The Proposition

This is me...

This is Peter Frampton...

I love Peter Frampton. I have loved him since I was a child. I still have the battered copy of Frampton Comes Alive that my aunt “donated” to me. My other blogs have had stories about the man sprinkled throughout (check Sugar’s Smacks for more Frampton love.) I’ve been into metal, punk, disco, alt rock, ska, reggae, new wave, show tunes (theater major, sorry) – and through it all, my love for Peter Frampton has never wavered. I have had the privilege of seeing him 7 times. This is quite a feat since I wasn’t allowed to go to the arena where the "big acts" played until I graduated from high school (I missed the I’m In You tour for just such a reason – I didn’t actually see him for the first time until 1993, at Pleasure Island in Walt Disney World.)

So...here’s my proposition.

We share the same birth date, April 22. Big deal, huh? Well, April 22, 2009, 2 years from today, is my 40th birthday (it pains me to confront this fact, but such is life.) I have had many dreams in my life (and a whole lot of fantasies) but, with the exception of marrying me wonderful husband (check), none have come true. I don’t see why I couldn’t have been a ballerina, an actress, a rock star or a fairy princess.

I want nothing more than to have Peter Frampton play at my 40th birthday party – which (at this moment) will probably be held in Orlando, Florida. I haven’t worked out all of the logistics quite yet, I think lining up the entertainment is priority one. In the next few weeks, I will be drafting a formal request for my dream party to Mr. F. I want to have the site up and running for a little while as well, so he can see that I am dead serious about this.

And what happens, you may ask, if this doesn’t happen? Vegas and a boob job! But, I’d much, much rather have this very special night. Stay tuned to see if my dream will come true...
