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 TEN - Sweet soul food and Graceland Too!

We left Tupelo this morning and stopped off in tiny little town of Holly Springs, Mississippi where we ate amazing soul food at Annie's Restaurant. IF YOU ARE EVER NEAR HOLLY SPRINGS YOU MUST EAT HERE! Even if you are in Tupelo or Memphis drive down to Annie's. It's the best fried chicken in the world. Check out the proprietress herself:




After that we wandered over to #1 Fan Paul Mcleod's famous Graceland Too, an Elvis Shrine of epic proportions. He gave us a tour, flirted a little, and even asked Kozue to marry him.

It was so much fun meeting you all at Annie's. The fried chicken is wonderful, but I hope you tried the okra, sweet potatoes, lima beans, cabbage, banana pudding, and chocolate cake, too. This is healthful soul food, not the greasy stuff that most places serve.

Where are you all?? You haven't succumbed to the extreme heat have you? Hope you are just too busy meeting the fans!

Ty, I think they have been well sucked into the Elvis Zone. They may not re-emerge until after the 16th.
