"Train Days" at DVFD Activities Hall

From Dec 14, 2008

Train Days was a cool little event held in Damascus. I went because a friend’s son and father had a train on display. The people who organized this event went all out. The decorations were cute, the train displays were impressive, there was free food, talented entertainment, and the fire department gave away about 10 bikes to the kids.

It's also the perfect way for me to show in photos the stark contrast between my life in Hollywood and my life in Damascus. I must point out that this Elvis impersonator is really good. Unfortunately “Frosty” was the only one dancing.

Dan Webley as Elvis at Music Cafe

FROM NOVEMBER 29, 2008

I am going to be shooting at the Music Cafe in Damascus fairly often - and I’m thrilled about it! They are going to be blowing up my photos of their popular acts to decorate the stage area walls.

The first of my live shoots at the café was the very popular local favorite - Dan Webley as Elvis. This guy is great. He does young Elvis for the first set then changes into older Elvis for the second half.

One thing Elvis does that’s so cute is he hands out scarves to all of the kids. The kids love it and go up for autographs after the show. He can be hired for parties/events. I'm trying to find some contact info for him and will post here when I find something.
