BOBBLE TIKI: OLDER THAN FLASH BUT NOT AS KICK ASS >>>

Most of Bobble Tiki’s friends, many of them reclusive sorts who emerge from their dank, squalid apartments only to grab groceries and report for jury duty, aren’t really into their birthdays that much.  Bobble Tiki hangs out with them one day, doing very little of consequence, and he finds out a week later, by accident, that it was their birthday, and all Bobble Tiki did to celebrate it was watch some court show on television. Honestly, Bobble Tiki doesn’t understand these people. 

Flash, the man behind Hell’s Kitchen’s genius and stability, is turning 40. The hell to keeping it secret. Flash has titled a killer rock show the “Flash’s 40th Birthday” show. Everyone bring him a case of Diet Coke and go rock your face off to The Dehumanizers, Mos Generator, South 11th, Mico De Noche, Toe Tag, Artimus Maximus, and Star Spangled Bastards Saturday night.

Happy Birthday Flash.
