Melvis Sings with the Band
While Melvis holds a comfortable home court advantage at Hoffman Lanes, he has been moonlighting at Chicago City Limits lately and participating in Live Band Karaoke. The house band even has a special intro they play while Mel takes the stage!

Melvis Fan Club Expands – Nashville
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our newest chapter added with the signing of the Nashville Charter! The lovely people of Nashville have been working tirelessly to attain this level of recognition. It was a seven step process that included community outreach, maintaining detailed alcohol consumption logs, and a karaoke challenge.
Upon successful completion of the process, the Nashville hopefuls sent delegates to the shrine of Melvisdom, the Fabulous Hoffman Lanes. It was in this inner sanctum that the delegates were able to experience the Melvis firsthand. The magical evening concluded with the signing of the Nashville Charter, which officially recognized this branch of Melvisfans.
And, to officially seal the charter, one more important step needed to be taken. Much like the nautical community christening a boat with champagne, the delegates were christened with a kiss from the legend himself.
Congratulations to the new members of the Nashville Chapter of the Official Melvis Fan Club. We wish you continued success in all your Melvis endeavors.

St. Patrick’s Day Celebration 1
M-E-double L-I, V-I-S spells…Mellivis?
Well, we all drank green beer and enjoyed a special Thursday night show at the Hoffman Palace Ballroom. Green beverages were had by all. Melvis really got into the spirit, as did everyone else (including Frankie…obviously).
Melvis sang really well, doing some of his standards as well as a special treat to close the show, a showstopping “Danny Boy”. Melvis thought the show went so well, he passed a hat for the beer fund. No one was seen making a donation.
By the end of the night, the crowd was really going crazy every time Mel sang. So much was the response that Mel got really choked up by how much the crowd loved him. What a great Irishman.

The Keychain
Anyone who has experienced the Melvis knows what a fashion conscious person he is. Always dresses sharp for a performance, and he knows how to accessorize. What I would consider the mainstay of the Melvis outfit is his distinctive keychain. Always worn on the loop of his pants, the keychain jingle lets you know when greatness has entered the room.
Well, as a visitor to the Melvis Fan Club, you now get the inside scoop on the constituent parts of this unique artifact:
Moving counter-clockwise from the left, we see that Mel has his priorities in order. First and foremost, we need food to live. We see that he keeps his “Jewel-Osco Preferred Card” and his “Dominick’s Fresh Values Card” at the ready. It’s really no surprise that Melvis has memberships to these exclusive clubs.
Another elite group is the “Ace Helpful Hardware Club”. Not being a member myself, I don’t know if this is the type of club Captain Caveman carried or if it’s a membership group, but certainly when you have the massive fame that Melvis has, a large club might be helpful in fending off the fans.
Next, we see how hip the Melvis is with his stylish “94.7 the Zone” bottle opener. When Melvis sings, he sticks to the classics, but as for cruising in his ride, he rocks out to the newest rock around.
Rounding out the key cards is a “Speedway Speedy Rewards”, the bronzed “Firestone Mastercare” card, and “Schaumburg Automedics, inc.”
We assume that the keys are to his house, the Escalade, and the Porshe, but Mel’s personal belongings remain a closely guarded secret. So next time you see him, give him a nod and flash your Jewel card. Members only.
