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!

T-Minus 2 Days



As it's getting closer to our departure date (that would be Thursday, Aug. 2), we're feeling the time crunch - going over all of the last minute details, packing lists, supply lists, confirming and reconfirming interviews and reservations...But we're also feeling pretty well prepared for this great adventure, thanks in no small part to the friendly strangers we've arranged to meet along the way. People like Bill Kinard in Tupelo.

Bill and his wife, Linda, have not only agreed to spend the entire day of Aug. 11 with us, showing us the Elvis Fans Memorial Wall and Cemetary and introducing us to numerous Elvis relatives and "connections", they also are going to have a mobile mini-Graceland traveling museum at their property the day of our visit!

Granted, the mini-Graceland is not being installed just because we're coming through (Aug. 11 if Fan Appreciation Day in Tupelo), but still! Bill also hinted that we'll be meeting someone who recently discovered he's an "Elvis Son" (Bill's quotes, not mine)...stay tuned for more on that one.
