I got my husband a clown, J.P. Patches for his 45th birthday party.
If you're from Seattle, you'll really get this one: My husband grew up watching J.P. Patches. J.P. Patches had a local, children's morning program, in fact one of the longest running in the country. He's something of local hero here in the Pacific Northwest. When I found out he was available for adult as well as children's parties, well, I knew I had to make that happen.
It was like those Mastercard commercials:
Birthday cake: $40
Clown rental: $500
Watching your 45 year old husband AND all his bad-ass, long-hair, rock-star buddies turn into little boys again...Priceless.
