The Experience: HTC Rihanna 777 Tour NYC

To celebrate the  release of her 7th album Unapologetic, HTC partnered with Rihanna to present a world tour concert series, the 777 Tour. Rihanna performed 7 concerts in 7 locations around the globe all in 7 days and of course she saved the best for last, NYC baby! I was lucky enough to be sponsored by HTC to attend the concert on 11/20 and also received an HTC EVO 4G LTE to help me document the experience. It all went down something like this…

I took my cousin Jade along and we started out the night in the company of some members of the HTC team along with other cool peeps at The Smith in the East Village for food and drinks. The food was really good. I had the fish and chips special while Jade had a burger. We also sampled other appetizers over the course of the night including some very tasty calamari and some baked pretzels that were out of this world.

We ate, mingled and had a good old time all while playing around with some of the latest HTC phones.

The concert was around the corner at Webster Hall. When we arrived, we snapped some pics on the HTC Green Carpet and was able to listen to some of  Rihanna’s new music from the album. I’m digging what I’ve heard so far. Here are a few more pics that I snapped with the EVO 4G LTE…

This phone is pretty cool. It takes great pics and music sounds awesome with the beats audio. We then jammed to some tunes by DJ Reflex and met some new people while we waited for Rih to perform…

It got really packed really quick and we started to get a bit impatient but Rihanna came on around 11ish and it was well worth the wait, she did the damn thing. I loved every minute of it. Check out the slideshow to see some shots of her performing, she is just as gorg in person…

Rihanna gave away a custom HTC One X with the “Rihanna R” and city name at every concert. So glad I was able to experience Rih in person. She seems pretty cool and down to earth like the girl next door and I just  love how she keeps it real and not change herself for no one. Keep doing your thing girl.  Once again it was an amazing night and congrats to Rihanna on her 7th album!
