Viva Las Vegas 2005

Well this was my 4th Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender and well, if you been to one, you have been to them all. Every year, I get so excited about it and at the end, with tired feet, I vow that I'm never coming back and well I always do.

My highlight of this year was the Dave and Deke Combo Reunion, The Collins Kids, and the Rocketz, going to finally see the Elvis-o-rama museum and learning to play Craps. Dave and Deke were awesome. I always enjoy the Collins Kids. I know I can always see the Rocketz in L.A. but I so enjoy that band. I wish I payed the extra cash to see the Elvis Impersonation show at the Museum because I happened to see the "Young Elvis" walking around the museum and he was hot!

I thought the line up was lack luster and was disappointed that Ruth Brown fell ill and was unable to perform. Hopefully she is fully recovered. She is awesome! I'm also sad that I missed the Comets!

But thanks to the car show, I have decided that I want to learn how to pinstripe. If you know anyone that teaches, please leave a comment with their info!!

And of course, Charles Phoenix slide shows are a must to see!

As of April 05, I'm not going next year, but you just never know!
