Edgy in the Relax Inn

I woke up this morning to the incessant ring of the telephone in our room, it seems a little odd that you put a do not disturb sign on your door, and they disturb you by phone, it was 2 hrs before check out time so I ignored it. I got up, took a shower and answered the door, a portly East Indian man asked me if we were staying another night, I said "no, we are checking out, check out time is noon right?" "yes" he said, and I closed the door, by the time I took a step away, he knocks again, I answer and he says "I need to get something from your room." he already had his keys out, he was going to get what he needed from our room whether or not he had our consent, so he scoots by me, opens the fridge, and pulls out 3 coors lights and walks out, leaving 9 more in there, now forgive me if I am crazy but If I was going to stash beer somewhere it would not be in a customers fridge, and if I needed to disturb the customer 2 hrs before check out time to get a beer at 10 am, I think I might have a problem. So that is how our day started. We then drove the rest of the way to Atlanta and Ian went to the doctor to get stool softener put in his head, no kidding, if you want to know more ask Ian on his interact page, heh heh. I hung out at Eddie's Attic until show time, we played an interesting show, we had a retarded meth head screaming comments between each song about how he was an elephant, and nothing was going to stop him from mating with another elephant. After the show we went to get something to eat at the only open food establishment in the neighborhood, Taco Mac, a buffalo wing joint, Yay, we ate and checked into our "Dive of The Evening" the lovely downtown styling of the Relax Inn, featuring cigarette burned carpet and sink and toilet and tub and creative use of plaster, so i will dream away with the roaches and rats as the freight train deposits another hobo in the parking lot. Good Night.
