The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse Daytona Rocked at the Doghouse on
Main Street
with Bands, Bike Builders, Babes and Benefits
HOLLYWOOD
,
Fla.
– March 28, 2008 – The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse was the
place to party in Daytona this year. Located at the Doghouse Bar &
Grill on Daytona Beach, the rock n’ roll was always playing, the Hog
Wild Girls and Hard Rock Models were always rocking and the beer was
continuously flowing, once again making the Doghouse the hottest spot on
Main Street every night of the week.
The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse wouldn’t be
complete without top name custom bike builders and their bikes. This year,
the Roadhouse featured bikes and merchandise from Billy Lane, Choppers
Inc., Russell Mitchell, Exile Cycles, Paul Cox, Paul Cox Industries, and
Ami James and Marlowe B. of Love Hate Choppers. Each builder had one bike
featured and made several appearances throughout the week to meet fans and
sign autographs.
As always, the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse had some
new and fresh features this year in Daytona, including the Biker Fusion
event hosted by
Billy Lane
and Paul Cox. This event gave the general public a chance to mix with the
A-list of the motorcycle industry while raising money for a great cause,
Soldier’s Angels. By the end of the week the industry raised over
$30,000 for Soldier’s Angels with the specific mission of providing
money to outfit a convoy support center in
Iraq
. This generous donation for the troops would not have been possible
without Billy Lane and Paul Cox’s support as well as sizeable
contributions from the Seminole Tribe, Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination
Daytona, Ron Segal at Segal Fine Arts, Biker Design, Dave Marshlack, Owner
of the Doghouse Bar & Grill, P.I.N.K. Vodka, The Next Great American
Bike Builder, Sucker Punch Sally’s, Broward Motorsports and Baker
Drivetrain. Once again, bikers stepped up and supported those who fight
for our right to be free.
This year also saw the debut of the H2Ocean Art
Fusion Experiment at the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse in the Doghouse Bar
& Grill. This event matched up several nationally acclaimed tattoo
artists, who each drew for three minutes and then switched to complete one
another’s drawings, making each piece of art a truly collaborative
effort.The completed art was auctioned off for the Soldier’s Angels
charity.
Ami James, of TLC’s Miami
Ink was signing autographs and getting his picture taken with fans
while he was there to promote his new company, Love Hate Choppers. Love
Hate’s bike builder, Marlowe B. unveiled their new “Love Hate 145”
at the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse, where it was on display for the week
and received critical acclaim. Ami James also hosted his own tattoo
contest, “Art of Tattoo,” which featured contestants from all over the
world.
Another feature for the Roadhouse Tour this year was
the collaboration with a new motorcycle show, “The Next Great American
Builder.” Right now, amateur bike builders can apply to be on the show
(at http://www.greatamericanbuilder.tv), and 13 will be selected to live
and work together for about three months in
New Orleans
. At the Seminole Hard Rock locations, “The Next Great American
Builder” hosts
Billy Lane
and Paul Cox were featured along with their bikes. Episodes for the show
were filmed on location with Lane, Cox and the other celebrity builders,
and it was a major attraction throughout Bike Week.
Once again, the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse at the
Doghouse Bar & Grill proved itself as the place to be for bike week
with hotter babes, colder beer and better bikes than anywhere else in
Daytona. The Doghouse was the hottest place to be on
Main Street
and was packed every night of the week, in fact in broke records for
Mainstreet.
