Pearl Jam memorabilia at Hard Rock Cafes

Just curious where anyone has spotted Pearl Jam memorabilia at Hard Rock cafes, I went to one in La Jolla and there was a couple items there. I looked on HRC's website but they did not have an accurate list, the items I saw in La Jolla were not listed. It did list a guitar from Stone in the San Juan Puerto Rico cafe, and their archives including several items (mostly setlists) from their 1995 Asian/ Australia tour.

My Wife and I got back from Maui about two weeks ago, I saw the HRC but we did not eat there. Apparently someone told me there's some Pearl Jam stuff in there.

    There is a bass Jeff used to record VS. in the Times square HRC. I randomly sat underneath it, and was very excited to look up and see it!

    Hard Rock in St. Paul MN has a guitar autographed by the entire band (I believe...I would have to look through old pictures to be sure). I think its a guitar and a Metallica/Pearl Jam 93? tour billboard

    The HRC in Houston has a South American Tour poster up. I think it's from the last time they went to Mexico.

    In Berlin they have a guitar, signed by the whole band, and if I remember right, one or two pictures.

    The Hotel is Las Vegas used to have a wetsuit and broken surfboard signed and written on by Ed. The wetsuit was turquoise and black and he had written all kinds of crazy stuff up and down the arms. On the surfboard, if I'm recalling this correctly (I'm going back to 95 or 96 here) he drew The Who mod logo on it and maybe some lyrics. They also had a guitar signed by the entire band which also included little drawing of each member and "Pearl Jam" in block letters. Needless to say, this was some cool shit.

    Yeah, it's in The Vault, beneath the Hard Rock shop across from the Cafe. It's one of the items you can actually hold and have your photo taken with, etc.

    HRC at Universal in Orlando has a EV "grunge" outfit on one of the floors of the hotel. I think its an army jacket and jeans. Will look for the pic.
    And also sat random under Mikes guitar in Times Square. Its at the bar.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    The HRC in Rome has a older autographed pic of the band, a autographed drum symbol w/ oversized sticks and a handwritten letter that Vedder wrote to friend after he almost drowned (which I thought was a crazy item to have).

    The HRC in Philly has a tour poster of Soundgarden with Pearl Jam.

    I was in London 7 years ago & went to the HRC. They actually had a guided tour of the Vault. At the end, the tourguide asked if anyone had any questions. Jokingly I asked if I could try on John Lennon's army jacket & hold Eddie Vedder's guitar. Typical proper Brit, apologized that it would be impossible to try on the jacket, but I was allowed to hold the guitar. Did not waste anytime taking him up on his offer. Along the body of the guitar was a strip of paper with lyrics to Elderly Woman hand written by Ed. It was to say the least... an infuckingcredible moment. Have a few pics. It was great.

    There is no memorabilia at the HR Amsterdam or HR Cancun, but there is a bunch from Hard Rock Rome. There is a huge symbol signed by Matt Cameron, a photo circa 1992 of the group in B&W, and the original (never thought this was real/ever see it) EV surfing accident hand-written letter to the lifeguard that helped save him in the early '90s with a picture of Eddie and his surfboard adjacent to the letter.
    I became obsessed with going to Hard Rocks while I was studying abroad. Nothing at Zurich and I never made it to the one in Paris b/c we almost got murdered at a strip club but thats another story in itself

    Keep in mind it was 7 years ago that I was there. So I'm not sure if they are still doing this.

    The one in Ottawa has a few things upstairs. It took me a full year of living here and frequenting the Hard Rock before I happened to find the PJ stuff. They have an acoustic guitar autographed by the whole band mounted with a few pictures. We were walking past it on the way to the balcony one night and I noticed it for the first time after a year of going there.
