remember the alamo

Thursday, June 4, 2009
i'm typing this from the middle of a plush king sized bed while watching conan o'brien's monologue.

i just ate a late dinner at a restaurant called 'the texan'.

i've seen carpet with cowboy hats, horseshoes and cactus'.

there's a lazy river outside my window.

to my right is a leather bound chair and ottoman that smells of rich mahogany.

to my left is this:


yee-haw! ride um cowboy.

i think it's safe to assume that i'm not in cleveland anymore.


goodbye ohio, hello texas.

grapevine, texas to be exact, for a client convention - and i've shacked up at the gaylord texan hotel and convention center.

focker!

get it? gaylord? get it?

(crickets)

yeah, that was a pretty bad joke - i'll stop - i have a sexy cowboy (or indian) to find.


p.s. could i have been anymore stereotypical in my texas comments? i think not.

I heard it through the grape vine...

that picture is awesome. I wonder if I can get one just like it if I call the hotel.

Mandy said...

If you find a cowboy, you know what the saying is right? Everything's bigger in Texas..... I'm just sayin.

shine said...

It's cool. We like stereotypes in Texas. It's what we're all about.

I work at a Texas-themed restaurant on weekends and if you think that hotel is bad, you should see this place. Ha.

The only thing you're missing is a W reference.

Marie said...

If you see W, don't take a picture because your camera might shatter into a million pieces.

Also, let me know if they carry around guns in a holster, wear cowboy hats and boots all the time.

How's that for stereotyping?

f.B said...

stereotypical... or dead-on-balls accurate? i wonder.
