After driving to San Antonio from Houston (or actually riding while my hubby drove), I met up with some cohorts for a pre-show party, not to mention a gush over Steve fest, on Friday night. (Pictured left to right: Leanne, Gina, Rechele, Tamara, Adrianna

A few of us (Kristy, Rechele, Gina, Adrianna) gathered in front of the show poster for a pic opportunity before standing in line for hours to assure us a good seat for the show.

After the mad dash for the best seats in the house, followed by another wait and a small comedic introduction by funny lady Dee, we were finally graced with the presence of THE MAN. First topic for discussion...Alcazar’s & Dillon's hair.

Steve poked fun at some of the storylines and the things the writers make them do, and how a lot of it doesn't make much sense, such as how can Ric be DA?

Steve asked us if we knew Liz was making a rounded sign around his belly with his hand, and we all laughed and nodded. Then he asked if we knew who the father was, to which we all laughed and nodded again.

Steve explained that he doesn’t follow the storylines on the show and told a very funny story about Maurice Benard and how he was doing a scene with Becky Herbst and was worried because she didn’t look at him during the whole scene. He said “Mo, she’s blind.”

Here come the questions from the crowd: If you were to do another movie, who would you most like to work with? A: He said that he was very happy with GH and that he had plans to stay there, and was negotiating a 2 year deal right now, but that he would like to do a movie with Anthony Hopkins (Whoo hoo! my favorite) or maybe Al Pacino. A guy in the back of the crowd (probably one of the hubby's that got dragged to the event) yelled out Pamela Anderson and everyone laughed. I think Steve said yes, she's very...talented.

Later on, one of the fans asked if he could choose who his leading lady would be who would he pick and he jokingly answered Pamela Anderson and very politely went on to the next question. Very classy and diplomatic in his answers. He did discuss the problem with all the bedhopping and kissing other women in soaps since he is married. He explained that it was acting and he gets paid for it, then goes home.

Another fan asked if he would submit an Emmy reel this year and Steve answered yes and that he believed it would include the episodes where Courtney told him about the miscarriage and one of the Emily cancer episodes.

When did Jason fall in love with Courtney? That one seemed to stump Steve and he hmmmed around on it until fans starting yelling out events such as when she was stripping and he said no, definitely no, not then, then he said that this was a very good question maybe he should get back to her on it, let him think. Someone else yelled out the rain kiss and he started to nod his head to say that that was getting closer to the moment.

He made fun of Ingo's name a little bit, called him Ingo Orville Redenbacher, then when on to explain his little disclaimer that we had to understand that this was a show and not real life, but that since we were Texans he figured we'd get that quicker than some of his East Coast audiences. (Surprised I didn't hear many hisses from that! LOL! I know there were fans from all over in that audience. Liason fans from Maryland and Journey fans from as far as Alaska and Hawaii) “I’m brain damaged myself.”

I was sitting right there at his feet and at one point he came over to stand in front of me to answer a question from someone behind me. As he was waiting for them to actually spit out their question (lots of nervous people, believe me, I didn't even try to ask a question ), anyway, he looked down at me and he said "hi there," and grinned. OMG! that was enough to stop my heart!

They had an auction so Jeremy, a friend who travels around with him, could raise money to go to vet school! They auctioned off some photos and scripts and signs and stuff. And just about everyone who won one got a hug from Steve.

Steve ends the show by reading a poem that he wrote about General Hospital years ago.

My big chance to get my hands on Steve. Can it get any better than this?
