I don't make it into Itaewon very often. If there is any information at the new HRC remodeling location (the old Limelight building) about when the grand opening will be, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.

Have only been to two Hard Rock Cafes. The one in Fukouka when I did my visa run, they really must get alot of people doing that. Plus the one in Niagara Falls.

I'd love to beat you with an iron rod for spending too much time and money propping up the Bush amdministration.

Are you for real?
The Seminole Indian tribe of Florida bought the HRC chain for close to a billion dollars earlier this year. Really don't see what connection you're trying to make.

See you at the Itaewon opening, tough guy.

Ever since they got bought out by a corrupt indian tribe that made their money by bankrupting people in their casinos, I decided never to go to another Hard Rock Cafe.

Oh, yeah. Those bad, bad Indians sticking it to the White Man once again. Rolling Eyes

Just a very small case of poetic justice, if you ask me. If a bunch of rich retired snowbirds want to blow their money playing slots and blackjack, so be it.
You must not believe in being responsible for your own actions, do you?

Snowbirds, I do not feel sorry for.

People who lose their house, life savings, their marriage, their family, etc. on gambling addiction, those I do feel sorry for.

So North America basically sold out rights to casinos to indians. Doesn't mean we have to help them with it.

The grand opening at the new Itaewon Hard Rock should be sometime in October, according to the lady I talked to from the phone number posted at the construction site.

And it immediately went famous with the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Confused

Don't get the Bush connection, though.

Except that the shrub in the White House has probably been drinking in a lot of them.

Can't imagine going in one myself- unless I need a bathroom in a pinch.

Awesome list. I'm humbled.
You really much be itching to get to California some day.
Do you collect anything (pins, shot glasses, etc..)?

I just collect Pins and Shot Glasses. Too many hirts take up a lot of room in my luggage. Here's a shot of my Shot glass collection. I still have to some from my tour of the Eastern US that I'm on now.
