Is anyone else that's reading this, imagining he sounds like Arnold Schwarzanegger?

Or is it just me?

 

well you'd have to take a different route, but The Heavy Rebel Weekender is in Winston-Salem,NC july 1,2,and 3. Probably the biggest weekender on the entire East coast and your first point of origin is only 7 or so hours away. shoot straight across tenn to nc on I40. see the beautiful tenn/nc mountains and then spend a weekend full or rockabilly, car/bike show, and so on. to much for me to list here. www.heavyrebel.net should provide any info you need other than the Adams Mark is the closest hotel(1 block), but it's not the host hotel anymore. they do still have rooms available just a bit higher per night than in years past. if your going to be this close and looking for such then you shoul at least plan to come saturday for the day. thats when most stuff like car show and so on happens. you could still just jump on I85 in greensboro and head right to sunny fla...ken....

 

Don Garlits Museum in Florida off of 75 - check it out - its awesome

 

Ditto!

Also, there's Pensecola N.A.S. they have a great museum of planes n stuff, its also home of the Blue Angels, so you may see some flying.

Obviously you are planning on hitting Graceland & SUN Recording Studio in Memphis too

Memphis...

Graceland
Sun records
Beale street
The airport (don't remember the name) where they have Memphis Belle undergoing restoration
There's an old restaurant on the south side of downtown that's been there forever. Can't remember the name though.

 

july 3rd, culture room ft. lauderdale. rev. horton heat and those legendary shack shakers.

 

Come to Orlando and I'll beat your psychobilly *** with a dirty toilet brush, and give you a hair cut with hedge clippers.

 

Geez Nads,you seem to be in rare form this morning.LOL
T.OUT

 

In Memphis:

Graceland (world's longest-running funeral)
Sun Records
Beale Street
The Peabody Hotel
The Rendezvous (best ribs in the world)

Call Walker Radiator Works and ask for Vernon. See if there is any way you could check out his neon sign collection at his home in West Memphis. Worth the trip alone.

If your trip takes you through Chattanooga, TN stop in at Honest Charley's Speed Shop. You could then head south towards Marietta, GA and stop in at Hank Young's hot rod and chopper shop.

only 75 miles west of memphis on interstate 40 is the rocakabilly hall of fame and museum, that is in jackson, tennessee. there is a big festival there, also, but i am not sure when it is.

 

July 5th - The Van Orsdels(great miami psychobilly band) CD release party with headlining act Michale Graves(formerly of the Misfits) at Churchills Pub in miami.
