Was going to start another blog but knew I better finish this one first. I actually made a list of titles for upcoming blogs, so be forewarned.
Ok, so we're at this amazing 4 star hotel. It felt like coming home because we are use to staying in 4 & 5 star hotels and getting the VIP treatment. It's just been awhile. Following the comedy dream doesn't warrant any of that stuff. You stay in an icky Motel 5 1/2..not even a 6!! You have to find your own paper and pen to write your own "do not disturb" sign. I could go on and on but I did that already in a blog back in July 2006.
On to the cool stuff. So we had our wine and snacks delivered to our adjoining rooms. We had a REAL balcony with a table and 4 chairs that over looked the gorgeous pool. Oh yea! I breathed deeply in the air of a REAL hotel room! Let it seep into my cells! Candy on the pillow. Now that's what I'm talking about!
BUT! Look at the time! I had to get ready for what?? A comedy show! How the hell did I score these accommodations on a comic's salary?? My salary is about $2,700 a year!! And that's on a good year! That's right! Not a night, or a week, or a even a month!!...yet. But a year!!
It's called manifestation baby! The Secret, The Law Of Attraction! It's also called my friend having a helluva lot of Marriott rewards!! Like 200,000 worth so 60,000 for 2 rooms was no probs.
So we go to our show and had a great time. Everyone had a great time. Some teaching and healing occurred as well as laughter. That's what I love about our show. You get it ALL! The owner wants us back again only he wants to get a bigger space that holds 75. He said we are a hot commodity! Very cool! I like that. Now if I could only get a few more people to buy into that! We couldn't wait to leave tho and get back and take advantage of our hotel accommodations. So I kept a close eye on the time.
We get back to the hotel and the kids were at the glorious pool. My son 15 and Tammy's 16yr.old daughter and 11 yr.old son. We grab our suits and wine and go down to the pool to cool off in the 90 something temps. It's Palm Desert after all. Don't mind swimming at 10p.m. when it's dark & empty. My legs are like a neon light in the dark anyways. We swam, and by swam I mean walked around in the pool, sat in the hot tub, well, didn't do that one for long then back in the pool. We snuck down wine glasses in a shirt, which I told the kids to be careful and not to sit on it. I found plastic cups by the pool, got 2 then sat down.....right on the shirt with the wine glass! DOH! Thought I was gonna have glass on my ass but the shirt saved me! YAY!
Then it was time to go back to the room for room service. Worked up quite the appetite performing, swimming, and breaking glass. The food was great. I love getting room service, it makes me feel rich.
Breakfast the next morning was great. It's always great when it's free and pool side in the shade. After breakie the kids and Tammy went in the pool again. We got a late check out. I don't do pool in the daylight because 1. There's too many people there. 2. I don't do sun. I must be part vampire or sumthin. and 3. my suit was wet and a bit tight to begin with so there was no way I was getting it over my ass again! (Note to self, must stay on tread mill longer...ok and ditch the cookies, geez ur tough) So I just take in the rich atmosphere of the surroundings. The beautiful mountains, the warm to hot breeze, the water fall into the pool. Of course PB is in the room napping. Thought about "interrupting" his nap *wink wink* But by the time I thought of it, it was too late. How married am I??
As we were waitng for Tammy to pull up I saw someone come out who looks familiar, I'm on my phone with a another friend while I notice this guy. And sure enough it is who I think it is "Spence" from King Of Queens, Patton Oswalt. I couldn't take a pic because I was on the phone and didn't want to just hang up and be rude to use my camera phone. I know, unlike me. Then Patton gets into a crappy black Hyundai or Ford, I mean it looked like an older one, not even newer, that belonged to a friend I guess. I'm also guessing he ain't sharing the wealth then and buying his friends new cars. It can't be his car, I mean c'mon he has to have some coinage to afford a nice car. For chrissakes I drive a Lexus RX300 and I only make $2,700 a year if I'm lucky!! He drives away b 4 I can make a total ass outta myself by saying something stupid like "Hey I'm a comedian too!" Like he hasn't heard that one b 4. The Gods were smiling on me...and Patton.
As we drive away we take a deep breath one more time to remember our excellent night in luxury. Then we go to the casino that's on the way home. I lost $20 but Tammy won $20. Yea, I shoulda been chanting and rubbing the slot machine like she was. Lesson learned.
SO yea, I decided that that's how I want to travel from now on, struggling comic or not!! I want to travel and stay in luxury because....THAT'S JUST HOW WE ROLL!!
