Why Elvis?

That's what we'd like to know... so on August 2nd we headed to Graceland with a four chick crew and a pink Cadillac for the 30th Anniversary of the King's passing (d. 8/16/77). The caddy died two days in (check out our Blog archive) but we kept going! We met hundreds of fans along the way and witnessed the amazing 50,000 person vigil in front of the King's mansion on the evening of August 15th.

So now we must make the documentary so stay tuned.

Also, if you were there please send your pictures, stories and memories to:
elvisroadtripdoc@yahoo.com.
Note: All of the images on our website (save for any of the King himself) have been sent to us by family, friends and other fans - or taken by one of the crew.

TCB!

DAY 8 - We hit the Hayride


Today we drove from East Tex to Shreveport and toured the hallowed halls of the Louisiana Hayride where Elvis made one of his legendary performances on November 7th, 1954. An auditorium with landmark status, you can find the Hayride on Elvis Presley Ave in Shreveport. We took in some local Cajun cuisine and hit the road for Mississippi, where we are tonight. Tomorrow it's off to Tupelo and you all best know what that means by now.


And, oh yeah. We went to a gator farm and hung out with some gators, llamas and a very small zebra. Good times.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES thus no vids or pics today. Hope to be back up with the multi-media tomorrow.

Well Ladies, quite the ride! Holy smokes! Erica, I love the hair in your picture, wicked! (hey, i'm from Bawston). It's amazing and yet understandable that so many people stil worship at his alter. There are so many kind of subcultures in this country, you're out living it and exposing us corporate drones to they ecletic and entertaining! THANK YOU!! I'm so glad I can be along for the ride!
Not to worry, I'll make sure to check in after a couple glasses of wine next time. It's when I'm at my self-perceived wittiest!
Lots of love!
