“I’d like him a lot
"I'd like him a lot better if he was mowing my lawn."
Motherfucker. I am an idiot. I called and bought my plane ticket this morning for going back to the Springs on Wednesday. It was roughly double the price of my ticket earlier this month due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I expected that, so no big deal. I called to make my hotel reservations and the hotel was almost sold out. Jason and I were running late to pick up Sean in Venice and go to lunch at Typhoon (at the Santa Monica airport), so I hung up with the intention of calling when we returned to the house and completing my reservation. Big mistake. The hotel was completely booked when I called back. I didn't expect that. There are other hotels in Colorado Springs that aren't the $1200.00 a night the Broadmore is asking yet still nice... they just require driving to work. When I am there, they hook me up with a phat company car, so the ability to drive is not the issue... the issue revolves around the weather outlook being poor and me not wanting to have to drive. Fuck it. I've decided that I'm just going to show up and find a place when I get there... if all else fails, I still have my homeless buddies to hook me up at the shelter ;-). Heh. Umm... so Jason and I spent part of the afternoon at a music store near his house. I found this unbelievable guitar that I couldn't seem to put down... the California Girl DM-33 metal body Dobro. I love this guitar. Anyone wanna give me the two grand and change for this baby as an early Christmas present? Maybe all the guy bloggers out there could do a "Dick for Dobro" campaign and that guitar could be mine. Umm... yeah... that's the ticket. Just kidding. You know, I have seen a lot of the LA area and I think that the Santa Monica niche has been my favorite so far. I'd like to come back when I have more time. Jason is somewhat of a gourmet cook and Sean is meeting us at Jason's for a specially prepared meal this evening. We've already started depleting the unopened bottles in the well stocked wine rack taking up a large chunk of kitchen space. I don't want to go just yet... I'd like to stay for a while and take some more in... just a few days. Conversely, I am looking forward to seeing my new friends again in Colorado Springs... especially ErinLynn. I don't get back to Houston until late tomorrow... almost midnight. I have to be back at the airport at 8:30 the following morning. Ugh!! ...just another night with little sleep... at least I'll be able to sleep in the limo on the way to the airport and not have to stay up to guide Houston's invariably incompetent taxi driver's along the way. I hope all of Charlie's Angels are doing great this week. Charlie is discombobulated, but doing fine.

"We’re here, Charlie. We’re fine, Charlie.”
I am jazzed because I just found out that I am getting a brand-shiny-spanking-new set of mics for Christmas! Santa Claus musta liked the brownies I left last year....
not seriously $1200 a night? flippin ‘eck…
hey… i can’t afford to stay there…
it’s really swank though…
Ah, Charlie, the perks of business travel. ;-)
Showing up at the hotel works for the most part if you are not company with a party of tena nd needing 5 rooms! Just in case, have another place booked. You may have to stay a night or 2 elsewhere. $1200 a night, that’s fuck’n, aye. See ya when you get back.
