An Open Letter to the Austin Doubletree Hotel
Dear Doubletree,
Thanks for giving us at least 30 cookies last week. We can’t believe that you have a warming drawer behind your front desk just to keep the chocolate chips gooey. And thanks for having a nice shuttle driver who is in a band called “Schlongdaddy” (who play some rap, some punk stuff, some country…but the one thing that ties it all together…it’s ALL nasty). Thanks for not caring about the fact that there were obviously at least 7 people staying in a room reserved for one. Thanks for not kicking Doyle out of the lobby for his outrageous face paint and neon glasses. NO THANKS to the lady that used the last 2 cups for coffee in the morning even though she only needed one. I hope your extra insulation was worth the price of my sad empty hands. But that’s not really the Doubletrees fault. Anyway, Doubletree, you are top notch. And you didn’t charge us for parking.
love,
The A-Sides

I also stayed at the Doubletree for SXSW - those cookies rocked.
I met one of you in said shutter bus (drummer - sorry, dont know names).
Anyway, i tried emailing info@a-sides.net but my mail’s coming back returned. Wanted to know if you’re planning on coming to the UK in the near future? x
