As soon as I heard that Bradford Anderson was hosting his first official fan event in NYC, I knew I had to be there. I've been watching General Hospital for almost nine years, but I had never been to a soap opera event before this one. Spinelli is my favorite GH character and the main reason why I look forward to watching the show. Bradford does such a great job of bringing this character to life. He is an incredibly talented actor, and I couldn't wait to meet him.
My mom and I watch General Hospital together so I convinced her to come with me to Bradford's event. While we were waiting to check in we met up with Stephanie who I have been talking with on MySpace and her daughter, Rebecca. They are both great!!! The four of us were sitting at the same table and we had fun talking while we waited for the event to begin.
I was so excited when Bradford walked into the room! He made everyone feel welcome right away. He is so cute and charming. The event began with a question and answer session. All of Bradford's answers were honest and sincere. He was very funny and made us laugh a lot. After the Q&A, Bradford went around to each table to sign autographs, take pictures, and talk with each person. It was so wonderful to meet him! He gave me a hug and we chatted for a little while as he autographed two photos. He also talked with my mom before we took some pictures. He is such a sweet guy!!!
After Bradford had gone around to all of the tables, the professional photographer took a group photo. Then it was almost time to go. But before leaving I got the chance to say goodbye to Bradford and tell him how much fun I had. That was an awesome end to an amazing afternoon.
Oh and if you haven't already, you should definitely read Stephanie's GREAT recap of the event titled Fan Fare. (Penny posted the
