Hello Joburg Magazine Launch @HRCJohannesburg - 17 Sep 2014

Hi Guys,

It was one of the most amazing and coolest party of the town as Hello Joburg magazine relaunched themselves with the new Spring issue. The location to celebrate the launch is one of the most happening place in Nelson Mandela Square & Sandton City - HARD ROCK CAFE! It was my first visit to the Hard Rock Cafe and I was immediately impressed by the energy and enthusiasm the place has in it along with the live music.

It was not only the launch of the Hello Joburg magazine but also Hard Rock Cafe introduced their new menu of some mouth watering food and delicacies. More photographs of the #newmenu food are on my Instagram page (@araijain).

We were served with a lot of new dishes by the amazing staff at HRCJohannesburg. There were a lot of sponsors and a lot of prizes for the guests by actively participating in the launch event. We were given an Iced tea with bubbles by @HappyMeSA The tea was nice and I really loved it.

Justyn Spinner welcomed the guests and party was opened with a lot of VIP guests and who's who of Johannesburg City. I met some of the awesome people in the party along with my blogger friends - Katchie & Namritha. Here is Mr South Africa - John Owens with the REKORDERLIG Cidar that was served to all the guests.

After a while when all the guests were part of the party, Bianca Maletsky thanked all the guests for participating in their twitter/HoGello app contests and coming to the launch party. Their #HelloRockers hashtag trended in South Africa for the whole day of the event. She started giving away the prizes by various sponsors to the lucky winners and I too got the Klipdrift goodie bag as the second prize. 

Justyn handed over the prizes to all the winners. It's always great to meet Justyn and he remembered me from our last meeting in June at the launch of #CinePrestige @sterkinekor.

It was time to listen and enjoy to some of the amazing rock music by Cunning Brad.

The Rock music made the party more lively and people started to tap & dance.

I enjoyed my time there at the Hard Rock Cafe with Namritha and Katchie and met Simone Jacobs from Ster Kinekor & Bianca Maletsky for the first time. A party like this is always a great platform to develop good networking with the great celebrities of the town. The new food introduced by the Hard Rock Cafe was really good and I enjoyed it thoroughly within my restricted Vegetarian options.

The Hard Rock Cafe has the round bar and is always full of people enjoying themselves with their family and friends.

HRCJohannesburg also offers a lot of merchandise and collectibles for people to buy and cherish.

In the end, thanks a lot to Hello Joburg magazine for the invite and thanks to Justyn and Bianca for the awesome party.

I again took my #MissionSamsung #NX300 camera for the event and was happy with the photographs.Follow Hello Joburg on twitter and facebook. Follow Hard Rock cafe on twitter and facebook.
