizard moment? Easy, Melrose Place it up. This week was all feelings, elaborate costumes and tears, bloody tears. I enjoyed it, but I feel like we're moments away from the good stuff, and I can't wait to see Godric and his frat buddies unleashed on these Christian vampire haters (seriously Godric looked like the morning remnants from a Jersey Shore party, tribal arm tatt included, and after I said he looked neat a few weeks ago... Tsk, tsk.)
But I'm getting ahead of myself... onward, to the Pros and Cons of True Blood.
Con: Not even threatening the death of my beloved puppy boy can make me interested in the done-to-death sex parties. Maryann, you need a new shtick, and fast. But on the other hand, it did give us this...
