miro hotel







in bilbao i stayed at the miro hotel.

would i recommend it ? heck yes. the rooms were very special and the hotel
was most excellent ( as bill s. preston esquire would say )

here's a shot from the lobby looking towards the bar area









this is a massive print on one of the walls in the bar area
nice shirt but...








naturally i found a place in the hotel bar to fire off a self-portrait
standard








best of all at the miro hotel...
... see, this is like the gemma arterton situation...
i can't say the two words i want to say.

the thing i want to say is... well, a few years ago i was sharing a room in the
gershwin hotel in new york with my friend neil while we were shooting the 
new york marathon ( and also wowing the city with our karaoke skills )

one early evening i was sitting in our room and the phone rang... it was alan batter !
in true batter style, there were no pleasantries, he just uttered the words
that have stayed with me ever since...
" mate... quick... get down to the lobby... ---- ---- ! "

now i can't very well print the two missing words uttered by alan batter
but what i'm trying to say is... the same thing that he chanced upon in the 
lobby of the gershwin hotel, well i chanced  upon it in the miro hotel too.
