Honk if You ♥ Elvis: DAY NINE - Mississippi Del...ta-dah!

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 NINE - Mississippi Del...ta-dah!

Another great day on the road next to the river. We talked to a mess of nice people in Vicsburg and then went on up to Leland to eat soul food and hear some real soul singin' by the great owners of Nesia-Rae's diner. We heart smothered chicken.

Tonight we're in Tupelo and tomorrow is fan appreciation day at the birthplace of the King. That's right, after it all we finally made it to where he was born!
Elvis week is going to be quite a ride!
