Queens of the Stone Age scheduled a show for August 17th...the same day as my birthday. Coincidence? I think not.
Best birthday ever!! Turning 45 was celebrated with a truly magnificent weekend. Between friends visiting from out of town, a successful 10th Annual Beach Blanket Bingo Bonfire (birthday) Bonanza, and the creme de la creme, an evening with Josh, Troy, Joey, Michael and Dean (thank you, Kathryn!), I honestly could not have asked for a better birthday.
And as if this all wasn't enough, my friend, Tiffany, who was front and center for this show, held up a "Please Wish Tai happy Birthday" sign. It would be awesome to be able to say that her amazing efforts brought about a shout out of love from Josh, but no such luck. Regardless, knowing that the band saw the sign, read the sign and in the backs of their minds thought to themselves "it's Tai's birthday" helped make this birthday extra special.
Thanks to all my friends who made this weekend so absolutely perfect! After a certain age, some people avoid birthdays. I guess I'm the minority. I love getting older. I love being 45. I feel good for 45. I plan on making 45 my bitch. And with friends like this, and more shows on the horizon, this being "over the hill" thing is going to be one wild ride!!
