Elvis Week 2002


June Moore
Danny McCorkle and his wife can be found making a list of all the people that want to go up and sing on stage, they will handle the sound and the music. There are so many entertainers waiting for their chance that often everything is still running full steam at 1-2 in the morning!

If you want to see some of the very best ETA's in the business then you will want to head over to Jamie Coyne's contest at the Airport Inn on Brooks Rd, August 11-14 starting at one and running until 5, after that then wonder over to the Holiday Inn Select on Airport Rd. That's where the world competition is taking place at the Images of the King contest; starting every night at 6 PM-Aug. 11-17th

With so many Elvis Tribute Artists in Memphis during this time, there is no lack of music to be found anywhere. Most hotel lobbies will have ETA's hanging around talking with fans, friends, and others who share the same profession. More often then not, you can find a small "jam" session taking place somewhere! It truly is a week of entertainment wherever you go.

For all of those that are going to try to attend every function they can, Elvis Presley Enterprises has set up a good list of happenings that are sponsored by them. Interviews, dances, modeling shows, and auctions- you name it. The main website is also running daily reports on happenings, complete with pictures of the days events. They will also run the candlelight vigil live via internet.

In closing, myself as well as millions of others would love to be part of the Memphis scene during this time, but obviously it just isn't possible for everyone to be there. So I guess we will have to wait until our good friend June Moore comes back with all her tales and stories from her visit this week. Make sure you check out her Elvis site on suite101 to hear about all the things we missed!!!!

Maybe I'll catch some of you there next year!
Until then, TCE, Melody
