Graceland Too
Now Graceland was interesting and over the top in the "big budget" way, but have you heard of "Graceland Too" in Holly Springs, MIssissippi? QUITE another thing...
Paul McLeod is the obsessed collector, houser and tour guide of this mad Elvisness which absolutely owns his home. First of all, this man can talk and hold your attention with machine-gun rate word-flow, and if he can't verbally garner your attention, he'll grab an arm or slap his chest. He shows pictures of himself and his family resembling various states of Elvisness (he himself resembling Elvis Presley in his youth with varying array of sideburns, his son who resembles Elvis as a kid and later in life, and his ex-wife who resembles Priscilla Presley). All kinds of Elvis or Elvis-related collectibles and things that weren't collectible, yet became so after he amassed so much of it...really; you name it, he's probably got several hundred...There are large, black opaque plastic chests stacked high in each and every room, and you have to noodle your way around them as he shows you stuff and more stuff.
He'll describe how much Coke he drinks on a daily basis and how similar it is to viagra. He'll talk about the future of his home, the backyard prison (complete with a colander-topped slightly functional electric chair), and his pink Cadillac. He'll describe how much his stuff is worth, how much he's been offered for it, and that he's turned down every single offer. He'll describe all the magazines, newspapers and TV shows he's been on. ETC., Etc., etc.
We were lucky to show up on his doorstep at the same time as a car-load of four others at about 8 pm. The six of us were able to diffuse his energy amongst us. After about 1.5 hours there, our brains were full and were starting to hurt. Luckily, a church group of about a dozen teens showed up about then, and we ducked out; shaking hands, taking farewell photos, and signing ledgers.
Tours are available 24/7; you just have to knock louder the later it is (really).
We couldn't find an official website, but here is one that's high on the google search: here

Seems I've been recycled!
Har, you know that "get a random wikipedia entry, random explore photo and random quote make an album cover" meme?
Every time I look in the mirror with these things I'm not sure if I like them or need to shave them off immediately. Either way, I gotta keep them until our time with Grateful Clem and cutiger ends because I did it for them.

The New York City Beard and Moustache Championships is today! I'll see you there if it hasn't sold out.
Yesterday, I found out what the prizes are for winning in the various categories of the World Beard and Moustache Competition...
From a document entitled, "Final Briefing for Contestants"--
"...the organizers have commissioned the making of special prizes which will depict the WBMC and the category, and are typically 'British'. They are very unique and we are sure they will be highly valued by the winners."
Any clue on what these prizes could be?

Camping is good for the hair.
Today, leaving at 6.30 am to try and drive 900 miles from Austin, Tx, to Tucson, Az. I hope we don't kill each other.
Check out our The Blog is slightly out of date, but awesome nonetheless!!
