Elvis Impersonators; A. Lincoln Ones, Too

That's right. Elvis, not Elvish.  Searching for links to the Elvish language, I stumbled on to some interesting Elvis sites (that damn, disappearing "h").   I like this one, on Elvis impersonators, best. 

Did you also know that there is a professional organization for Abraham Lincoln impersonators?  Except they prefer to be called "presenters."  I've always wanted to go to their convention.  I came up with the idea a few years ago, and was all fired up to get a press pass and cover the event, when I opened up an Atlantic Monthly to find that someone else had beat me to it.  At least I learned that I have good story instincts. I still think there's another story to be written about it. I mean, do these guys have groupies?  Next chance, 2006 in Cincinatti.  I talked to a Lincoln presenter once, while he was being Lincoln at the David Davis Mansion, and it was sort of like meeting a rock star. I felt a little woozy, as if my corset had been laced up a bit too tight.
