Long Live The King.

This article announces that Elvis Presley's former U.S. Army buddy Simon Vega will be hosting the biannual Elvis Festival at his Lee Fresnos home in Austin, Texas to commemorate Elvis' August 16, 1977 death. Though it is the smaller of the two parties Vega throws each year for his late friend, it is no less of an event, with a handful of crooning impersonators jumbled in with the hundreds of out-of-towners who come to peruse the portraits and records and other Elvis memorabilia so lovingly displayed.
