Saturday, September 25th, 1976. My 5th birthday was 2 days earlier but Saturday was my party. I was SO excited. I had just started kindergarten and all my new school friends were invited.
My mom had it all planned out. It was a Batman themed party. We had Batman streamers, Batman tablecloths, Batman plates and Batman napkins. Of course we also had a kick ass Batman cake.
My mom had also arranged for Batman himself to come by. This was a big deal for many reasons. One was it’s freakin’ Batman – HELLO! That was awesome. But it was also a big deal because an appearance by the Caped Crusader was not cheap and we did not have much money at the time.
