Fort Worth trip - anecdote #2
Ok, I've got to get myself out of this depressive, pissed off funk I've been in for days now because of this spoiler crap.
So enough of this. I've made my stand and expressed my opinion several times now and I'm done. I want to get back to something remotely happy, so how 'bout another funny SPN related anecdote from my Texas trip? Because I'm bummed that the excitement and euphoria I was feeling has nearly faded due to all the drama on LJ now.
Since this whole Texas trip was my idea to begin with, I took care of booking the airfare, hotel and rental car and theater tickets. All charityflint had to do was show up. :-) But now I bet she's wishing she would've booked the hotel. :-)
I tried getting a room at a hotel right down in Fort Worth, but I thought they were too expensive and I was trying not to spend a fortune on this trip. So I went through hotels.com and found a Best Western only 4 miles from the theater with extremely reasonable rates. Perfect!
Now I've stayed at Best Westerns countless times across the midwest and eastern parts of the country during my childhood and young adult vacations and they were always just fine.
I had found the exception in Fort Worth.
I kid you not, it was like walking into a hotel set on Supernatural. *bg* Sam and Dean would've felt right at home! This place was just bad. From the peeling wallpaper to the cracked tiles in the bathroom to the sink that backed up and the toilet that would barely flush to the tacky bedspreads and carpeting. Yep, I should've booked the reservation under Winchester instead. :-)
But that's not even the half of it! 'Cause guess what? THERE WAS A CEMETERY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT!
I freaking kid you not. An actual cemetery! Charity took pictures! We about died (ha, ha) when we saw it. Could you just imagine Dean finding out there was a cemetery in the parking lot? He'd be like a little kid on Christmas. LOL!
Thank god we found something to laugh about, otherwise we'd have cried. :-)
So I dare somebody to top that as a hotel experience!
