Can you imagine a time when Elvis was not famous just yet and people kinda ignored him?
Of course we know he wasn't famous his whole life but it's so impressive knowing about a time when people saw him face to face and couldn't care less. I invite you on reading about a few of these moments. There's my personal written in here and also - properly credited - info and text from the website Elvis Australia and Mr. Alfred Wertheimer's accounts on moments shared side by side to Elvis in 1956. Here we go!
"Those are words the King probably never had to use again. But on this train ride to Memphis from New York, the two young woman didn't believe who he was. So Elvis pointed to Alfred Wertheimer, and asked the girls why he'd have a photographer taking his picture on a train if he wasn't Elvis Presley. Good point! The girls then seemed to believe him, but still turned down an invitation to his concert at Memphis' Russwood Station July 4th 1956. This photo is either july 3 or July 4, 1956."
Text from: https://www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/1956-july-3.html | Recollections by photographer Alfred Wertheimer.
July 4th, 1956 - Elvis during a stop at Sheffield Alabama. Elvis ordered chicken and snack cakes - Photo by Alfred Wertheimer.
What a shot! Elvis is looking at the camera, everyone else is looking at the food. No one is paying any attention to Elvis! Guess the folks didn't know they were buying chicken a la king.
Text from: https://www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/1956-july-3.html
July 4, 1956 - Elvis at Chattanooga train station. This is (most certainly) the moment we talk about below.
Another example Mr. Wertheimer mentioned on being around Elvis and how he was still not quite famous yet by mid 1956, which may bothered him someway - or at least kept him anxious, hopeful and working hard to achieve his goals, is this:
Q: What was your relationship with Elvis like?
Alfred: I used him and he used me in a symbiotic way. You see, he was almost at the point where he was being recognized as a national star, but not quite. I'll give you an example.
Once, in a railroad station in Chattanooga, Tennessee, we were waiting to change trains. Elvis went over to a magazine rack and picked up a movie magazine. He found a photo of himself inside and says to me 'Al, can I have a pen?' I gave him one and he scribbled his name inside the magazine. Then he goes over to the two girls working at the magazine rack. He had the spread open to his picture, showing it to them. He's also looking back at me with a huge Cheshire Cat grin. Their reaction was 'That'll be 35 cents sir'. (laughing) Elvis said to them 'No, this is for you. I'm Elvis Presley'. Finally the girls agree that it is.
In the meantime, I'm capturing pictures of all of this, which is really what Elvis wanted. He knew one day that he would be very famous, and he wanted to capture on film these kinds of moments.

Anyway… That was only normal, given the circumstances but still impressive! Soon, not long after that, Elvis Aaron Presley, the Tupelo country boy, the former truck driver, was "ELVIS PRESLEY, the King of Rock and Roll", and he had all the attention he always hoped for. And it never ceased. Not even death could do anything to stop him from being adored. If he only knew... ♥

Anthony and Kate attend Edmund and Miles' primary school sports day. The other parents and kids find them frightening, and Kate has some big news.
For Anthony Week 2023: Day 6 - "N": Nursery
-------
“I am going to have to ask you both if you could step back from the side line,” her face was serious, Kate elbowed Anthony to break his trance.
“In fact, I’d prefer if you would stand over there, next to the equipment shed,” she pointed to a little outdoor storage cupboard in the distance, hundreds of metres from where they were all standing.
“What? You can’t be serious, surely. We won’t be able to see a thing from there,” Anthony sulked.
“I’m very sorry, but we’ve been having complaints from other parents all day.”
Anthony stated bluntly, “But Eddie has the egg and spoon relay coming up soon.”

Halloween 2023: 31 Days of Dark Academia (Part 2) Is Coming Soon!
In 2021, my Halloween Countdown focused on 31 Days of Dark Academia. I enjoyed that so much that I'll be back in October 2023 to spotlight 31 different and new works of Dark Academia! As in 2021, I will be using the #31DaysofDA tag.
Each day I’ll be posting a different DA title with a haunting/atmospheric quote. I hope you’ll enjoy the recommendations!
In the meantime, here are a few links related to my own Dark Academia-related doings, FYI!
In 2022, I had the great delight of teaching a graduate course on Dark Academia for Signum University. This experience led me to write the 2023 article "Teaching Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman (1951)," which appears at Reading Shirley Jackson in the 21st Century.
I continue to be fascinated by — and am working on a new project related to — the key features of Dark Academia literature. To my mind, these include the use of Gothic modes of storytelling (as I define Dark Academia as a subset of the Gothic), a focus on an academic setting and educational experience, the cultivation of a dark mood with an emphasis on death, and an interrogation of imbalances in and abuses of power.
For a longer discussion about defining the Dark Academia genre (as opposed to the aesthetic), there's my discussion of DA 1) in my "Looking Back on Genre History segment on Episode 671 of the StarShipSofa podcast and 2) in my essay "Dark Arts and Secret Histories: Investigating Dark Academia" in the forthcoming Potterversity anthology.
I have a new project in the works, as well, and will be discussing that soon! Right now, I can say that I'll be giving a related paper ("Consumed by the Campus: Dark Academia, the Gothic Imagination, and the Missing Student") in November at Sheffield Gothic's "Consuming the Gothic" conference. I hope to see some of you there (virtually)!
For now, I hope you will enjoy my 2023 Halloween Countdown starting tomorrow! The most wonderful time of the year is almost here! 🎃
Like flowers, love blooms from the thorniest of gardens—but flowers decay, and petals are bound to wither away at some point.
