October Website Update

Here I am already with another monthly update…

What’s Supp?

As mentioned last month, the Montreal HRC closed Sept. 27.  I visited the cafe for the past Montreal Pinathon event and it was a great cafe!   The staff were a lot of fun and very friendly and the cafe had a great look with the 2 floors.  Rumor is that the cafe may reopen in a smaller venue, if one can be found.  One can’t imagine that there will be a better location than where it was but perhaps a small cafe might be more affordable during the lean winter months.

I’ve been asked to create a page for the bottle openers collection.  For all you who just started collecting these gems, let me just warn you:  There are hundreds on them!   Little did I know, until the CD of pictures arrived from Carmen, what I was getting into…  Anyway, look for this collection to be published to the website in the next couple of weeks.

Pictures page has been moved to Flickr, you can check ’em out here:

If you visited the new Las Vegas cafe and would like to write a review of it, please send it to me and I’ll post it the group blog.  Or if anyone would like to review their local cafe or one they’ve recently visited, drop a me an email.

HR Hyderabad Bar has closed after a short existence – but it did manage to release a shot glass before the doors closed.

Of note:  The On-Line Island shot released in August has been recalled and won’t be reissued.  Only a small quantity of the shots were shipped to customers before it was pulled so count yourself luck if you got one! 

Yeah, Baby!

September Website Update

And another school year is about to start!  Where did the summer go?  Or that was my opening line – Heck, where did time go because I forgot all about publishing this.   So here’s a quick late update.  October is chomping at the keys…

What’s Supp?

The website has undergone a few changes again, in case you haven’t noticed.

The News Page is now linked to a blog page on WordPress.   If you would like to contribute anything Hard Rock Cafe related, drop me an email.  There will be more things written throughout the months (hopefully) about what’s going on in the world of Hard Rock Cafe.

The Lastest Released Shots is a tab off that page.  So never fear, the new shots are still being tracked for everyone.   If you know about a new shot glass, send the info my way. 

New Shots in the month of August were:

City shots:  Bangkok,  Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Nashville and Philadelphia

Red Circle Logo:  Cabo San Lucas (bold), Bangkok (no STP), Belo Horizonte

Other:  Tulsa GO, Tulsa Flame and Online Island Guitars (also recalled)

Discovered:  Houston 2002 Mini Hurricane set, Nashville 4th of July 2005 short

Yeah, Baby!

As mentioned in the last update, Tulsa HRH and Casino opened on August 3.

Not so much a Yeah but the Seattle cafe opening has been postponed and according to the Hard Rock website, it will open in early 2010.  Here’s hoping the doors swing open before the Winter Olympics in February!

And don’t forget, Washington DC is hosting Pinapalooza in October.  2 limited edition shots will be released!

Cheers!
