BREW Fest and Huey Lewis and the News, Balboa Park, San Diego, California - 2nd June 2005
The official BREW Developer Conference 2005 party is taking place in the Hall of Sporting Legends in Balboa Park. The venue has been converted into various themed nightclubs with DJs, chill-out room, karaoke room, cocktail bars and more food than you can shake a stick at. For entertainment, Qualcomm has laid on the legendary Huey Lewis and the News, so Nosher and Nick - fans from back in the day - bunked out of the party early so we could be right up at the front to see the 80s legends.

Marc and Stef
A fancy room in the Manchester Grand Hyatt
Nick gives the 'can I have some more' look
A seafood paella on the go
The main room, as seen from the balcony
Stef gets a drink
A good slug of tequila is poured
A massive wok and some mange tout
Stef and Marc Nijdam chat to people
Schmoozing
A cocktail in a tall glass
The cocktail-bar girls
The party fills up
Funky party lighting is switched on
The BREW icon dances around
The DJ, up in his booth
Spotlights light up the room
Huey Lewis
Huey takes a photo
Harmonica action
It's hip to be square, or something
The guitar dude
A saxaphone solo
There's an acapella moment
Huey Lewis and the News
More action on a Stratocaster
Huey Lewis can still jump around
It's the dawn of mobile phone photos at gigs
The gig is over
Huey Lewis and band take a bow
Huey says hello to the crowds
Back in the Hall of Sporting Legends
A yellow glitter ball
Disco dancing
The glitter ball does its thing
Joel, who we knew from Motorola, and his wife
Nick croons along to Eagles' 'Take it Easy' on the karaoke
The overtly ostentacious lobby of the monster Hyatt hotel
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
