What if your husband threw you a surprise birthday party with its own ice skating palace, fleece vest scarfs and gloves for every guest, an ice show, a performance by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and a performance by a jazz band in your own 50’s style dinner? Then you too would be as lucky as “Pat”. She was the very happy birthday girl that Craig Heath, Ashley Clark, Fred Palascak and myself got to perform for in Birmingham last week. It was a very unique experience to say the least. If you are a child of the 80’s, like me, it was so surreal to hang out with Joan Jett!!! She looks the same as she did in the 80’s and she even gave us some of her CDs. We had some much fun at her show that we almost forgot we had to get ready for ours!! It’s times like this that make what we do so cool.
