520 Etc.: Cocktails at the KMA: Rock n Roll!

rock_rollad1.jpg

This is it! The third and last of our "sex, drugs, rock n roll" themed Cocktails at the KMA. We had burlesque dancers for "sex," vintage movies of celebrities off-kilter for "drugs," and appropriately we've got The King for "rock n roll." Come out this Wednesday (the 21st) at 6 to have some fun at the Knoxville Museum of Art.

I don't know what the rules are in the world of Elvis impersonators, so I don't know if I supposed to tell you his name. The first time I talked to him, he quickly told me he was "the number three Elvis in the world," then went through his lengthy list of live, TV and film appearances. So if you're the #3 Elvis is the world, does that mean that Elvis Presley is #1, someone else is #2, then you are #3? Or does Elvis not count, making there TWO people that are better than you? I'm going to have to subtly ask our Elvis on Wednesday.

For those of you who were at the previous "Addicted" night, you might remember me announcing that we were going to have a step show from an African-American fraternity. Well, the best laid plans of mice and KMA planners often go awry. We weren't able to confirm any of the frats, so went with our back pocket plan of Elvis #3.

We're doing this in a room other than the Great Ballroom, I think it's called the Not-So-Great Ballroom. But we wanted something smaller and more intimate, 'cause that's what The King deserves. Still with the food and drinks (this is about the cocktails, natch), so come on down to our last Cocktails this Wednesday at 6, at least for a while.

Many many thanks to our friends at the KMA for having some fun with us (David, Angela, Frank, Matthew, etc), and thanks to Michele, Shayne, Chad and Sara for helping put together the three-part series. I like to think that we've done something new and interesting, raising the awareness of the KMA, but we'll let everyone that has come out decide that.
