I'm planning on spending a week in Memphis and need a place to stay. Plan on seeing Graceland and Sun Studio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an Elvis impersonator in a band called Chainsaw Maniac Elvis. It was basically a strict Elvis impersonation, only I carried a chainsaw and wore a hockey mask. Also, I worked for a man who dressed like a robot for a living. My job was to stand next to him dressed as a mad scientist and pretend to control him. We mostly worked car shows.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many stories of my time as a taxi driver. I also have some impressive yo yo skills. In the seventh grade I was a Duncan pro.
