Here is a good place for a call to action.

What Did We Talk About? Elvis, of course!

by

We Talked About Elvis and Other Stuff

It was a busy night. The conversations included Elvis, Blue Suede Shoes, Jail House Rock, Las Vegas, … Elvis impersonators, Heartbreak Hotel, bingo, Elvis wall clocks, the Askimet monster, American Idol and House, … crayons and superheroes, Girl Scout cookies, Ricky Nelson, Cadillacs, Graceland, and … a marriage proposal while singing an Elvis song. Wow! You can read all about it in the comments section.

Here are the links we shared.

Joe was there (first again!). So were Char, Delaney, Marti, Robert, Monique, Douglas, Rick, cat, Tariq, Brooke, Renée, Francie, Terry, HART, Darren, Rodney, Glenda, GP, David, Sean, Sheila, Tony, Trevor, and of course Chris brought the Klondike Bars.

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation.

See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.

The Mic Is On: We’re Talking about Elvis!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re Shaking it Up, Talking About Elvis!

Elvis

We might also talk about

  • his movies
  • his songs
  • is he alive?
  • has he left the building?
  • were we born before he died?
  • Graceland
  • who is the new Elvis?
  • other rock stars

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link to share, if you have one.

Tornadoes were the star of the show until late, late, in the 300s. Then Cat and Rodney each told a compelling story about a wild fire. Beyond can you guess who was the one who woke up with a cat and new kittens? Who was the one who decided to help us name a new business>
