Shortly after Hot Import Nights Orlando, the beginning of a the JADE 10 tour kicks off. The Jade Crew travels to the Big Apple to see what New England has to offer. New York City is known for the party and nightlife, and we weren't disappointed. The official HIN pre-party was at Club Worth, and was hosted by the PM Girls. The after-party was held at Jade Terrace and had Tracy Nova and Jenny Chu go-go dancing. So the parties weren't a question.

HIN NightShift was not a disappointment either. We were able to catch up with our old friend Eddie Farcon, who was representing New Image Motorsports. FIZZ brought a nice variety of AWD turbo cars, including a RHD Impreza GC8. Sean Kingston performed his hit Beautiful Girls on the Mazda Mainstage. In the NOS Energy Drink Model Central was our friends and future Jade Girl features, Miss HIN Guam Dearheart and Apple Somoza. At the Juiced 2 booth, we found Tracy Nova and Corissa Furr. We just don't know if it was the show itself, or the weather that was hot... I wouldn't bet on the weather!

Congratulations to all of the winners at the show, and thanks to all of our fans and supporters! Thank you also for showing your love by wearing our "JADE 10" stickers! Until the next time, we'll see you in Chicago and LA!
