Hello, My name is Mike and I am a Hard Rockaholic. It has been three weeks since my last visit to a Hard Rock Cafe (Indianapolis)

I have been to way too many Hard Rocks. I primarily started going because I travel more than my friends and some people wanted pins. After that I started picking up pins for myself. I eventually started going to cities just because they had a Hard Rock.

My list is: London (including two Thanksgiving dinners), Los Angeles, New York, Stockholm, Chicago (my first one), Honolulu, La Jolla, Sydney, Boston, Washington D.C., Singapore, Orlando (cafe, hotel and live venue), Las Vegas, Puerto Vallarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Paris, Tiajuana, Berlin, Atlanta, Newport Beach, San Juan (currently closed) Miami, Bali (Stayed at the hotel and ate at the cafe), Hong Kong (Kowloon also saw the shop at The Peak), Madrid, Las Vegas (cafe and hotel/casino), Vancouver (now closed), Copenhagen, Whistler (now closed), Melbourne, Hollywood, Baltimore, Barcelona, Memphis, Edinburgh, Guam, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Rome, Amsterdam, Indianapolis, Manchester, Queenstown, Pattaya (Stayed at the hotel and ate at the cafe), Birmingham UK and Louisville.

The hotel at Pattaya had the nicest hotel room I have ever stayed in. My first room flooded (cheapest available) so they upgraded me to a King Suite (one floor from the top, big enough to have four balconies).

I tried to go to the Cape Town cafe, but discovered once I got there that it had closed a couple of months earlier. I have also been to the fake cafes in Zagreb and Mombassa.

My pin count is about 225, all of which have come from cafes I visited with the exception of ones bought on ebay from closed cafes.
