GWXV photos: Saturday night in Memphis











The Joes contemplate their tasty beverages.






Christopher and Joe R study the menus embedded in the tables at Rendezvous Ribs.






Scott, enjoying the festivities.











Mark shows off his collection of Civil War-era weaponry, barbecue sauce and napkin dispensers.






Amorak takes a narcissi-photo to prove he was there.







No, that isn't Scott. (Too much hair.) I didn't get a shot of the "biggest ass beer" place across the street. Shouldn't all these places hyphenate big-ass beer? Just to avoid confusion?






Yup, it really is called Beale Street.






Why did all the carriages have dogs?

GWXV photos: We went to Graceland

The Fab Four in front of The King's mansion.

Christopher, shopping for a new suit.

Mark, taller than Elvis.


I don't know why there's no picture of Joe A in front of the gold suit.

We thought Junior here should see his final resting place.


Mirrors on the ceiling, pink Champagne on ice ...


A personal note to us from Elvis himself.

Joe A and Amorak in the gift shop. One of the many gift shops, that is.

GWXV photos: Inside the townhouse

Whoever decorated this place seems to have done their shopping "Supermarket Sweep" style at a Pier One clearance sale.

Everyone's favorite wall-hangings ... nice mouth, mask on the right.

Sweet four-poster bed, fellas.
