Vince's niece Andrea who lives in Maine has been collecting Hard Rock Cafe tee shirts since she was very young. Vince and I would buy them to add to her collection wherever we traveled and we would give them to her at Christmas. We gave her dozens and dozens over the years. From Bangkok to Buenos Aires to Berlin.
(Flashback to my first ever Hard Rock Cafe visit: London 1978 with college friend Laura Wylie during our Eurail Pass summer abroad. It was just a funky little cafe where you get a decent American burger in Europe. Who knew it would become such a phenom?)
I do not believe we ever gave her one we bought in Africa but "it's not over 'til it's over" as Yogi Berra would say. They are building a brand new Hard Rock Cafe in Joburg right in Nelson Mandela Square.
And just in time for Christmas.
Andrea is a certified accountant now and is married with two teen-age children. If she doesn't wear her HRC tee shirts anymore, I will suggest she make a tee shirt quilt with them for those snowy nights in Maine. It worked for me!
