THE Show: Newport 2015 – The Hotel Irvine

Yep..THE Show, Newport, takes place in the Hotel Irvine. But it is almost, very close to, Newport Beach.

And it sounds way cooler….

So…

The Hotel Irvine has only been open 4 months… It is quite nice. Big and modern and free internet 🙂 And Neli thinks it is the best hotel yet for THE Show 🙂 [and it is].

I think all those pipes and joints are supposed to be artistic – not vestiges of construction activity.

The self-parking parking lot is in the rear of the hotel…

The line of folks waiting to unload their gear…

One of the hallways on the first floor, with the larger rooms

Looks like MBL brought a lot of stuff to the show…

Reminds on that this is also a small car show. A Lamborghini…

More exotic cars… Funny to see cars on the carpet like this. Kind of makes them more accessible…

THE SHOW Newport 2015 – Driving through Utah from Colorado to California.

There are some spectacular natural scenes during this drive. I only caught a few of them on Camera, mostly as we left Colorado and made our way into Utah.

Green, green, green of Colorado with all the rain…

Getting close to Grand Junction…

Heading out of Colorado…

About half way driving through Utah on I-70 as we head toward I-15. Time for me to drive, so no more photos.

Awesome thing about this drive is that every 30 to 60 seconds the landscape changes into something completely different and amazing

Next stop: THE SHOW: Newport Beach

We (Neli that is) will be in room 232 with Acapella.

Below is the handout that describes the gear in the room.
