A beautiful day on the green.....

Today I met Bradford Anderson. He IS as nice as everyone says. He is very gracious and went around to everyone at the event.

I arrived at the Derryfield Country Club around 11:30. I found out the event would be outside on the deck. The deck is beautiful, it over looks the golf course. People were gathered inside waiting to be allowed on the deck. We could see him on the other side of the glass doors on the porch. He was wearing a Manchester Animal Shelter t-shirt. It was funny because everyone was looking but were trying to look like they weren't looking LOL

They called out our names and we went out on the patio. They had pictures and shelter t-shirts (Shelley if your reading this charge a bit more next time) I got a t-shirt it is great. I loved helping out such a worth wild cause. I also got THREE pictures (wait to find out my plans for two of them)

I recognized Allison and sat with her. She and her amazing friend and the other person we sat with were great company.

Bradford started out by saying he toured the Manchester Animal Shelter yesterday and he was so impressed with it. He mentioned that as a whole NH has a very low euthanasia rate.

He then started his trek to visit every table. He really took time with everyone. We where one of the last tables so we watched him with a lot of the people.

Allison was put an empty chair at our table so he sat at first right between Allison and I. He recognized Allison and was very happy she came and remember where she lived. He was so kind. He didn't know who I was till the end and I told him my name. Then he mentioned the blog. He was great.

Allison, me and Jen at our table. there is a picture of Allison's super cool friend in my earlier pictures
(pictures credit to Jen on our table (thank you for sending them)

Then after a bit they had a raffle for a shelter shirt and then a group photo.

Allison and I then said goodbye.

Nervous Excitement

Tomorrow I am attending the Bradford Anderson Meet & Greet to Benefit the Manchester Animal Shelter.

I am very excited to get a chance to meet Bradford but to be honest I am a little apprehensive. How does one meet the subject of ones blogging? What is his perception of me? If he ever reads this blog he must think it is a bit odd that someone sits around and blogs about his character and a pair of shorts.

I am also very excited to meet some of the Spinelli Online posters. It should great. Bigger then all that we are helping a great cause..

Speaking of the event tomorrow, Bradford posted on his myspace blog about the event tomorrow.

So come back tomorrow and through out the week for reports on the event by me and others.

A Spinlu Treat

If your a fan of Spinelli & Lulu friendship then today was special day. Lulu called Spinelli so she could talk with him. He is the only person she can talk to. It was wonderful.

She said that Spinelli and Jason have something in common. They are both good listeners.. (The Grasshopper has learned well). Lulu seems to accept Spinelli just the way he is and him the same for her. He will disagree with her postion at times but is always respectful. I am personally a fan of the potental romantic couple.. Regardless what happens you get the feeling their friendship can handle anything thats gets thrown at it.

Lulu likes the shorts too

I don't like contradicting you... It HURTS

Today we had a LOT of Sonny & Spinelli Scenes. Sonny told Diane the source of Jason's secret pain. I personally though the Spinelli & Sonny scenes where great. In Sonny's special way I think he was trying to be patient. (Good thing Spinelli didn't meet Sonny before he was on meds)

I heart these shorts so much

sorry this is just precious

take note of the stress ball

After Diane left Kate came and we had a very brief Spinelli, Kate & Sonny scene.

are these just throw away scenes?

ahhh my shorts again

After He left Sonny's office he had a short discussion with Lulu letting her know that Sonny knows about Baby Jake's parentage. Lulu was a little pushy today but lets blame it on stress ok?

As Lulu left the Monster came in and Spinelli and him had words.

eww he is made of goo

Best Dialogue from Yesterday

Thank you to the great and wonderful Spikey who posted this over at the Spinelli Online
----
Spinelli: Greetings, blond one. I come bearing news, but it will remain unspoken until the unworthy one has taken a hike.

Logan: Spinelli -- spinelli, lulu and I were in the middle of a conversation. Can you go sit at the table over there with your little laptop until we're finished?

[Spinelli chuckles]

Spinelli: You're so dumb. Ok --

[Logan laughs]

Spinelli: Laptop happens to be the maserati of motherboards, has four gigs of ram, transmits data 30% faster than the best hard drive on the black market, and has a customized graphics card that optimizes my gaming experience. "Little" -- I think not.

Spinelli: The Loyal One

Spinelli is such a loyal wonderful guy. He didn't want to belive the the worse of Sam. He at least was able to remain loyal to Jason first and told him about the baby clothes and that Sam never went and got the smoothie. I hope Spinelli will soon realize that his trust in Sam is misguided.

