ABC

You guys, we spent the weekend with the stars of ABC Daytime at the Stagecoach Music Festival. We gave away an insane amount of iPods, blankets, and tote bags, we ate more barbecue than should be legally allowed, and watched fans get fired up for "Southern Belles: Louisville" in the Soap Nation Autograph Tent.

The weekend also gave us (and fans) a chance to get better acquainted with soap stars like Jason Thompson (who gave us awesome casting dish!), Laura Wright (who looks amazing, even in nearly 100-degree heat), and of course, Steve Burton (who, wow, really makes a crowd go bonkers when he steps out of a trailer.)

Darius Rucker (he was Hootie!) stopped by the VIP area where the stars were lounging on "Midnight at the Oasis" style cabana chairs. He chatted with the stars about music, and we got some amazing photos.
