Which draws a stranger crowd: Viva Elvis at the Oceanfront or the Monster Truck Weekend????

Amy and I started the day with our normal stop at Starbuck's. We then were treated to a photo op with ex-HPT employee, current Policewoman, Dionne. (If I've mispelled her name, please let me know and I'll change it). The nice policeman with her gave Amy a "Junior Policeman" sticker, which she is sporting. We enjoyed seeing all of the people dressed up as Elvis. The guy posing with Amy had won the "recliner race". These Elvis impersonators each bring a uniquely decorated Barco-lounger mounted on wheels and race in it on the boardwalk. Too bad I missed it, but at least I met one of the competitors! At 5:00 they will have Elvis impersonators jumping out of an airplane, landing at the oceanfront. I am sorry we'll miss this, but we are both wiped out. We ended out morning jaunt with our typical lunch at Terra Nova, and I was shocked to see Mena Suvari, the gorgeous actress from American Beauty, in the table next to ours. I kept thinking the young girl in the restaurant looked just like "that actress". When I turned up my radar, I heard sound bytes like, "my house", "my lawyer", "100,000", "L.A.", and so on. When I asked the staff, they confirmed that she has relatives in the area and likes to come to TN and be inconspicuous. This is why I offer no photo of her with Amy.
