On Monday, August 16, exactly 33 years to the day since Elvis retreated to his Memphis mansion bathroom - and never returned, the Official Bad Art Museum of Art and Café Racer will be having an evening of memorial tribute to Elvis, the Man and the Memory.
The celebration will include screenings of specially selected Elvis film footage on Café Racer’s “indoor drive-in” screen and Hi-Def widescreen bar TV, Elvis music on the sound system, Elvis prizes for Best Costume, Elvis cocktail specials, and of course, Elvis food, including peanut butter and banana sandwiches! Elvis himself may show up, since he’s always welcome back to Seattle.
WHAT: Elvis Death Day Memorial Celebration
WHERE: Official Bad Art Museum of Art and Café Racer, 5828 Roosevelt Way NE in Seattle
WHEN: Monday, August 16th, 7pm
Meet Elvis book author Gillian G. Gaar, author of “Return of the King” Elvis Presley’s Great Comeback”. Gillian will be on hand to read from her book and sign copies.
Wednesday August 4th is the birthday of President Obama, and because Obama is a native of Honolulu, Hawaii, and because we at O.B.A.M.A. are looking for an excuse to have a party, and celebrate the Hawaiian and Tiki Culture, we’re having a Luau inspired party to celebrate OBAMA! Wear a muu-muu or Aloha shirt, have a fruity cocktail, get lei’d!
If you missed the opening, don’t worry, you can drop by anytime to the Official Bad Art Museum of Art at Cafe Racer because it’s now open from 7am until 2am, 7 days a week. Stop by for lunch or dinner or a cold one after work and view the stupendous art. • Video by Marlow •
