ElvisElvis Cruise!

Some of you may already know, but many of you may not. So, I am excited to say that Sixthman is going to be hosting our first ever Elvis Cruise in the fall of 2009! Not only am I super excited because of the energy and responses that we have already received, but it’s the first team I’ve been apart of since I started here at Sixthman about a month ago.

We are still in the planning process, and we are actively seeking ways to make this event one of Sixthman’s best. I never thought I would know so much about the King! Here are just a few interesting things I’ve learned already:

– Elvis had a twin brother who died at birth.

- Elvis’ voice range was over 8 octaves.

- He was the first performer ever to perform via satellite.

- He was a Capricorn.

- His comic book hero was Captain Marvel.

- His favorite drink was Pepsi.

- His favorite toothpaste was Colgate.

- His favorite actors were James Dean, Marlon Brando and George C. Scott.

- His favorite games were Monopoly, Scrabble and Yahtzee.

- His favorite aftershave was Brut.

- His favorite animal was a tiger.

- Elvis gets his first guitar in 1946. It cost $12.95 at the Tupelo Hardware Store.

- Elvis was a black belt in karate.

- Elvis received 3 Grammys in the Gospel category.

- His favorite Pie was lemon meringue.

- Out of all the movies he did his favorite was King Creole.

- When Elvis was a truck driver he earned $1.25 an hour.

    Yes he did Warren! And I love him for it, because of him I get to eat an ice cream flavor called “Elvis Lives!” Banana ice cream with peanut butter swirl! This is a very good thing. I think I’ll eat some more today.

    Nice writing, thanks! Memphis still holds a special place in my heart, I spent some time in my twenties there and still remember visits to Graceland, Beale Street, and of course the blues clubs.
