All Shook Up as Elvis world record attempt fails!:

 

ELVIS Presley fans tried to break the world record for the biggest gathering of lookalikes — but failed when dozens arrived without a proper costume.

More than 170 wannabes turned up to sing Viva Las Vegas as part of the record bid. But 63 were banned for not dressing up enough. One man’s “costume” consisted of a pair of sunglasses. Others simply turned up in jeans and T-Shirts — with their hair combed into a quiff.

Organisers had hoped to gather more than 147 Elvises to beat the existing record — set by Australians in 2001. But Pauline Giles, who ran the event in The Ship Inn at Par, Cornwall, admitted only 110 were “up to scratch”.

She said: “It wouldn’t be right to claim we’ve broken the record.

“But it was great looking out of the pub and seeing dozens and dozens of people wandering down the road all dressed up as Elvis.”

For goodness sake, as if any of them could possibly look like Elvis anyway :rolleyes:

Cirque du Soleil Elvis show update:

 

Utah dancers, it's time to slip on your blue suede shoes. Cirque du Soleil, the international performance/circus troupe that has become known for its spectacular-sized productions such as "O" and "Mystère," is designing a new show around the music of Elvis Presley for next year. And renowned Utah choreographer Bonnie Story has been tapped to develop the show's dancing.

Consequently, Salt Lake City is one of four cities that will hold auditions for the show, which plans to hire at least two dozen dancers. Story was hired by theater, film and video choreographer/director Vincent Paterson, who is directing the Elvis show. She has known Paterson for some 20 years, since working as his assistant. "I just know his work, and I know his mind and his way, and he just trusts me," the choreographer said. "We're always on the same page. It¹s like we came from the same school. He¹ll throw out an idea or I¹ll say something, and it will not just be out of left field for him."

Story won an Emmy for her choreography for "High School Musical," and designed the dance sequences of other movies, including the "HSM" sequels and "The American Mall." Details about the production have been tightly held. The show, which will feature Elvis' music in much the same way The Beatles were featured in the Cirque show "Love," is scheduled to premiere in November 2009 at the new CityCenter Resort-Casino in Las Vegas.

"The creative combination of live musicians and singers, projections, dance and the latest in multimedia sound and lighting technology are stimulating and aim at offering an emotional bond with the audience," according to a statement by CKX Inc., the entertainment company producing the show. "The show will bring Elvis back to Las Vegas for millions of his existing fans and create a buzz that will enable the persona of Elvis to reach untold numbers of new fans."

Holding Utah tryouts alongside auditions in New York City, Los Angeles and Las Vegas is an acknowledgment of the state's growing reputation for talented dancers from the "HSM" movies and reality TV shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With the Stars."

"I told Cirque, 'If you guys want to see some major talent, come to Salt Lake,' Story said. "The kids are dedicated. Kids from Utah will want to be in it. They're incredibly trained. Utah is getting such a great reputation now. And it wasn¹t hard. They kind of just trusted me."

In fact, Paterson was in town earlier this month for a workshop with Story for the show, "and he offered five contracts on the spot after we got through," she said.

Story said she's looking for "advanced, very versatile, athletic" dancers for the production, which will offer performers a two-year contract.

"It's a show that people from Utah can be very proud to be in ," she said. "It will be a family show. Whoever comes, they do need to be ready for a very technical audition."

Graceland III

 

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/1Graceland.jpg

 

About seven years ago now, Super Elvis Fans, Cindy & Tom Sanocki along with their son Tom Jr moved into their Graceland style home they had built in the Chicago area. The FECC Forum now shows a few pictures of their home, “Graceland III”. As you can see, the design is just the same. It should be noted, the interior of the Sanocki home when compared to the Graceland layout, is a completely different design. But anyone can't deny, the exterior is something some of us dream or would like to have as our own. Another “Graceland” sold earlier this year, in the Mississippi area for 550.000 $US.

