Good Gig, Baaad Hotel!!
Just played the concert in the park series in Woodburn. Played outside of the public library on an elevated cement stage in front of a very large, receptive audience. Very fun gig indeed. Met a lot of nice people. David had his folks drive down from LaCenter for the show, and Pete’s GPS system got him there without a hitch. One of the great features of this gig is our hotel.
It’s quiet.
Last night found my wife Suna and I trying to pacify Tyler (our boy) in a noisy hotel.
Okay, I’m going to digress and rant a little. NEVER stay at a Crossroads Inn!!! Just say no. I don’t know who rents in there, but we were right underneath an elephant-sized man who paced all night, very loudly, until we finally moved rooms at 6 in the morning. Loud voices, moving furniture all night, people loudly walking and yelling right above us. I went outside at one point to find a mutant he/she/it person smoking a cigarette by our room and he/she/it just sort of stared at me with beady little rodent eyes in a way that said. . . “Stay back.” In short, I think it probable we had a meth-amphetamine outfit right above us. I called the front desk on numerous occasions, and they did nothing. Big zero.
Sorry to go this route, but life in hotel rooms can be a little trying sometimes. Especially at a Crossroads Inn, where they rent studios to apparently anybody for long periods of time. I think you get a discount if you tell them you are planning on selling dangerous narcotics out of your room. I wish that David could have been there to play his pipes for our upstairs neighbors.
Ah. . .Seriously though, life on the road is very cool. Oregon (with the exception of the Crossroads Inn) is a wonderfully beautiful and mellow state, and the band and our little entourage is having some good clean fun.
Wishing you all prosperity and good tidings,
John
