In October I shared my single favorite thing about living in hotels. It's not complimentary non-fat cappuccinos and egg white omelets in the morning. It's not never having to make my own bed. It's not massive suites. Instead it's conventions. There's nothing quite as amusing to me as randomly ending up in the middle of…

Stumbled into the Stud in San Francisco on the monthly furry night. One of the best nights out I've had (I'm not one). Not surprisingly, many, many, many drinks get knocked over. The bartenders were pretty good about just replacing them. Separately, chlorine powder in the stairwell to intentionally poison people...that's some serious business. People need to not be distracted by the targets, and focus on the problem here.

all sorts of crazy happens at that hotel!
My last trip someone took the last leap of their life from the top floor in the atrium. Guys in hazmat suits were cleaning up near the check-in desk for many many hours the next day.

Furries? I suggest heading to Pittsburgh PA the weekend of July 4th.

I think it might be an annual thing there. I know that Hyatt asked SMD4 to not use that hotel (we'd used it for SMD3) because that convention was on.

^ This.

People were hospitalized and this event was only one household ingredient away from being seriously deadly. In other words it was anything but a joking matter. Yet another teachable moment squandered on meaningless click bait. Once upon a time I thought this blog might be different from all the others.

Definitely agree that this is some sinister stuff. Glad nobody was seriously injured, but what essentially amounts to a chemical weapons attack should be taken pretty seriously. Furries aren't my thing (though I accidentally went on two dates with one once), but they are people (admittedly with some layers of faux fur on top), and don't deserve to be targets of violence.
