Do You Own Any Hard Rock Cafe Tee-Shirts? From Which Cities?
As a restaurant, it's just "okay"... but now that we've started our collection, if there's a Hard Rock Cafe in any city that we visit, then we buy one of the classic-style logo-t's.

So far: Berlin, Beijing, Cancun, Mexico City, St. Louis, Key West, San Francisco, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Guam, Washington DC, Baltimore.

Key West, Rome, and Tijuana


I haven't actually been to the one in Rome though. My dad picked it up for me when he was in Naples for a couple of weeks.

3. It's An Addiction... Sometimes We Don't Even Stop To Eat...
we just head straight for the gift shop, buy a shirt (or two) then leave. It's pretty pathetic really... if you think about it.

6. Pittsburgh has a Hard Rock now????
I know they've been gunning for one for a few years, to go with the whole North Shore redevelopment. Where is it?

P.S. Allen- we have one here in Cleveland, too.

11. Hey, it's the birthplace of rock-n-roll!
Or so the tourist-mongers will tell you.
Besides, the Hard Rock in Bucyrus* is better! :silly:






*- Bucyrus- small town in the middle of nowhere that looks like a John Mellencamp song.

20. I Heard Something About A Hall Of Fame Something-or-other...

10. I've Always Wanted A Hard Cock Cafe Shirt...
same typestyle and graphics... if you're not paying close attention, it looks so similar to the original, that you might not even notice.

13. I had that one too!
Too bad it ended up getting torn.

I've stood outside the Hard Rock Cafe Mombassa and thought about buying one, but was almost broke at the time.

15. I used to have a Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt from Singapore
When we lived there, it was one of our regular haunts and our family would often go for dinner there. While I've previously visited the Hard Rock Cafe in Sydney and Malaysia, it was too long ago and I don't remember whether we had T-shirts or not

16. It's a point of pride for our traveling circle to never enter HRC.
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 01:23 PM by HuckleB
And to never spend our hard-earned money on their overpriced T-shirts. Sure, it sounds elitist, but, really, it's just spending money wisely when on a tight budget.

Just saying.

17. I used to have a sweatshirt from the Hard Rock Cafe in Tokyo
I was leading a group of students to Japan in January 1991, and by the time we got to Tokyo, our last stop on the trip, I was SOOOO sick of the few clothes I had brought along. The students insisted on going to the Hard Rock Cafe one night, and when I saw the sweatshirts on sale, I recognized an opportunity to expand my wardrobe.
