You know that show, right?
Trading Spaces?
Well, I would be lying if I said I watched it. I don’t. I have watched it before… but never regularly, and definitely not recently.
Anyway, I keep seeing the new episode of Trading Spaces being advertised on tv. Do you know which episode I’m talking about? The one with the Vegas performers? You know, Elvis and Cher?
Every time I see that commercial, I look at Tom and say, “I know that guy. I swear I do.”
To which Tom quickly replies, “Uh, yeah, Sheila… that’s Elvis.”
Then I promptly roll my eyes and say, “No, I went to school with that guy.”
By then, of course, Tom has completely lost interest in my story about some Elvis guy and whether or not I went to school with him. And, the commercial quickly ends, and I immediately get distracted with Jon and Kate Plus 8, again.
But!
Finally!
Tonight I decide I’m going to figure out if I really know Elvis. So, I google Trading Spaces… and can’t find the name of the Elvis impersonator that I need to confirm my suspicions.
So, I google the guy who went to my high school. And, there he is… looking exactly like Elvis, and working in Vegas. And, by golly, his site even says that he was on Trading Spaces.
So, there, world.
I went to high school with Elvis (Matt Lewis was a senior when I was a freshman).
And, he’s on episode 8 of Trading Spaces.
Crazy? Me? I think not.
(Well, maybe a smidge. But, dammit, I was right!!)

Blue - It wasn’t his plan. But, he got offered good money to do it… so why not?
Tori - It was starting to drive me crazy! I’m glad that I figured it out also.

angie - I think thats what Mom said, but I have no memory of him from cub scouts.
Trishk - Kind of. He’s not had any medical procedures to make him look more like Elvis. He just grew his hair and sideburns out.
Annie - Well, as long as you can place the name with the face…
