Elvis Costello live in Wilkesboro NC tonight!

[taterguy]

A) Did anyone ever think they'd see the day where Elvis played Wilkesboro? A town that I presume most of the Lounge has never heard of.

B) Is anyone here going? Probably not since the people going are probably already there and not browsing DU.

1. Really?

2. Yes, really

Part of Merlefest, a big festival put on by Doc Watson to honor his late son.

3. Oh, Merlefest

Now, I understand. That's wonderful. I wonder who got him to come down. :-) Wish I could be there but I don't know anyone in Wilkesboro.

edit: Hope you have a wonderful time. :-)

4. I'm 45 miles away and I don't know anyone in Wilkesboro

I've never been to Merlefest because I'm a bit crowd-phobic but I hear great things about it from people who go.

5. I used to know some folks

who took an RV up there every year. :D
