There were a few sections still unwritten when the time came, but they were all &#8220;extras&#8221;&#8211;I wanted to add more spells, artifacts, dumb tables, and that kind of stuff. The missing stuff not being there didn&#8217;t affect the flow of the book and the editors could skip them and circle back without missing any needed information. I decided that was close enough.<\/p>\n<p>I got to Memphis between 1 and 2pm on Friday afternoon. Since Graceland closes at 4pm and most online sources recommended 3-4 hours if you plan to see everything, I decided that I&#8217;d wait until Saturday for the main event. From what I remembered from browsing around Google Maps, the Brooks Museum of Art was the closest spot I wanted to visit to where I was coming into town, so I started there. \u00a0The next stop (after some good Catfish and amazing dirty rice at a place called Chef Tam&#8217;s) was Sun Studios. \u00a0The Sun tour inspired a new artifact for the book, Mr. Phillips&#8217; Microphone. On Saturday I went straight to Graceland when I got up and stayed until about 4:30. I had a vague plan to go to Beale Street that night, but by the time I got back to the hotel I was exhausted and decided to save that for my next trip to Memphis. Sunday I went to the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. \u00a0Here are some photos I took on the trip.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2172 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/elvismancer-fact-finding-mission\/benton\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-4400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Benton-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-4400'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Brooks is an art museum in the South, so obviously they had a Thomas Hart Benton, and this one has a nice Hobomancer vibe.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/elvismancer-fact-finding-mission\/bosch\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-4402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bosch-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-4402'>\n\t\t\t\tThe coolest thing at the Brooks was this tiny Bosch (it&#8217;s about the size of a comic book).\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/elvismancer-fact-finding-mission\/sunstudios\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-4417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SunStudios-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-4417'>\n\t\t\t\tSun Studio\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/elvismancer-fact-finding-mission\/deweyphillipsbooth\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-4405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/deathcookie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DeweyPhillipsBooth-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-4405'>\n\t\t\t\tThe coolest and most unexpected exhibit at the Sun tour was that they had Dewey Phillips&#8217; (no relation) DJ Booth set up on the second floor.