 

This is Graceland II ;)

Take a virtual ride in Elvis's Mercedes :dance:

 

Up for auction on eBay is Elvis's own Limo Mercedes... But the fun part of it, is the chance to take a "virtual ride" in the car, bly clicking the link far below. From the eBay posting: This is definitely a piece of Rolling Art probably better described as Rock and Rolling Art. Elvis purchased this car and titled it in his name. One of the very few cars that were ever titled and registered in his name. This is the one with the famous “Lightning Bolt” in gold leaf with TCB logo on both front doors. I have copies of the original bill of sale, Elvis’s registration card, the Retail Delivery Statement from Mercedes, the title and the finance contract..Yes.The “King” financed this car placing $5500.00 down payment and 36 payments of $344.44 per month. Amazing! I also have a copy of a great photo of Elvis in a tuxedo getting into the Mercedes.

 

THE OWNER intends to sell this vehicle and is a serious seller. This will probably be proven to be the Best Investment of the Century for the successful bidder. Not only an investment but a joy to drive. IThe year before last the owner took his 102 year old mother out for the day and drove it on the Interstate. It runs better, quicker and smoother than any Rolls Royce. This vehicle will attract hordes of people making it a great instrument for promotions, advertising, public relations or fund raising.

 

Recently over $36,000 was spent covering the brake systems, the air suspension, a new exhaust system, the air conditioning, a new drive shaft, hoses, belts and full servicing plus a totally rebuilt steering box. It is a pleasure to drive.It shows only 59,644 miles which are believed to be correct.

Madison Square Garden concert released as DVD "The 1972 New York Experience":

 

The all new label Phoenix XP Production announces their very first release: The 1972 New York Experience. It runs 180 minutes and features footage from all four Elvis concerts at Madison Square Garden.

- The complete Saturday afternoon show for the first time on DVD

- The complete press conference in single or multiple screen

- Slide show with many rare and unseen pictures

- And so much more...

EIN notes that of course the concert is the home-video footage that most serious Elvis fans have seen before but Phoenix XP Productions promise a total upgrade and improvement to what we already have. Comparing their advertised images it appears that the footage unfortunately hasn't been taken from the original 8mm film - and looks remarkably like what has been issued on bootlegs in the past. But please check the trailers for yourself

However they do have a very detailed website and we like the banner "They didn't do it so we had to do it."

C'mon Warners/EPE! While these alternate versions sell you are missing the marketing opportunity for the official Extended 'On Tour' DVD.

 

The publicity says, "See the Garden concerts as you have never seen them before" Go here for all the info & samples

Fingerprints for sale (Update)

 

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/fingerprints.jpg

 

From the auction catalogue: Elvis Presley Fingerprints The only record of Elvis Presley's fingerprints that are known to exist. Elvis Presley in applying for a gun permit for a concealed weapon was asked for full sets of his fingerprints as well as other personal information. The details of which make up the State of California file copy where he records his driving license and social security numbers, his residential and his business address. The application notes that Elvis is applying for a concealed weapon permit for his Colt revolver 38 as well as a Berette(sic) Automatic 7.6 . The document has been stamped Oct 30 1970 and is signed on the reverse side by the applicant, where he also includes details of his sex hair and eye colour, height, weight, and date of birth and full sets of prints for both left and right digits. It is well know that Elvis would never leave the house without the protection of a weapon, he was even known to carry a small derringer in his boot whilst on stage. To obtain a fire arm he would have had to apply for a license in every state that he travelled through. In normal circumstances these written licenses and full set of fingerprints would be filed until the owner died at the local sheriffs office and after death of the licensee would be shredded. Somehow this perfect set escaped the shredder as a testimony to one of Elvis Presley's favourite pastimes, collecting weapons .Over the past 15 years over 300 of his hand guns and rifles have come to auction in the USA. Estimate GBP50,000-75,000 USD100000-150000

 

The item was sold for $81,740 / € 57.291
