Michael Henrichsen was working as the media intern for the Everett Silvertips hockey team when he embarked on his version of the quest for the Holy Grail. Tonight, his dream becomes a reality.
Two years of hard work and determination come to fruition on Oct. 26 when 80s rocker Billy Idol comes to Seattle to play a concert in honor of Henrichsen's birthday.
And Henrichsen has dozens of people to thank for the success of his campaign at playmybirthdaybillyidol.com. Among them are Olympian Apolo Ohno, Beach Boy Mike Love, Mariner Jay Buhner, Fabio, Seahawk Marcus Trufant and comedian Kevin Nealon.
Idol announced the good news on Henrichsen's website: "The people of the world have spoken! The dream will become a reality!"