Fair Samantha? no!

Not only did we have some great Spinelli & Jason interactions but we also got a three 'Stooges' scene. I actually go against public option in that I have always loved the Spinelli, Milo & Dillon scenes. I really feel he had a chances to get two friends out of it all. Makes me a little sad though. Is this our last one? I am going to miss Scott Clifton.

Speaking of how loyal Spinelli is.. He can always be counted to treat Logan as the garbage he is. Thank you Spinelli!!

who are you to call my laptop small?

I included the picture below because it was the only picture I could get of Lulu and Spinelli today. I really liked Lulu's hair today. Speaking of looking good? Spinelli looked great.

Ashley is amazing as always. :)

The Record: There I was, lost in soap heaven

I found a newspaper story about the Daytime Emmys and it included a picture and a short burb about Bradford.

The Record: There I was, lost in soap heaven by Carissa White

The Orange Soda Chronicles.

Total was a continuation of Baby Jake's kidnapping (Or how many ways can they destroy Lucky)

First we Lucky comes into to Kellys and talks to Spinelli & Lulu. They both give him "what are you thinking" looks when he said he thought Elizabeth did something with the Baby Jake.

whats wrong with you?

you popping pills again?

I don't think Lucky remembered 'attacking' Spinelli in yesterdays episode. He just seemed to 'friendly' with him today. You normally don't tell someone you said is a suspect that you don't trust your wife.

After Lulu & Spinelli parted, Spinelli went to Sonny's house to tell him about the kidnapping. Strange how at times Spinelli just knows what Jason would have wanted him to do.

Drat I can't catch you.

I actually liked the scene with Sonny & Spinelli today. Sonny was less mean and the "NOW" didn't bother me much.
The fact that Kate & Spinelli had their first scene together .. umm No sure how i feel about that

They then capped the episode of with Sam pulling a con on Spinelli for him to stop trying to find footage in the park. It is not that I REALLY think Sam took Baby Jake but that I think she is afraid it will show how close she was to the scene when he was kidnapped. At least Spinelli saw in the end that Sam perhaps is not the best person to put your trust in.

What you doing?

nice shorts

I dont' think that will fit me Samantha

(oh and if your asking yourself why this title? I could not think of a better title and orange soda was in two scenes today)

The Innocent One is Missing.

Baby Jake was kidnapped today (or perhaps he crawled away as Mac said).
We find Spinelli in the foreground of a scene with Lulu & Lucky discussing fathers day

I don't think the blond one's brother likes me

It is here that "Daddy" Lucky finds out that Baby Jake has been kidnapped.
Then Lucky, Lulu & Spinelli rush to the parkI was hoping that Lulu & Spinelli would have watched Cameron for a while together (sniff I wanted more Spinelli and children scenes) but alas we got Spinelli running to Jason as the station to let him know about his child being missing.

Let me see Jason or I will... pout.

He never did see Jason. He did get ruffed up by Lucky though. (as a Lucky fan I don' t like how they have been writing him lately) heal Lucky

Then after the visit at the PCPD Lulu & Spinelli had a discussion about the kidnapping at the Kelly's. Spinelli wanted to get Sonny's help in finding Baby Jake. Obviously Spinelli was not told that Sonny didn't even help to find his own nephew when he was kidnapped at Christmas time.

even when they argue they are adorable.

Best Emmy Momment: BA Fan Blog Style

Ok What was the best moment during the Emmys. (ok we know when Genie won that was pretty amazing and that is my personal all round pick but in relation to the blog topic)


oh Speaking of Genie Francis. She looked Amazing and I was in tears when she won. Wonderful moment.

Bradford At the Daytime Emmy Awards

He was wearing black Armani suit.

He looked great

Red Carpet Photos
He really seemed to be having too much fun.




.
A shot of Bradford during the Emmys

Nice Glasses. (he is to the right)

Found Video of him on the red carpet

sound is low (you need to turn it up to hear it)

We are star crossed lovers................................FRIENDS.

Awww How cute was Spinelli with Jake. awww.
Bradford has great chemistry with the children on the show.
Remember that great scene with Kristina.

sooo sweet.

Take note Lulu.. Some guys have the touch and some don't (like the monster)
Spinelli would totally be a good dad (in a few years ) Some smart girl will swoop him up.


I am greatfull that they didn't set Spinelli up as a real suspect of the baby Jake kidnapping. I mean he was with "Daddy" Lucky when it happened. Poor Elizabeth.. How many mommies of two have taken your eyes off one to attend to another.
