Let me first start by saying I am the absolute worst at surprises. Never have been good at them & odds are I never will. Michael knows that. He does his best to not ask questions when he can sense something is coming, but sometimes I just get to a point I feel like I'm going to explode. So I spill... Everything....
This year was to be different. I was going to surprise Michael for his birthday. I knew Australian Pink Floyd was coming in September & I knew how badly he wanted to see them. I had a fool proof plan. I had bought the tickets only a week before the surprise, so I wouldn't be tempted to give them to him too far in advance. Afterwards, I purchased a slew of CDs allowing me something to give him every time I felt the urge to boil over with excitement. See? Fool proof.
I made it all the way to the day before the big unveiling when I got over confident... I sauntered up to Michael & decided to probe. I asked him if he had any idea what he was getting for his Birthday. I thought for sure he had no idea. This was my first mistake. I didn't even let him answer before saying I'll bet you, you have no idea. Turns out he knew exactly what he was getting. To this day I have no idea how he found out, but I'm over it.
Anyway, at the show, we found a great seat, settled down & listened to Led Zepplin 2 play a few songs before our show began. Little did we know the entertainment that was to come. The guy in front of us was a hoot & a holler to watch. 1st of all, be brought binoculars. I mean, you do you. I'm all about getting the better angle. However, he danced the night away & then mid dance move, he would be struck with the urge to look through the binoculars! Then he was stiff as a board as he patrolled the stage. It was extremely entertaining.
I love going to concerts with Michael. I've never met someone who just loves music from his very core. It makes the experience 1,000,000,000 times more fun. Lucky for me, I've got this one forever.
