Lord help me, I just sent a car a fan letter.
August 15th, 2009
Thought you might want to see what I wrote:
Good Morning Herbie!
My name is (The Son), I am your BIGGEST FAN, and am turning three on 8/31. You are my all time favorite, my Grandpa brought me an rc you in the hospital the day I was born and I carry you around instead of a blanket or any other lovey. I kept leaving you places so my parents spent an obscene amount of money on eBay to replace you, so now I have you and a spare just in case.
I have seen all of your movies MANY times, but my favorites are The Love Bug and Herbie Goes Bananas. In fact, I want to name my goldfish, Ocho, because of Herbie Goes Bananas.
My Mama is throwing me a Herbie birthday party on 8/30! I am so excited, because she tells me you are coming! (or some poser who looks just like you is coming.) Could I please have your autograph? Anyway I could get it in time for my Party? I thought my friends I am inviting might feel left out since they love you too… so may I have 4 autographs?
Thank you so much Herbie! I LOVE YOU, and can’t wait for the rumored Herbie in the Outback movie.
Love, The Son Huckablog
(thanks to my mama for helping me type!)
You can send Herbie an email too by going HERE:
UPDATE: DAMAGE CONTROL:
Uhh. Awkward! Right, uh, so I have lots of friends who read this site. Lots of friends with children. Lots of friends with children who have not been invited to this party. We are going on vacation really soon after the party so decided to keep it really, really small by only inviting three of The Son’s friends who are exactly his age, and car obsessed boys, and whom he sees all the time. We still love you, and your precious little one, but uh–well please still be our friends! And, invite us to your birthday parties if you are having big ones with more than a handful of age appropriate friends, we will totally come and bring awesome presents, books probably.
