Grammys go Hardcore

I have been at the Commerce since Thursday, but only had time to play one event, the $1500 PLO and didn't have any luck.

The rest of the time I have been down at a Grammy charity event. We got a very last minute call to do gifting for the Music Cares event honoring Neil Diamond as man of the year. I actually had to leave Vegas at 3 am to get there at 8am and go for 2 days with almost no sleep, but I think it was well worth it. Hardcore Elegance was extremely popular with all the artists and we got some great exposure. We got photos of everyone from Slash to Neil Diamond wearing our stuff with the Jonas Brothers fitting somewhere in between I would guess. We had a couple of our new friends win Grammys also. Adel was very nice to us and won two Grammys. Terrance Blanchard visited us twice and wore our bracelet, necklace and wallet chain while he recieved his Grammy and performed with Lil Wayne in a big tribute to New Orleans.

You can check out some of those photo's at hardcoreelegance.com.
