It's really sad to see the ELVIS-A-RAMA going going g-o-n-e, however
the place never really recovered after the smash n' grab robbery from
two years ago .... and the location [Industrial Road is sooooo HO-
tastic due to all the Strip Clubs now, the ELVIS-A-RAMA deserves to
be in a better location that has shops / cafes around it like the
LIBERACE MUSEUM has] ....

3401 Industrial Rd.

It may be a good idea to expand outside of Rockabilly when it comes to
promoting shows in Las Vegas [all the scenes are so small + petty out
here it's no wonder clubs and venues disappear OR bands decide to skip
playing Las Vegas on their tour whenever there is a promotor
problem] ....

I applaud Peter's efforts out here [I attended his Saturday Night show
@ the BUNKHOUSE during VIVA] and encourage ANYONE else who is willing
to promote shows out here [in various scenes] so long as you don't end
up like that arse Gary "look ma I gots a toupe" .....

future postings online coming soon now that I'm back from the UK ~
