Photos from the YNOT Grand Prix, Barcelona 2012

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

The first event on The European Summit 2012 schedule was the YNOT Grand Prix. Sponsored by 2000Charge, this Go-Kart tour has been traveling the world, with a return visit to Barcelona. This location, Indoor Karting Barcelona, is one of the most challenging go-kart tracks in the world. I have to be honest, I would have rather been driving that photographing this event. The track looked like it would be a lot of fun to drive. (more…)

Double Decker Bus Tour of Barcelona

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

These photos were taken Monday, March 5 while sightseeing around Barcelona, Spain. The European Summit 2012 did not have anything scheduled until later in the afternoon, so Karen of Orbital Pay and I decided to take a double decker bus tour of Barcelona. I have become a recent fan of taking these tours after exploring London, Chicago and even Hollywood via bus. It is a great way to see the different areas of a city you are unfamiliar with. (more…)

Arriving in Barcelona for The European Summit 2012

These photos were taken on my flight from LAX to Barcelona and some of the sights from my first day there. The European Summit 2012(TES 2012), Barcelona began on Monday, March 5 so I headed out of LAX on Saturday morning so I could have some time to adjust to the new time zone before the show started. Arriving at 7:00 AM on Sunday, it was far too early to check in to the Hotel Barcelona Universal, so I dumped my bags off and headed over to the Hotel Miramar to see if there were any other early arrivals. No one was awake there either.

I took a few photos from around both hotels, and when the Universal allowed me to check in six hours early I jumped on it. When I awoke, I headed back to the Miramar, where the Online Dating Summit was wrapping up. There I met a few friends and we headed off to the El Born section of the city for some tapas and Spanish wine. (more…)
