Hello, everyone!
It's January 9th today in Memphis, the next day after the birthday of Elvis Presley. Hope both those who are Elvis fans and those who are not Elvis fans are doing very well.
There was a countdown for the January 8th. It was very chilly and windy midnight, but approximately 70 fans got together infront of the Graceland gates. Our Jamie was there and sang Happy Birthday To Elvis and several gospel songs together with the crowd. This countdown is not an official event, but it's very impressive.
Then in the morning of January 8th, there was an official birthday ceremony outside of the mansion under a clear blue sky. It was also impressive to me. A service by the US military, speeches by Jack Soden (President of EPE), Mayor of the City of Memphis, and so on. Honor to have a chance to talk Jack Soden (and picture, too).
Until today, I also enjoyed the "Elvis Pops Concert," "Elvis Insiders Reception and Graceland Tour," etc. I met Elvis at the Meditation Garden. It was after 28 years since my first visit to Graceland in 1979. (Elvis is always in my prayers.) And of course, I have spent wonderful days with the Kelley's (Jamie, Larry and Toni) in Memphis. Also met wonderful Elvis fans, including Yoko Higa.
Sugiko san, tomoko san, and the FC member who are coming to the New Year Get Together on 13th: Jamie handed in me something nice for you for the 13th get together. See you soon.
Happy Birthday to Elvis Happy New Year to All

[1914] tomoko > 史子さん、レポートありがとうございます! 私もいつか1月8日のグレースランドに行ってみたいです。 ジェイミーからのお土産(?)楽しみです〜〜。 そういえば、ラブテン メンフィス店にもいかれたのですよね。ジェイミーが店員さんをやってくれたとか。ジェイミーがモデルになって商品を着ていれば、バカ売れでしょうね!
13日楽しみです♪ (2007年01月11日 (木) 15時29分)
