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!

Busy Day!


So, lots of little things have been happening here in Honk if You Heart Elvis land.

Most exciting, perhaps, is the fact that we finally worked out a way to paint the Cadillac pink! Thanks to a hot tip about buying our own car paint, we were able to pick out just the right shade of bubblegum pink from El Monte Auto Paint. The guys at EMAP were very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about our project and understood we're working this with a tight budget. We picked up the pink today (and white vinyl paint for the top - this is going to be a two-tone job!) and will be taking the car in to Earl Scheib early Monday morning...fingers crossed the guys at Earl Scheib are as professional and considerate at the gang at El Monte!

We also went to pick up our swanky new business cards at Charlie Chan Printers in Hollywood. They had the best price and quickest service for 1000 cards - unfortunately, though, the cards say "Honk if Your Elvis". Undoubtedly that phrase would get a reaction, too, but since we're not looking for those rare birds that think they are Elvis, Bubba-Ho Tep like, we asked Charlie Chan to reprint. They promised to have the right cards ready for us tomorrow afternoon.
