... the driver so that it films while we drive through various sections of the globe and landscapes. I'm pretty stoked to see how his pictures and videos turn out at the end. He's good and angles and really likes the B&amp;W that comes from so many pictures like I do. He got some sick ones from when I was dancing with Felix with the sun in the background through some trees. Ryan, stealing allll of those when I get back to Delaware.<br><br>.<br>

... trying to navigate our way from Houston to Washington DC. We've tried to mix with the locals as much as possible along the way, which has been interesting. More trouble than it's worth for the most part. For instance, I have been accused of stealing credit cards, pretty ironic when I think of how much money has been nicked from me on this trip and had drinks with someone who turned out to be nothing more than a complete racist ...

Memphis baby, Memphis! From Hot Springs to Elvis, we arrived in Memphis and headed straight to Graceland, the home of the King. Graceland is a large sprawling home on a large estate just outside of Memphis where Elivs lived, died and is now buried. For all those who are concerned about his descendants wealth do not be alarmed. They make a mint charging people into Graceland (if ...

today was a day of visiting museums, first the Stax museum. The stax was a studio which recorded in the 50s - 60s, Issac Hayes recorded Shaft and Otis Redding recorded On the Dock of the Bay. Eretha Franklin also recorded here and was born in Memphis. Saw Sun studios where Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins recorded. The very first rock and roll song was recorded in Memphis by Sam ...

... a noisy tour for 3 hours. We had supper at BB Kings blues club on Beale St I had the soul platter barbecue ribs,fried pickles, and potato skins, Susie had mac and cheese, Baked beans, and green veggies. After dinner we saw a beale st flpper, a kid doing flips, and some blues bands

... I wanted to go see the Casey Jones house and tourist trap in Jackson, TN. The GPS took us through some beautiful country side to I-40 then to Jackson. The list time we had been there was to avoid a thunderstorm so I did not get any pictures. This time wasn&#8217;t much better. The steam locomotive I wanted to photograph had been moved from the front of the museum to the back and fenced in such a way that it was impossible to get a good ...

... Interpol arrested him two months after the shooting. Afterwards, we rode around to see some of the notable sites: · Sun Studio, where Johnny Cash, B. B. King , Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Elvis cut their first records · the Victorian Village with elaborate houses, dating back to the mid 1800's · the Pyramid arena · the horse carts in front of The Peabody Hotel · Beale Street, Danny Thomas Blvd., and Elvis Presley Blvd On the ...

... carpet, and climb into the fountain, where they remain all day. That's right, ducks. Not 'ducks' as in something called ducks but in reality a completely different, non water-based being, but actual ducks! And it was quite the crowd puller. All these people taking photographs as the ducks walked out, it was like they were being papped! Had a quick look at the statue of Elvis and the Orpheum Theatre but there were a large (-r ...

... one deadline for the end of June or possibly the beginning of June as one of out collaborators is leaving for good and we need his equipment. Hopefully this also means getting a publication out of the data. But I will keep you posted on that. On the social front, I am enjoying Memphis more and more. It is a very different place, compared to the rest of the US. Southern hospitality is without a doubt exceptional. I only realised how much more laid back people are over here ...

... people waiting to sell you a ticket. It is obvious, that they are very organized. Once you get a ticket, you are given a time to go across the street. If it is busy and you have a long wait, you can go to the museums on the same side of the street to keep you occupied. There is a short line to get on the shuttle to go across the street and see the house. Once you are let out in front of the house, there is a guide that welcomes you and gives you the audio tour ...
