Tiesto @ Intervention Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Intervention Summer Pool parties at San Diego's Hard Rock Hotel usually bring the hottest world Class DJ's. This past Sunday was business as usual as Tiesto stopped by for a DJ set.  No big deal right?

Shock G recently stopped by Hard Rock Hotel for a live performance at Mynt Thursdays.

Playmates, Blondes & Brunettes...Oh My

DJhere brought about a fun time this past Friday at Hardrock Hotel's 207 Nightclub. Playboy Playmates Jamie Edmondson and Heather Rae Young hosted the night as the club literally popped bottles with models!

DJhere and the playmates hosted a contest for the battle of supremacy between the hottest group of blondes and the hottest group of brunettes.

The winner of the contest received a cabana with bottle service at Hardrock's Sunday Intervention Pool Party. Not a bad prize for being hot.

To be honest, I was working so I saw first hand, the brunettes beat the pants of the blondes that night. HA! Sorry but I guess everyone, not just blondes, can have more fun if you have friends to share the night with.

Anyway, check out the photos here.

Shaun Phillips Bday @ Intervention w/ DJ Chuckie

For starters, almost any Sunday funday pool party equates to nothing but trou-ble, trou-ble.

If you add allstar DJ's, stellar promotional companies and NFL players birthday parties to the line-up, I think the word trouble is merely an understatement.

This past Sunday Djhere, one of San Diego's premiere promotional and marketing companies, hosted Intervention at Float inside Hardrock Hotel San Diego.

DJ Chuckie was spinning and letting the bass kick, while Hardrock Hotel resident DJ Sid Vicious celebrated his birthday in style following shots, shots, shots, and more shots.

NFL Linebacker Shaun Phillips wore his birthday boy hat as he celebrated the day also.

Shock G made a cameo because he had a performance later on in the evening at Hardrock's other club 207.

It was just a day of fun, the exact way I imagined it to be. Now if we can only keep that energy up. Hmmmm, only time will tell. Take That Take that...ha!

Anyway,

1 Year Anniversary of 207 & Float (Hardrock Hotel SD)

It seems lately Hardrock Hotel San Diego has kept it popping from week to week with the on going performances of chart topping artists.

Friday night was no different with Hardrock celebrating its 1 year anniversary by having a live performance by Busta Rhymes and a special DJ set by Mr. "Y'all know what this is" himself, Jermaine Dupri DJing on the turntables.

The energy was live and to be honest with you, San Diego has a lot in store for the summer and you can rest assured that I will be in the mix keeping you updated with that latest and greatest of the hotness!

As always keep it classy San Diego and congrats to 207/Float Hardrock Hotel!

Shannon Elizabeth & Iyaz At Hardrock

You know you're at the popping spot of the night when you see NFL probowlers, Hollywood celebrities and chart topping artists performing in the San Diego Gaslamp.

What's interesting is people have this preset idea about San Diego being a laid back, beach community, but at times the SOCAL element can really come out to play.

Recently, Shannon Elizabeth, (American Pie, That 70's Show) was hanging out with NFL players, Kassim Osgood, Kirk Morrison and Vincent Jackson to name a few for a night on the town.

Actually, Osgood called upon his celebrity friends to celebrate his last week in San Diego as a Charger after recently being signed to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The night also engaged in a live performance from Iyaz performing his hit Like A Melody to go along with the festivities.

Now how about this little addition. Shannon was recently in Vegas for an appearance which happened to be my good friend @thatdudejuelz's birthday, but I couldn't make it do to me being sick that weekend.

I was really bummed about not being able to go to Vegas. I guess God knew this and brought the party to me. Also, this time around it was another good friend of mine @kalvinr's birthday so everything worked out.

I got to meet Shannon, I celebrated another friend's birthday and I was also working this event so I got paid to party!

The moral of the story is everything happens for a reason so keep working towards your goals because you never know when the opportunity you seek will fall in your lap.

The Most Interesting Academy...

As you should know by now, this site is dedicated to uncovering the truth about things that are hyped up by determining if the product, concept or person is worth of the publicity. On Wednesday night Dos Equis presented The Most Interesting Academy at Hardrock Hotel San Diego.

I was inspired to go because, one, I heard that the most interesting man in the world may be there and because I was personally invited by four different people. I guess you could say I was hyped up to go...lol. Hype is everything, right?

Covering the event, I must say definitely was a great experience. It wasn't too packed as I have been to other events at Hardrock and the vibe was very interesting, literally. Very sociable. As a matter of fact, it was more of a social, intimate interaction as opposed to a regular club or nightlife event. Special guests got to attend this complimentary invite-only event by simply printing out their electronic ticket.

By hosting events like this on a weekly basis (quite frankly, I have had to shoot event photography at Hardrock 6-7 consecutive weeks in a row when usually I bounce all over to elite spots) might be the hottest spot in town, but I'm not trying to figure that out yet. The only thing I was not happy with was all the hype surrounding the fact that THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD would be there when in fact he was not. SSD!!!

Oh well, Stay thirsty my friends...
