Snapshot :: The Black-Eyed Peas Suite at the Hard Rock San Diego

Where: 207 5th Avenue [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101

There was a very good reason the Black-Eyed Peas were guests of honor and performers at the opening of the Hard Rock San Diego hotel last week. The group actually designed one of the hotel's seventeen rock star suites.

The suite... reflects each member's individual style and unique personality, and hand selected everything from the furniture to the bed linens. Personal touches, such as a video greeting from will.i.am suggesting everything from his favorite haunts in the historic Gaslamp Quarter to choice tunes stashed in his personal music collection will be peppered throughout, creating a one-of-a-kind guest experience.

For serious Fergie fans like ourselves, the room has a framed green jumpsuit of hers signed and stuck on the wall in a glass case. Mmmm...Fergalicious! The suite can be booked by calling the hotel directly at 1-866-751-7625. It's a pricey stay at $5,000 a night but the proceeds will benefit the Black-Eyed Peas charity, The Peapod Foundation.

More pics after the jump.

Party Dispatch: The Black-Eyed Peas Get It Started at the Hard Rock San Diego

Where: 207 5th Avenue [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101

As promised, the Black Eyed Peas opened up the Hard Rock San Diego last night. The group performed all their hits from Monkey Business and Elephunk but the crowd was also treated to Will.I.Am's hit "I Got it From My Mama" and four songs from Fergie's solo album--"Clumsy," "Glamorous", "Fergalicious" and "Big Girls Don't Cry."

The crowd probably went the most crazy for the last song from Fergie and indeed it felt like we were at a sorority rush with all the girls around us singing their hearts out. However, most of the crowd was not in college. If anything the average age was at least 35+. And since last night's party was for the owners, the investors and the condo-hotel unit owners, that makes sense.

Anyways, The Peas were watched from above by the owners in suites and by guests who had hotel rooms throughout. We even caught one couple in the window jumping on the bed to the Black Eyed Peas.

More on the Hard Rock San Diego Opening will come later but for now, check out more pictures from the concert.

Pump It: Black-Eyed Peas to Host Hard Rock San Diego Hotel Opening

Where: 207 5th Avenue [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101

SNL had it right when they joked that the Black-Eyed Peas would show up at any event, although this event isn't quite the opening of a new Sonic drive-thru.

The Black-Eyed Peas will be in effect at the Hard Rock San Diego Hotel grand opening party on Dec. 10th which is fitting because they designed a suite there. And since this is a Hard Rock expect the party to be crunkin', bumpin', off the hizzy and illin' or whatever you young kids say these days. However, there is some good coming out of this debauchery.

The grand opening party will benefit the Peas' charity called the Peapod Foundation which supports innovative programs for children and focuses attention on universal needs including music/artistic education, shelter/housing and healthcare.

That said, we really hope Fergie will be there--sans the New Kids on the Block hat she rocks in the "Big Girls Don't Cry Video." Oh and if you were looking for a room that night, forget it. The place is completely and totally booked.
