Aloha to the King of Rock and Roll

It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years ago today that Elvis said “aloha” to this life.  In the time since his passing, his legacy has only grown.  You can celebrate the culmination of Elvis Week in Memphis by going to www.elvisweek.com where you can sign the virtual wall and watch events as they are going on.

If you’d prefer a more foodie approach to celebrate The King, Reese’s has what you’re looking for.  Reese’s Peanut Butter & Banana Creme Cups featuring Elvis Presley are available through December 2007 in standard, miniatures and “The King” sizes at grocery, drug and convenience stores nationwide. With the Reese’s Elvis “Live Like the King” promotion, Elvis fans can instantly win one of more than 10,000 prizes, including a trip to Graceland in Memphis, a scarf owned by Elvis Presley, Elvis sunglasses, Elvis license plates and more.

If you’d like to get your visual fill of The King, go to this link of Elvis oriented programming.

A hui hou Elvis, a hui hou.

For the keiki…

If you are looking for some free coloring pages with a Hawaii theme for your keiki (kids), I found a great little page by Hawaii children’s book author, Tammy Yee.  Just click on the link and print out whichever image you’d like.

(By the way readers, if you haven’t picked up crayons in a while, it’s one of the best stress relievers out there.  Laugh all you want but it’s cheaper than therapy or a breakdown, yeah?)

New “Events” Calendar

Filed Under FYI | Leave a Comment

Okay, we’re gonna give this a try.  If you run your cursor over the top of the light green squares of the calendar on the sidebar, you’ll find Hawaii related TV programming and at what time on “Mainland TV.”  (Mainland TV being Food Network, Travel Channel, etc.  This will not list Hawaii programming on Oceanic Cable.  You’ll need to check local listings as times are EST just to have some sense of consistency)  

This is separate from the Current Events and Upcoming Events.  It’s a way for those who don’t live in the islands to get their “Hawaii fix” and for locals to see their home town ohana on the small screen.

I will try to keep this current as time permits but right now it goes through the first week of September.  Enjoy!
