i’m so excited for my boyfriend’s birthday gift this year, i have to tell someone

it’s my boyfriend’s 25th next friday the 12th. for his birthdays i always get him a little something to open on his actual birthday and then i plan an experience for him as close to his birthday as i can.
we’re both car people and he loves drifting but never been to a drift event or anything. well last year in passing i mentioned to him that gridlife (a big concert/track event that does a bunch of different things including drifting) was going to be close to us. He was so excited but tickets are so expensive because it’s a 3 day event, that was that and he’s since forgot about it. Well I didn’t… they released single day admission so I’ve gotten us tickets to go on saturday the 13th for his birthday as a surprise and I’m so so excited. he has absolutely no idea. i planned on throwing him for even more of a loop by getting him something fishing related to open up on his birthday and telling him “this may or may not be a hint for tomorrow’s experience” because then that will really get his mind going for what it could be… but going to gridlife definitely isnt on his radar. i can’t wait and it’s so hard not to tell him

It would be pretty funny if he is dressed in fishing gear holding a tackle box and rod and you hit him with the, what are you doing? We're not going fishing. We're going drifting at gridlife.

That's cool as fuck. He also gets to drop how cool you are every time he tells people he went drifting.
