SURFIN' WITH THE KING-ELVIS BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY

In early 1957, singer Elvis Presley is riding a wave of popularity with the Leiber & Stoller-penned song "Jailhouse Rock" written for an Elvis movie of the same name. The title song soon reaches #1 on the Billboard charts. January 6, 1957, Elvis Presley sings five songs in his third and final performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Elvis, who was filmed only from the waist up, is endorsed by Mr. Sullivan, "I wanted to say this is a real decent, fine boy." Elvis reports later "I didn't do anything but just jiggle."

Saturday, January 6, 2007, fifty years after his Ed Sullivan Show appearance, "Surfin' with The King," ,”a dance party held in celebration of Elvis' 72nd Birthday, will take place from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM at Chick Hall's Surf Club, DC's "last honky tonk inside the Beltway." Enjoy a swingin' evening of surf guitar-injected tunes by Reverb Galaxy followed by Elvis favorites performed by The Hula Monsters, known for their wide-ranging repertoire of Hawaiian swing, rockabilly, jazz and country music.

Diehard fans, old school and hodads alike are invited to pay homage to The King by dressing to compete in the "2nd Annual 'Elvis way' Contest." Prizes will be awarded for the ³"Most Elvis Man" and "Most Elvis Woman." 'Elvis Way' 2006 winners, "The Raj" and Bladensburg's own "El Vez," could return to defend their titles, so suit up to wipe out the competition!
The Surf Club will offer Mai Tais mixed according to a recipe made famous by local Mai Tai Master David Chan, former owner of Alexandria's Honolulu Restaurant. Guests will win prizes for correctly answering trivia questions about Elvis, and can enjoy a piece of The King's birthday cake. "Surfin' with The King" starts at 8:00 PM, admission is $15 at the door. The event is open to the public, and wheelchair accessible.

# # # Chick Hall's Surf Club In the mid-1950's "The Surf Club" was one of several bars in Prince George's County, Maryland to book "Rockabilly" music deemed too raucous for the quieter clubs of downtown Washington. Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves and Lefty Frizzell were among some of the country music greats and legends-in-the-making who have performed there.

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE KING!
