So I went to AC this weekend for work. My boss was like "I got everyone rooms at days inn". Oh joy. Upon check in a crackhead asked me to spell 211. I said 2 1 1. He said no I need the letters cause i'm writing a text, hahahahahaha. Next while I was gone a rat or a mouse or something ripped apart the powdered creamer packets and ate it while I was working. It looked like someone was snorting blow off of the desk and thats what I thought until I saw the teeth marks in the packets. To add to the sleeplessness of this place there was a ghetto party on my floor every night. Thanks boss, im glad you are only my boss 4 days a yr at the boat show. The only good thing was I found a really cool irish bar in walking distance. Anyone else have any turd hotel or ****ty travel stories for a laugh?
was put up at a super 8 outside of ocean city md... bed bugs after playing a show... wait even better story now that I type this.... Back in my prime of music playing I got asked to platy some weird gigs... this one took the cake. There was a new hotel built in OCMD and the owners were having an auction for each condo/room. They hired me to play acoustic music in one of the model condos that people were passing through and looking at in the evening. Lots of nice food and drinks... all you can drink kind of drinks. The fancy kind. They also hired me to play in between bidding the next morning at the auction. I pretty much blacked out on whiskey and smoked salmon. Things I remember from the night include a chick that was managing these tours also getting drunk and trying so hard to get with me and my buddy. Apparently (I dont remember) she showed a tattoo she had on her ass that said "exit only"... the best part was the wrestling match w my buddy/ smashing beer bottles on the ground outside of my condo along with other mess. I knew there was swell in the morning so I got up and went outside early; saw the broken bottles and was like "Wtf? Whatever..." went surfing and had a blast by myself all hungover. Come back to the condo after the sesh and the owners are flipping out on me. They were showing the room we stayed in and destroyed at like 8am without telling us. Lots of things that shouldn't be seen laying out but they never told us to have it clean by 8am. I get to the auction and the owners are reaming us out. Eastern shore yokels saying things like "you boys look tired" and "you guys had a great time by the looks of it last night"... but we held to our end of the bargain, got paid and left.... the things I have done for a few bucks....
BWM that is a funny story I find it surprising that the condo owner assumed a musician would want guests at 8am.
Thanks Hanna!! I have to go there and stay over twice a yr once for the winter boat show and once for the in summer for the in water boat show. The in water I work for myself so the room comes out of my pocket and its my choice. I will definitely look that up when the next show comes around.
hanna is he diddling the customers? I hear couchsurfing basically turned into a meat market and I could see airbnb having similar qualities....
Coco Beach Fla. or there abouts. Think it was called The Satellite Inn. 1980's. Green bud in cobwebb in the corner of the room was there (the bud not me) for years. First road trip at sixteen yrs. old saw two "ladies" get in a knife fight in the hallway. Blood, gore and cops. New symrna Beach Fla. stayed in a room for a week for 20 bucks because owner and managers all went to jail in a drug bust hours before we checked in. They threw the keys to a kid who had been working there for about two weeks. GOOD times! When I traveled with a band some of the places we called would be suprised someone wanted to stay all night. We didn't stay at those places.
Yes. Casa Verde in Puntas PR. The night of the Corona event. Reggaeton music pumping and insanity going on until 4 AM. I booked the lower level room right next to the bar. Bad bad move, but frosty air conditioning. It was a last minute trip, so that's what I deserved. I drove from San Juan to Rincon because I couldn't get a flight into Aguadilla. It was like a full-on marathon travel day and I didn't sleep the night before. When I got to Puntas, the party was just starting and all i wanted to do was sleep. I stared at the ceiling in and out of consciousness all night and woke up to a scream or a bottle being smashed every 20 mins. Weyyyyyy-paaaa!
it can be fairly eye opening to witness how many walking, talking human viruses there are...walking dead for reals
AC got slammed again today....revel. my take? a scrap guy is gonna get it.... then scoot town w/the $$. uptown is an urban train wreck.
Just googled it. Apprently the guy who had a deal to buy it backed out at the last minute midnight last night. Didn't sign.
