So we went to EastTown's Street Fair over the weekend for fair food, art, and live music.
And we got to see the PotatoeBabies do a 45-minute set.
Being birthday adjacent to the lead singer, I made a custom t-shirt of Paul McCartney singing "It's my birthday too YEAH!" just for the fun of it.
Preparing for their set, the hype men circulated in the crowd, passing around flags, banners, ribbons, and I got a bubble gun!
Once the concert started, the hype men recirculated to pass out Cracker Jacks, boxes of cereal, old vinyl records, and presents. PRESENTS!?
DUDE, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!
With a smile, I was handed a big, wrapped present. It was big and heavy and I tore into it with great anticipation.
I got a rearview mirror, a flying bat, and two microphones.
Essentially, a pile of shit.
Will also got a prize, and it contained a canteen, a Halloween mirror, and a I think a plastic Christmas platter.
Dave too scored, a size 6 pair of Anne Klein shoes I'm going to repaint, and a Miller Lite volleyball bar sign.
So one of the microphones sits in my pen cup, along with my Baseball Hall of Fame pen, and the mini jar of mini trinkets I've collected.
It wasn't about the present itself, but about the prize.
