How come you can't go? I can't, because it's nowhere near me, but I keep checking the site: www.celebrityeventsgroup.com to see if they add locations/dates.

Thanks for replying to my post, I'm new to this board!!

You pay for it and my food and lodging, I'm there.

I have never watched Guiding Light (except for a couple of episodes), but this sounds very similar to a fan club party I went to for One Life to Live In NYC. I went in both 2004 and 2005 and I met a bunch of the cast members. It was a lot of fun.
Are you going to go to either of these? It sounds cool! Let us know if you do. I'd love to hear about it!
