I've been hesitant to write the final blog post in the festival because doing so would acknowledge that it's over. But all things must pass. And if you gotta go out, go out with a blowout: the closing night party concluded with a massive electricity blackout at the Lido and surrounding area. Since the party people had their own power supply, though, everybody kept on dancing in the (near) dark.

Every Wednesday night this month at the venue is Elvis-themed, and the entertainment tonight comes from Long Beach's Crown City Bombers, an Elvis Presley--and others, their MySpace ha
Yes, you read that right. There's an Elvis John Deere tractor. Beginning last Friday, a recently restored tractor used by Elvis at Graceland and at his ranch is on display at the King's car museum across the street from Graceland. Why is this important, you ask? Two reasons. 1. Elvis is the king of rock 'n' roll. and 2. It's a slow news day.
