An afternoon with Bradford in NH

Well the Second Annual Meet & Greet to benefit the Manchester Animal Shelter is over and it was another great event. Bradford really takes time with everyone and makes no one feel second rate.

I had a busy morning pre-event. My baby had his six birthday party. Is it bad that I scheduled the party so that it would not conflict with this event?

I left my house a little after 2pm. I made it to the location before the event started though I was a little late because I could not find the place. (THANK YOU ALLISON FOR SAVING ME) I sat with my girl Allison during the event. She got some great seats. (uncomfortable but nice)

Bradford arrived shortly after 3pm. (I heard rumors he got just as lost as I did )

He did an question and answer section. I got some of it on video but I missed a lot of the first questions. (link to videos)

Some Highlights:

Spinelli may or may not have Aspergers. Its something thats been discussed and alluded to but its not something that is 'official' because its never been on the screen. They planned a more related storyline but he not sure if it will ever get picked up.

When Sonny called Spinelli "Freaky Boy" it was adlibed when the higher up said that Sonny needed to be mean to Spinelli. Maurice got Bradford a shirt that says FREAKY BOY three times.

Bradford is going to the Emmy's he is presenting with Jason Cook and Kirsten Storms. His date is his mom. No really He is bring his mom. Isn't he the sweetest guy ever.

Bradford would LOVE to do Dancing with the Stars but does not feel he is big enough.

I asked if we would get another Naked Spinelli Day. He said perhaps we just may. He then discussed he feels he has shown more skin then most everyone else on the show. He mentioned the scene where Spinelli was being 'trained' by same and he was shirtless. The lighting director asked that he be bronzed because his white chest was making the light reflect.

He spoke a his high school alma mater graduation yesterday (Friday) and he is getting excited about his upcoming high school reunion.

He was not asked to do Night Shift 2 and will not be in it.

He discussed his thoughts on both Maxie and Lulu. He loves working with both Kirsten & Julie.

He then took a recording for his web show on Soapnet.com

After that he visited every single table to get a chance for people to take pictures and visit. When we got to our table he commented he had just show his mother this blog.

They then did a group picture & presented Bradford a letter of recognition. He seemed generally touched. and we hung out awhile and then I had to go. The kids needed me. Time to go back into mommy mode. I was going to bring my daughter today (I even paid for her to go) but the girl needed to rest and honestly it would not have been a good place for her to hang out for 4 hours :) Maybe next time. If you ask my daughter what her favorite Spinelli moment is her response is "When he was Naked Momma.. It was so funny" Did I mention she was 4?

It was all and all a good event. How special it is Bradford is so eager to give back.

Lake Elsinore Event with Bradford, Julie and Josh

Today, my daughter and I attended the autograph signing at Lake Elsinore Outlets with Bradford, Julie Marie Berman and Josh Duhon. We're fortunate enough to live only 20 minutes away, so we were definitely excited when we heard about the location of this event.

Given the reviews of SSW and how large crowds are known to get, we weren't sure what to expect as far as turnout was concerned, so we arrived at 9:30 (the event was from 1:00-3:00). The place was deserted! So we ended up shopping for awhile. Finally, around 10:30, the tent and table went up and a few people started to show. We finally decided to get in line around 11:30, just to be on the safe side.

We met a lot of nice people in line, several of whom had been to SSW and had missed the chance to meet Bradford due to his enormous popularity at the event. Needless to say, they were excited to see him.

Everyone knew that the three of them were inside of an empty storefront right beside the signing area as they had a "dressing room for performers only" sign on the door. The windows were blacked out with paint, so you couldn't see in. Everytime the door opened, a hundred cameras would go up in the air to snap a picture, but alas, it was security guards or other people. The crowd kept giving a collective "awwwww" everytime it wasn't them. LOL! It was kind of hilarious after awhile! At one point, Bradford's lovely girlfriend, Angela, emerged and walked off down the mall, apparently to shop.

Finally at about 1:03, the door opened and out came the three.

Josh, Julie and Bradford sat right next to each other, and each had a stack of photos.

Each of them signed one for you when you approached the table, but you weren't allowed to stay very long and chat, which was a bummer. There was fear in the crowd for awhile because the security guards said that if the crowd got too big, we wouldn't be allowed to take photos with them. By the time my daughter and I left, the line was VERY long, so they probably did stop photos at some point as the event was only for two hours, but we DID get a picture!

What can I tell you about Bradford that you haven't already heard? He could NOT have been sweeter if he tried! He recognized me right away with the biggest smile, and although I think they were supposed to stay seated and sign autographs only, he leaned across the table and gave me and my daughter both a hug. We chatted very briefly as the security guards were really hurrying things along. Julie was just STUNNING in person, and so sweet. Bradford asked me if I had a little "thingie" over the "e" in my name (Rene'), and I said I did. Julie had already signed her photo for me, as had Josh, and Julie yells out "you do? Oh!" So she takes the photo back to add the accent mark. I told her it was no big deal, and she smiles and says, "yes it is!" Then she took Josh's photo and added it on as well. Josh leans over to and says, "what did I do wrong?" and she says, "nothing, I fixed it for you." It was cute.

Poor Josh. He looked shy and kind of shell shocked by the whole thing. He seems very sweet, and I'm kind of sorry now I didn't speak to him more, but they really didn't give you much time at all.

I was definitely glad we went so that we at least had a brief moment to say hi to Bradford.

**Personal note - I've only lived in California for eight months, so I have to tell you - standing in line and actually sweating in the direct sun (it was about 78), surrounded by people in shorts and tank tops in front of a HUGE Christmas tree, surrounded by palm trees and just FOUR DAYS from Thanksgiving was something else! Wonderful but kind of contradictory! My relatives are freezing in parkas back home! LOL!

Reminder!
