At the Sunburst Impersonators Convention in Orlando

September 27th, 2008 by Steve · 7 Comments

We had a great time in Orlando last week hanging out with the country’s very best celebrity impersonators and look-alikes. Everyone from Cher to President Bush were there. Mark was mistaken for Elvis, though he wasn’t wearing a costume.

    Hi Steve & Mark!

    Thanks for posting our pic together! It was so great meeting you both in person. Passing by your booth every day on my way to the showroom was like stopping by to see an old friend. Thanks for the T-shirt too. I wear it a lot, but it shrunk REALLY tight…so send me a large! LOL!

    Lisa,

    We felt the same way. It was awesome meeting you and I hope it’s not too long before we see you again. Thank YOU for posing with us- you make two ugly guys look good. And those shirts were supposed to be good quality… large on its way! Please send us a picture. :-)

    Thanks for coming out to our Convention!
    Sorry I didn’t get to spend quality time talking with either of you.
    I had too much going on that week, and I found myself busy making it to my booked gigs and the Convention.
    Hope you can come again next year!

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for the posting. No one ever wants to see the photo of the producer….wah, wahhhh!
    Anyway, thanks for being a Corporate Sponsor at the event.
    We had a great time and your booth looked great.
    Take care!
    Thanks for the T Shirt and Cap…and the booze, and the new car! (Just kidding for all those reading this).

    Kudos!
