Happy Birthday Jewel!

Imagine that a precocious and weird, quirky kid, just on the cusp of adolescence, jumps over your fence and is heading for your front door. There's a younger, even weirder kid waiting behind the fence with a guy that looks suspiciously like Bill Murray.

As he gets nearer, you see that he's wearing a green corduroy sport jacket with leather patches on the elbows, a red vintage Italian scooter helmet, plaid dress shirt, and orange pants. He has a battered valise covered in travel stickers in one hand and a dark pink box with a bow around it in the other.

He puts the box on your front doorstep and periodically turns to look for signs of life at your window before leaving.

Inside the box there's a bulky pink velum envelope wrapped with a red ribbon, and inside that, there is a folded old gig poster wrapped in pink onion skin. This is that poster.

Happy birthday Jewel, don't overdose on whimsy!

Also there's some delightful French music playing in the background.
EXTREMELY delightful.
