So Chris Whitehurst turned 40 last week. As befitting for the unofficial “mayor” of the Land of Lost Children, we had a big party, involving several boats and a lot of seafood and beer. Originally Whitey wanted a parade down Lindberg Street, but somehow the event morphed into a boat procession from Jon Beckner’s house to Greentail’s Restaurant on the Currituck side of the sound. At the Beckners’, we presented him with his birthday present–a Fender Deluxe Telecaster, which Gary Rader had bought with a pool of funds from the crew (Gary’s ulterior motive was to get his old blonde Tele back, which Whitey has been using for the past two years). Chris was also given a top hat and scepter, which he proudly sported the entire evening. The party ended up at Chili Pepper’s, where Whitey got up with his new guitar and tore it up with Formula.
Happy Birthday, my man…
