Since we live here in the Memphis area, we just HAD to experience a part of Elvis Week at least once. Tonight Craig and I, along with our friends Greg and Jen, went to the annual Elvis candlelight vigil at Graceland. What a cool experience! There were hundreds of people gathered to honor "The King". I must say that Elvis fans have their own unique 'look' to them.
There was a 2 hour wait in line just to get to the front gates for those who wanted to walk up to the graveside with their candles. The walk up the drive and back down was another hour. We chose to skip the line and just light our candles from the many homemade shrines that people set up in the streets. Greg shared his plethera of Elvis knowlege with us as we walked around. Fun night!

you guys are so funny to do that! But how interesting and how fun to go with the Harmers. How does Greg remember everything he reads? seriously amazing guy! Glad you had a fun evening out!
I was sure hoping to see a picture of Craig dressed up like Elvis - hair and all. I think he definitely could've pulled it off. I'm sure "the king" appreciated his efforts to attend nonetheless. =)
How fun. I totally have to experience that before I leave her one day. I think it's cool that you get out and experience Memphis so much like you do.
That is so funny! You guys are awesome!! These are the kinds of memories you cherish!!
