Written by alex.kruk on 8:18 PM
It's been so long since posting anything! It has been way too long, unfortunately facebook makes me lazy about blogging. It is much easier to post something there than here. BUT I like my blog and I am not giving it up!
So to make a good come back, here are a few short stories I just posted on facebook but on an ETA's wife group page which is closed to the public. Me and James had our week in the ETA (Elvis Tribute Artist) spotlight and I tried to make it shine with stories, pictures and videos.

I first met James in Katowice Poland he taught at my English language school. James says that when he saw me for the first time waiting for class that he said to himself "If only I could have her then everything in life would be great."
It was love at first sight. I remember being so nervous in his classes and during th...e breaks everyone would smoke and I could tell James was looking at me.
Then we dated a few times and I remember listening to his songs, original songs that he recorded in Poland. I listened and listened and fell more in love. I still love those songs. Now we have true love and 3 true love kids.
Link to James old Band and the songs. Paul E Esther is the song I loved (I didn't know it was comedy until my English got better I just LOVE his voice.)

How Elvis became a part of our life...
One year ago, January, there was a local contest in San Diego. James' brother spotted an ad in the newspaper and I knew this is what James should do - go and win. He was against it, he didnt want to go but I was sure he must! As he was standing he went to the contest in an old velv...et jacket and a wig for 15$. All he needed was his voice, and he won! Someone also asked him to sing at their wedding. Not long after that he started to be an Elvis Tribute Artist. Now 8 months later Elvis is his full time job and even if some months are hard he has my full support to do what he loves!

Below James rockin' the stage! I am not only an ETA wife but also an ETA photographer ;) IN OUR FAMILY James is the voice, I am the eye, Lilly is the vision, Martin the lawer ;) Max - hmm ...he is just a baby ;) Have a great day everybody!

The True begining...since James was 17 he ha been an actor, New York, L.A. San Francisco. The true begining of his Elvis life was in 1998 when he was asked to audition for a play written by Comedian/Writer/- Steve Martin. The play featured Einstein and Picasso and a time traveling Elvis. They wanted a real Elvis someon...e who could make him seem real not just hip swiveling and sneering. James watched all the films listened to Elvis Music and read everything he could find because it was a great part and the money was fantastic and the play was touring. James went to Los Angeles to audition for Steve Martin himself. Steve liked James' look but the best thing was he said James had "That certain something that Elvis had that we just can't describe" (Steve had met Elvis after Elvis saw his show) needless to say James got the part and was Elvis for 2 years. But being an ETA would come much later, but the seed was planted.

It was an honour to be one week on the spotlight! I hope everybody know us little more and hope we all will meet one day in person ...sooner or later. Hopefully in Memphis :)
Thank you Brittany for giving us chance to share, to know eachother and have this ETA wifes spot :)

Sunset Market show.
Written by alex.kruk on 2:55 PMYesterday James had a show at The Oceanside Sunset Market. It was just another event but there were some special things about it.
First: The Eagle has landed ! Which means his new suit - costume had arrived just before the show even though we were expecting it in two weeks! The suit is gorgeous ! and James looked just stunning! smoking HOT. I love it. I love it !
Second and best is that we could all go. The whole family, since it was outside and it was a Farmers market which makes me and our kids so happy every time we can be part of James' shows'
Third: homeless people. Yes, they were a part of King Kruk's audience since the event was open for everybody. They were a very good audience as Elvis himself would say. I am glad that James could bring them joy and a little happiness in their lives. They were dancing, and they had love and appreciation in their eyes !
The Show was great,the suit looked awesome, we had a really good time. Here are some pictures to share.

Bonsall Elementary
Written by alex.kruk on 12:17 AMWhat a show ! What an audience !... Elvis Presley would say "Thank You, You are very good audience "
James was performing at Bonsall Elementary school as Elvis. He was singing his best, he was dancing with his full power and he looked just perfect. This day was magic and special. In one point his sound system stopped and while he tried to go back to BLUE Suede Shoes the screen on his remote just said one word "dad" which was weird because it displays songs and never just one word, and there is no song called "dad". Weirdest yet was that it was his dead father's birthday that day! What a sign! John Kruk came to see King Kruk perform! Lets see some of my favourite pictures of the day.

Just look at these kids faces !! They just loved him so much, they enjoyed Elvis and their smiles were worth every single note ! Beautiful experience !
The Biggest Fan of the day !!! The boy in yellow shirt, I wish I knew his name.

New look of King Kruk
Written by alex.kruk on 9:52 PMNot long ago James got his new suit - The Black Phoenix. Such a work of Art. I love this costume and James looks amazing in it. We can't go out to take some new pictures because our kids are always there. We did some OUT but now we wanted to try something new. We put all of our children to sleep and started to build a studio in our garage... yep now we have a garage - what a great place and so useful! I love our garage. there is laundry room, and a lot of storage space, now there is studio and soon there will be a big boys room - a music studio. I took some pictures of KING KRUK with his NEW LOOK
Having fun with The King
Written by alex.kruk on 9:56 PMWhat a treat this was for me ! While I was taking pictures of King Kruk Lilly came to do some small routine with KING. She usually doesn't like getting her picture taken so I captured this special moment. I love these !!
KING KRUK UPDATES
Last weekend James went to Lake Tahoe to take place in another Ultimate Elvis Contest and with pride I have to say he placed SECOND ! Although I believe he should be FIRST. He is The best !
---We are waiting for his new costume so stay in touch to see real good thing!---
Karaoke My space Contest. We have heard nothing from them but we know somebody else won the first prize. But still - Thank you Everybody for watching our video. Probably with a sponsor we would go to Memphis for The Last Chance Contest...
