<p>This past Friday the <a title="Hard Rock Cafe - Las Vegas" href="http://www.hardrock.com/Locations/cafes3/cafe.aspx?LocationID=60&amp;MIBEnumID=3" target="_blank">Hard Rock Cafe</a> hosted a blogger party which coincided with the Bon Jovi <a title="Bon Jovi Pre-Concert Party" href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=97144756112#/pages/Bon-Jovi-Pre-Concert-Party-042409-at-the-Hard-Rock-Cafe-Las-Vegas/145597860371?v=wall&amp;viewas=578262972" target="_blank">pre-concert party</a>.  As you can read from the title, the intent of the party was to engage the Las Vegas blogger community and drum up some publicity for HRC.</p>
<p>Typically my Friday evenings are pretty low key so, HRC&#8217;s offer of free food and drink seemed like a perfect excuse to get out and socialize for a while.  I don&#8217;t know how many bloggers showed up to the party, but several from the <a title="Beer and Blog Las Vegas" href="http://lasvegas.beerandblog.com/" target="_blank">BNBLV</a> crowd were in attendance.  This was the first blogger event hosted by HRC and hopefully in their eyes it was deemed a success.</p>
<p>Attending bloggers were encourage to participate in the pre-concert party activities which included a silent auction and door prize drawing.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t recall what the list of door prizes included, but the main attraction was a pair of concert tickets for the sold out Bon Jovi show which went to a woman from Overton, NV.   Sorry Julie.</p>
<p>I had a pretty good time hanging out with friends and look forward to the next HRC Bash.  My thanks go out to Diana Webber from HRC for organizing the event and giving me a good excuse to get out and socialize.</p>
<p>This even also provided me with a good opportunity to work on my photography skills.  The photo of the HRC Guitar sign was my most successful shot of the night.  I will actually take this a bit further and say that it is probably my best neon sign photo to date.</p>
<p>You can check out my photos on <a title="My Flickr Photostream" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sefkac/" target="_blank">Flickr</a>. Comments welcome!</p>

<p>Thank you Hard Rock Cafe for giving me the only cheeseburger that my fitness trainer won&#8217;t punish me for eating.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I decided I would attend the <a href="http://www.amiando.com/lasvegastwestival.html">Las Vegas Twestival for charity: water</a> next week (Feb 12).  Should be interesting.  A bunch of folks from <a href="http://lasvegas.beerandblog.com/">Beer and Blog Las Vegas</a> should be there.  Anybody want to meet up for some pre-Twestival dining?</p>
<p>Next <a href="http://lasvegas.beerandblog.com/">Beer and Blog Las Vegas</a> meetup is tomorrow night, Feb 5, 6-8pm @ The Freakin Frog.</p>
