OH! The People you meet at hotels!

I am going to start a blog called, 'OH!The People you meet in hotels!' and the background of the blog will be the cover of Oh! The Places you'll go. It will be a laugh riot because I have met some interesting  folks during my tour of duty in Broadcast syndication. I have a collection of Marriot pens, I never unpack and I have funny stories.

Last night, I had the rare pleasure of not travelling alone and I had a teammate with me. After a glass of wine while we wrote our daily report, we decide to hit the bowling alley in the basement of the hotel. Yes, I said bowling in the basement. There are 5 lanes and a martini bar downstairs.  So, we start bowling and the table of three guys and one girl starts chatting with us while we bowl and they watch a never ending Hockey game.


Here is some sample dialogue: J is me, HG is hotel guest.
HG: What do you do ?
J: I work for Entertainment Studios
HG: Entertainment huh, Do you produce and work in porn ?
J: I have never gotten that question before and no, we keep it G Rated.
We have daytime court shows, sitcoms and children's E/I shows.
HG: Ah, court shows.  Who is the hot blonde judge ?
J: Uh, do you mean Cristina Perez
HG: Yes!
J: That's our show

Things I have learned:
1) I guess this is why I will stick with saying I work in Broadcast Media or that I just sell shows to TV stations. When men hear the word Entertainment with work, they immediately think of Porn. WTH.
2) I need to start selling the sex appeal of Justice for All with Cristina Perez better.
3) This can lead to another blog entitled, 'Reasons I am still single'. Reason #45 being this is the type of Men I am meeting at home and on the road ... clearly porn and pointing out hot women is not an ideal conversation starter for someone you are looking for potential interest. 
4) Never take advantage of the hotel bar wine discount when you have a 9am important meeting. Well, I guess I already knew that lesson but gentle reminders are good.
