Subject: [ILF] Mark King HRC pin!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATTENTION!!!

Thanks to a great tip from Winston, I have discovered something new for us 
die-hards to collect.  It's doubly cool for me, since I am a collector of 
Hard Rock Cafe pins.

Hard Rock Cafe guitar pins are among the most collected items in the world, 
especially the ones made to honor specific musicians (like Buddy Holly, Eddie 
Cochran, Jimi Hendrix, etc.).  Now, it appears that HRC has issued a pin in 
honor of Mark King!  It doesn't have his name on it (as none of them do, for 
legal reasons), but the pin is a pearl-blue/green JayDee 4-string 
Supernatural.  I never saw another famous bassist playing one of those, and 
I'm told that the pin is referred to in-store as the Mark King pin, so I'm 
convinced.

Apparently, the pins are only available in Pacific-region HRC's.  I'm making 
efforts to obtain pins from Kowloon and the Philipines.  So, if any of you 
know anyone who's going to Asia soon, ask him/her to bring back a fistful of 
Mark King pins!

I'll try to put up a photo of the pin today at
