hey, last weekend after the Con, my friends and i decided to journey to leonardo to see all of those sights that we know and love, and we stayed at the leonardo motel. if you've never stayed there, consider yourself lucky, because it's pretty creepy. the setup of this palce is similar to that of the "Bates Motel" in psycho, the only difference being a kitchenette and better access to roads and other businesses. we checked in at roughly midnight, and it was raining (so the mood for creepiness was set). after checking in to room 8 (there was no way in hell i was staying in room number 1. i didn't want anyone to find my chubby naked ass all stabbed up in the shower), we found to small lamps which didn't light the room nearly enough to provide any comfort, a tv, with no cable (unheard of in the motel industry, i assure you) that had either been melted or had something thrown at the screen, and a bathroom so small you couln't even sit on the john with your knees in front of you because it was too small. besides all of that it was creepy, not just shottier than the knights inn we stayed at the night before. the next morningwe were awakened by an unprovoked fire alarm going off in our room. i realize this is kind of a pointless post, but seriously, stay there some rainy night, it's pretty creepy. reply if you've ever stayed there
