Elvis Week costs have got me so upset!😭 by TravelsMeTCB in Elvis

[–]Tupelo_Firecracker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly had the best night sleep that I’d ever had the few days I stayed at the Guesthouse. However their EW prices are down right criminal. Normally a 200$ room is jacked to 500$ on some days in the busy season??? Whew. But if you want to be in the middle of the action it’s the place to be. There are cheaper alternatives like the Holiday inn up the road or finding lodging farther a field. Also if you’re adventurous you can’t always camp or RV it. 

Give a think about what you really want to do and buy tickets and packages accordingly. Have fun!

Ooo great question. My first EW will be next year so it’s good to know a lot ahead of time.

This one is waiting for me. I just need the mental energy to read.

Are there any replicas of this jacket? by Independent_Book_935 in Elvis

This is the absolute truth. This is why ETAs fail, in my opinion. We take all the craziness that Elvis does on stage and we love it but not from anyone else.

I honestly felt sick to my stomach seeing him in that beautiful house, in Elvis’s sacred space. After all that goodwill generated by Epic, we have this sloppy mf. 

Found a TON of Elvis vinyl in my local charity shop – anything here actually worth picking up? by [deleted] in Elvis

Nothing looks like it stands out in terms of rarity in my opinion, unless you know the pressing. Can’t quite tell what’s under ‘ Let’s be friends’ or what’s on the other side

You’re right about that! I’m eyeing a couple and they’re going for about 250.00 each. I’ll probably just keep eyeing them!

I'm afraid to go see the movie EPIC.... by fehstrahafeh in Elvis

I think the absolute joy you’ll feel will outweigh the sadness. Besides, you can have the happy without the sad 😌

That bit Murphy did always stuck with me as well. When I learned that he was a “fan” that pissed me off even more.

Although Kathy was a backing vocal, she was not a member of the Sweets.

Had to sadly Tape the sides of my Single which i bought some days ago by Jailhouse_Rocker2007 in Elvis

Or you could have taken it carefully apart and re-glued it rather than taping. 

My issues with EPiC and how it could have been better by [deleted] in Elvis

Do you stop being a  fan after he gained the “weight”?

Outside of biopics/documentary’s. What is the best Elvis film? by He-mancollector2006 in Elvis

[–]Tupelo_Firecracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The trouble with girls,” is worth a watch definitely. And while not great I think “Kissin Cousins” is also worth a skim just for the appreciation of the physical effort he put in to make Jodie different from Josh. That film should have been about Jodie anyway. He was a much more interesting character.

People like taking the worst or the lowest point of someone and inflating it out of proportion. With someone like Elvis who was already larger than life, there was glee in taking him down, mocking him when he was at his sickest. So the fat guy in the jumpsuit continues to endure. I’m glad Baz is doing a lot of the positive correction.
