Yep, my hotel room at the Radisson in Orlando got robbed with no forced entry!
Hey fellow craft beer
lovers!
What a crazy effin’ week this has been starting with the 4th
of July. I had a blast in the Sunshine State until I got robbed! Check this
out:

| My Uncle Jay at 90! |
So I drove to Fort Lauderdale with my family for my Uncle Jay’s
90th birthday and 60th anniversary with my lovely Aunt
Delores, right? We had a blast and decided to break up the long ass drive on
the way back to the ATL by hitting up Orlando for a Saturday of fun. We stayed
at the Radisson Hotel on International Drive which is super close to all the
world class attractions the city boasts (Universal Studios, Disney World, etc.).
Anyway, we asked the front desk where the cool restaurants were, putt-putt, and,
of course, the beer bars for a night cap. We went swimming and then hit the
town, including some shopping at a great pick-a-six selection inside Whole Foods (I love that place!); a
quick stop in World of Beers for pictures; fantastic grub (I got the salmon) and a 22-oz Cigar
City Jai Alai IPA at Brick House Tavern and Tap; and then some miniature golf at Pirate’s
Cove. Everything was in walking distance to my hotel, mind you.
Anyway, we get back to our room, slide in our key, enter, and see
all of our clothes thrown all over the room, bags open, and a ridiculous amount
of things missing including:
- · our laptops
- · our Canon SLR camera
- · my backup hard drive (I brought it so that I could finally find the time to relieve my computer of some serious memory space and dump photos. It also had my really gangster photography and awesome videos of my mom who passed away not too long ago.)
- · my nephew and stepson’s Playstation 3 and numerous games
- · my damn toiletries bag (really???) which included my Prilosec and super expensive CREED cologne
- · plus my 3,000 albums on my computer and hard drive (I was in the music biz for a while) and a ton of other things too long to list that are coming up daily.
The items I listed could not fit in that little ass safe so I
don’t want to hear that as a defense.
Anyway, we were never offered another room, the police were
helpful but I have yet to hear anything since, and, get this: TWO OTHER ROOMS
WERE ROBBED WITHIN THAT SAME TIME FRAME WITH NO SIGN OF FORCED ENTRY AND WE ALL HAD 'DO NOT DISTURB' SIGNS ON THE DOOR!
Sounds
weird to you? Inside job looks like the smartest assumption, right? I will not
let this sh*t get swept under the rug. They don’t know who they are messing
with. Radisson better come correct. That’s all I have to say. So far, I have
not been impressed with the urgency.
Anyway, I am here, maintaining my duty as an informant on anything
hot going on in Atlanta and beyond, so tomorrow I am launching a list of things
you might want to strongly consider checking out if you are in Georgia’s
capital for the month of July.
Oh, and thank you so much for checking the blog out daily. I
love y’all for real! Stay with me. I got you covered.
Ale
