So, I just had to share. Wednesday was my 45th birthday and DH's company was invited to a private concert with Cheap Trick, so we went. It was awesome. There was free food and drinks, and we had a great time. I walked up to the stage before the show to see the set list and realized that my favorite song (The Flame) wasn't on the list. So...being the determined individual that I am, I wrote a note on a napkin, telling Robin Zander that it was my birthday and that I wanted them to play The Flame. I signed my name and put it right next to the set list by his microphone stand. The venue crew came up on stage and were taping the cords, so I asked them to please not remove my note because I was trying to get the band to play a song. The guy said to me, very matter of factly "If it's not on the set list, they're not going to play it." Oh really???
Well....I stood right in front of Robin for the entire show and about half way though the set, he looked down, picked up the napkin and gave it to the drummer. 2 songs later, he pulled me up on stage, told the crowd my name and that it was my birthday, and then told the crowd that I had made a request for a song that wasn't on the set list, but that they were going to play it anyway, for me. Then he hugged me! And DH got the whole thing on video.
I was on cloud 9. It was an AWESOME birthday surprise and I've been smiling non-stop since then!

I don't think I'm violating any rules here, since my last name isn't mentioned. Hopefully this won't get deleted.
Happy birthday!
