Only in Memphis...

It's true that "the King" didn't die. You can walk out onto the street at any point during Elvis week in Memphis and see him alive and well... and his twin? Oh wait, there he is again! Oh yeah... it's Elvis week in Memphis! Our friend Josh invited Will and I to join him on a whim to check out the Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at the Cannon Center. We're not really Elvis fans by any means, but this was actually a lot of fun! I can't believe how serious people are about keeping the spirit and music of Elvis alive and well! The show we went to was one round of perhaps 4 to decide who will be this year's best Elvis Tribute Artist.We moved seats at intermission to get a little closer to the action and ended up beside some die-hard fans. This older couple were prepared with binoculars and score sheets! They were happy to pass their binoculars and point out little flaws in each performance- one guy had the wrong kind of scarf on... for shame! Hehe.
That white suit outfit was a popular one!

Glad we can finally say we did at least one Elvis-themed activity here in Memphis. :-)
