Now this first item may be a little too hardcore for most, but I actually find it pretty cool. I was recently snooping around an old abandoned house near my neighborhood and discovered a vintage 1962 Century 21 Exposition (also known as the World’s Fair) piece of blank stationary. It’s a little dirty and ripped, but this paper has been waiting to be written on for 45 years. Neat. And did you know that Elvis Presley filmed his 1963 film It Happened At The World’s Fair in Seattle. The Monorail, Seattle Center, and the Space Needle are backdrops in the movie and a young Kurt Russel even appears (kicking Elvis). I’m a bit of a Presley fanatic and once owned the soundtrack and all this nostalgia is making me want to find a copy again (the record has some of his weakest songs, as do most of his 60’s soundtracks, yet One Broken Heart For Sale isn’t bad at all). Come on though, who doesn’t love Elvis? Shipley, back me up here.

Italian version of It Happened At The World’s Fair starring Elvis Presley. The tagline for the movie read “Swinging higher than the space needle with the gals and the songs at the famous Worlds Fair!”
