As tag-along friend lands with his arse in the butter! [permalink]
Lucas R was dragged along to a stranger's SURPRISE birthday a couple months back by a local friend of his. He had just landed in the country from the UK and thought it would be a good way to make new friends. Little did he know he had landed slap-bang in the middle of an organised surprised birthday party for the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) held at a mansion in a secret location in Llandudno - Cape Town's escape for some of the world's rich and famous!
What could be more intimate and personal, then being a part of a surprise birthday party held for the great man?! That is what happened to Lucas R as he found himself singing Happy Birthday with all of the TBG's closest friends.
Not only did he manage a pic of The TBG, BUT ALSO A VIDEO OF HIM WALKING INTO THE SURPRISE!!!
This is what our boy had to say:
The TBG - relaxed, with his closest friends
Hi Seth,
I have just got back home to Bristol after a two month tour of South Africa, The East and Australia. I was going through some of my photographs trying to decide which part of my trip was the best. I looked through my Cape Town photographs first and there was no need to go any further. I relived the night I found myself at a private surprise party thrown for the TBG by about 30 of his closest friends!
I had been in town for about two nights and hadn't made many friends. An old high school buddy of mine who now lives in Cape Town, Eddie, invited me to a friend's birthday party. Although it might feel a bit awkward I thought it would be a good way to make some local friends.
The guy who's birthday it was arrived shortly after we arrived. We were all hiding in this one section of the house (a mansion in Llandudno owned by some billionaire) and the curtains were pulled apart as the guy arrived. I was fllming it and could only stare with my mouth open at my camera's screen - even on that little screen there was no confusing what was going on. It slowly sank in that I was at THE TBG'S BIRTHDAY PARTY! Eddie just looked at me and laughed. He knew what a big fan I was of The TBG (even far away from the UK) and was dying to see my face when I realised where we were. He promised to introduce me to The TBG and he didn't let me down.
It was a night to remember. I was too shy for a photograph with the global icon and preferred to rather try and act relaxed around him. We even chatted a little bit. I didn't get over excited - I wanted him to think I was cool. So maybe I don't have a photo with him, but at least I can say I see him as a friend of mine now!
So enjoy this video (maybe put it on Youtube?) of the suprise and happy birthday singing for my friend, The TBG!
Cheers, Lucas
TBG SURPRISE!
I am speechless! God, imagine being there! And look how super cool the TBG is when everyone shouts SURPRISE! With that sports jacket of his! What an amazing man - if he is human at all!
From that happy birthday singing, it sounds like his real name is Ralph or Rod. Call him what you want, it won't stop him performing miracles and healing the weak.
