On our way to the Virginia Beach Viva Elvis festival on Saturday it rained heavily, but around 4pm . . . a miracle. The clouds opened up and the Skydiving Kings fell from the sky.
Here is Elysia posing for an “I Want You . . . to be the King” poster. Sadly it won’t wind up at the Washington Navy Yard, where several years ago the Navy-Marine Corps Appellate Defense Division had an Elvis shrine and the JAG officers traded around a blue suede shoes doormat to those who prevailed in court. (It was good to be the King.)
After hanging out near a giant Elvis possibly related to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and listening to one tribute artist — one was enough for us — we headed to Beale Street BBQ for the tasty goodness of deep fried pickles.

I like the idea of the skydiving Elvis, but doesn’t their hair look a bit phony? I wonder if the real Elvis would have tried skydiving? Elvis was an unusual guy, though. You may know about the story of him approaching Richard Nixon about becoming a Federal agent, fighting the drug problem. http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/nixon-met-elvis/index.html
