Opening Statement:
Welcome to Today in the News... Special Report... Travel Blog. Over the course of the next 4 days I will update you on my trip to LA. However my plan is going to be a little different, the toy show I am attending will have many different vendors as well as some diorama building and products updates. So my plan for Friday and Saturday is to talk to some of these vendors and include their story into that day's writing. So let's see how it goes and have fun with it.
Thursday 3/6/2014:
Today was a travel day and after hitting the road around 530am we arrived in the area around 1230pm. Making a quick stop for a taco lunch at Freebird"s we made our way back up the 405 to the hotel. Once inside the hotel it was quick to notice the complete remodel done to the lobby, bar, restaurant area.
Another big change was this is the first year we did not have to wait for our room to be ready.
Shortly after getting our key the owners of the store we help based out of Los Gatos, CA arrived so we quickly dropped our things off so that we could help them set up the room for Friday and Saturday selling. After set up was complete (5 hours) we did some walking around to say hello to other dealers.
The weather in Irvine today was amazing. We had rain in the Fresno area that quickly turned to sun including temps going from 55 in Sacramento to 85 in San Fernando. Once we got to Irvine the temps moved into the 70's.
For dinner we went to IL Fornio this is an Italian spot that serves authentic Italian food, Amy Carabba would be proud of. We had dinner with the couple from Los Gatos, a man from England who now lives in Hong Kong, his brother and gay friend who is one of the nicest,funniest people you could meet from Chicago. The 2 of us got to talking about Chicago Fire and how often they film the show there... More than I thought.
After dinner we got back to the hotel and that was where we end the day.
What to look for tomorrow...
Show starts so will be able to attach more pictures, going to try and get a story on a company or 2 at the show.
