CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: At least 35,000 diehard Elvis fans are paying homage in Memphis this weekend, the 25th anniversary of the king's death. CNN's Sean Callebs is among them and gives Miss Manners a run for her money with a postcard from the field on the dos and don'ts of Graceland. Or maybe not.</s>SEAN CALLEBS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: In 1977, when Elvis died, I was a teenager. And if you told me that this kind of staying power, tens of thousands of people would show up each year, spending tens of millions of dollars, I would have said, you're crazy. And Graceland seems to be the mecca that draws everybody. A little bit about this place. Until 1993, Elvis' aunt actually lived here. This building now belongs to Lisa Marie. And yes, she does spend some time here. The curator told us that she likes to play pool here, but she doesn't spend the night at Graceland. And during Elvis week, it kind of takes on a carnival like atmosphere. You can see the thousands of people behind us, but one thing you don't want to do is mock Elvis. The curator and others involved at Graceland don't like that. A few years ago, an MPV crew came here during the candlelight vigil. They took a bucket of fried chicken up to the grounds. They wanted to eat it and kind of make fun of Elvis' wake. They were escorted off the grounds.</s>LIN: Well, there you go, Southern hospitality.
