Elvis: He's Alive And He's In Aurora

[NOTE: This show is on Friday 1/9/2009. A previous version of this post claimed it was on Saturday. I'm all shook up.]

Get ready for a hunk-a hunk-a burnin' love to fall right into your lap this Friday evening at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Aurora, where there will be not one, not two, but three Elvises! (Elvii?)

Although Thursday (Jan. 8) is Elvis' birthday proper, the Paramount is hosting a birthday show on the 9th featuring world renowned Elvis tribute artist (please, PLEASE don't call him an 'impersonator') Shawn Klush. This guy really is the Closest Thing To The King. Mrs. Voice and I have seen him three times, most recently in October at the Arcada. It was at that show that Mrs. Voice received one of them there red silk scarves after running up to the stage and making out with him during a song. But I'm not bitter. (Although I've had a Suspicious Mind ever since...)

Two additional Hound Dogs also will be appearing with Shawn on Saturday, but I've never seen them so I won't go on about it.

If you go, please come back and share your thoughts with us in the comments. And take lots of pictures, I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate user photos in the Voice.
