Not much exciting to report today...besides playing basketball at the backlot of hotel in searing heat (100+ farenheit) versus Emcee Ronny Craig and Ken Yuvienco, a Filipino Elvis with true three point range.
I saw Elvis, Jr. smoking a cigarette while using a hotel computer, despite the posted NO SMOKING signs all over the computer area.
Occasionally people stop talking about Elvis to discuss Jonbenet case.
Last night, about 1:30am, they announced the thirty or so finalists. The ballroom closed, and everyone migrated down the hallway, beers in hand (Old Milwaukee), to a first floor alcove where they set up a karaoke sound system and continued impersonating Elvis for a few more hours.
One early favorite to win it all is Kjell, a performer from Norway who has reportedly spent $50,000 for multiple plastic surgeries in order to look more like Elvis. Was it worth the cash (not to mention the pain of the knife)? Judge for yourself.
I don't know about the $50,000 face, but he sures sounds excatly like the real King!
