Hi All,

Regarding the Costa Mesa show and its location, Gregory wrote:

He is correct. If you're taking the 405 freeway southbound
to get to the show, take the Bristol St. offramp and turn
right (south) at the light. Holiday Inn comes up right
away on your right. If you're coming northbound on the 405
(from San Diego, for instance) exit at Bristol St. (not
long after the John Wayne airport exit) and go left at
the light at the end of the offramp. The MapBlast link
below is long, but shows a map of the immediate area with
a red cross showing the location of the Holiday Inn:

For out-of-state visitors looking for a nice place to go
in the evenings for dinner or drinks, I can recommend The
Clubhouse in South Coast Plaza, just a couple blocks north
on Bristol from the Holiday Inn (opposite side of Bristol
from Anton Blvd.). The place is co-owned by Kevin Costner
and Fred Couples (and possibly a third), and is located at
the east end of South Coast Plaza (facing Bristol) next to
Robinsons/May dept. store. Decent food, large portions,
reasonably priced. Good martinis.

Cheers,
Rob
