Welcome TO ELVIS WEEK...

Dear Fans,
Welcome to Memphis and Elvis Week 2009. We
appreciate you joining us here in Memphis from all around
the world to help celebrate Elvis’ amazing legacy.
This year’s celebration pays a special tribute to 1969, a
landmark year in Elvis’ career. Just coming off the success
of his 1968 television special, the following year proved to
be a breakthrough year in Elvis’ career with the American
Sound Studio recordings and his return to live performing
with the opening at the International Hotel.

We hope you enjoy the many great Elvis Week events planned for this year,
including some new events and old fan favorites. In addition, during your stay we
hope you have time to enjoy the various new exhibits at Graceland that opened
this year, including our new Elvis in Hollywood Exhibit, the Elvis Lives Exhibit,
Graceland 70th Anniversary Exhibit, Stable Tour and new additions to the car
museum, including Elvis’ John Deere tractor that has been fully-restored.
On behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises, we thank you for being here with us
and look forward to an exciting week.

Jack Soden
CEO
Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc .

anyone up for a road trip to Memphis? I adore Elvis but have never been to Graceland. I would imagine this would NOT be the week to do the big tour...

Cue singinchicken's story about Graceland.

August 10 is the 222nd day of the year. There are 143 days remaining until the end of the year.
The term 'the 10th of August' is widely used by historians as a shorthand for the Storming of the Tuileries Palace on the 10th of August, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1792"]1792[/ame], the effective end of the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Bourbon"]French monarchy[/ame] until it is [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_Restoration"]restored[/ame] in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1814"]1814[/ame].
Birthdate of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_of_Rome"]Saint Lawrence[/ame], deacon, martyr 258, patron saint of accountants, cooks, and local history

Thanks, wiki...

I think you must be right about that. Can you imagine what Graceland is going to be like today, on the anniversary of his death? Ooooh baby. It doesn't paint a pretty picture!

Awww, Lynnie. Thanks for filling in!

DD, you're back? Wahooo~~~~~~~~~~~

Confabitall!~

DD is fast asleep, but I will be so bold as to answer you for her.

FTLOC...where is swgb and what have you done with him?

DD I can't wait for another intelligent and insightful post about a day we should all enjoy to it's fullest.

Did you miss the most recent boil water notice? Or maybe you should be putting something in your water prior to drinking. Or perhaps the whole, Mars is going to be as big as the moon, that's driving you to temporary insanity. Or maybe the aliens have taken our real SWGB and left a droid in his place?!?

If someone knows who has taken SWGB please send us a ransom note or instructions on what steps we need to take to get him back here ASAP! This is whack.

We need to boil water? Dangitall, I am too late on that news! Oh well~~~~~~~

Today has shaped up quite nicely!
