And on the return from Blackwater

Posted by David Hardy · 28 August 2008 09:28 AM

Before returning, I head to DC for a business matter, and stay in a three story motel in Arlington VA. Tuesday morning I'm awakened by a lot of engines running outside, sound of people walking around and talking. At first I thought it was construction ... but in a hotel at 6 AM? So I open my door and see this. (Click on the image for a bigger one).
Firemen said some guy on the third floor (one above me) had flipped out and set fire to his bed. They contained it and saw no need to evacuate everyone. The hotel is concrete, and with open halls and steps it's one gigantic fire escape anyway. After a morning of shoot houses, it took more than this to wake me up, so I went down for some coffee.

That guy was pissed off you didn't invite him to the shoot! ;^)

Dude, can't your clients afford to put you up in the Mayflower or someplace nice? Or, if you want to try a place that is kind of interesting (in a tastefully Austin Powers kind of way) you might try this one: http://www.rougehotel.com/

This is actually the first hotel in which I noticed a thing called an "Intimacy Kit" in the honor bar in the room. It reminded me of that scene in "Dr. Strangelove" where Major T. J. Kong (Slim Pickens) reads through the contents of the B-52 survival kit (which includes $100/gold, $100/rubles, a condom, and a .45 "autermatic") and says something like: "a feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all this stuff."
