Pop Star Cody Simpson Hits Rockaway
Young fans swoon as Australian singer signs autographs.
When the Beatles hit American shores, they called it the British invasion. Rockaway experienced an Australian invasion on Saturday, as pop superstar Cody Simpson hit the Toys 'R Us store near the Rockaway Mall.
Fans started lining up at 8 a.m. for Simpson's appearance, scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Simpson signed autographs for 90 minutes for fans who had previously purchased Simpson merchandise and had the receipts to prove it.
Patch was there to catch all the action; fortunately we didn't have to catch any fainting girls.
