Elvis Invasion in the Desert

An Elvis invasion - Desert Dispatch

This Elvis Tribute Experience looks like a great event! . In fact it's a whole Elvis weekend experience and as the organizer says, just mention the name Elvis and you get everyone coming along.. Sounds good to me.

"Prezley said that although Friday's show is focused on the "die-hard" Elvis fans who travel far to see the King, Saturday will try to introduce a new generation to the Elvis experience. Kids can enter hula hoop competitions and a "Dress Like the King" competition on Saturday, Prezley said. Even pets can get into the action in a dress-your-petlike-Elvis competition. "

More on Elvis & Celine Dion Idol duet where one Elvis impersonator was used

Elvis lives, sings and seeks donations - Florida Times-Union

Interstin to read a little more about the Elvis and Celine Dion duet on idol.

Presley's performance of W. Earl Brown's If I Can Dream came from his 1968 TV comeback special. With Photoshop-like technology, the 39-year-old Presley footage was morphed with recently taped shots featuring 39-year-old Dion, as though it were taking place at the same time as the rest of Wednesday's show. An Idol spokesman said only that an Elvis impersonator was used "at one point."

Ron Johnstone, San Francisco says:

.. "I find it odd, that all of us who've seen The King never have our cameras with us. Alas, I'd left mine at home. Elvis has a bouffant."
