Yeah, guess I coulda saved a lot trouble if I'd called you guys before I left LA, but the whole trip was such a last minute thing and I was so excited... hell, before I knew it Jason and I were on the bus. Anyway, after we'd missed both of our screenings, we decided to make the most of where we were, which wasn't so bad after all... here's a pic of the motel we stayed at. Believe it or not we had this whole place to ourselves...
There's also a cool place to eat called the Durango Inn... great Bar B Q pork and plenty of cold beer, so Jason and I pretty much had all a guy needs when he's lost in Texas. And the local Durango law enforcement are a pretty decent bunch, just don't pee on their sacred indian artifacts, they take that stuff pretty serious. (I swear it looked like an old bathtub out back of the Durango Inn and NOT a pre-columbian, native american, armadillo jerky oven). BTW - did you know that Durango Texas used to be called West Falls, and according to local lore the town changed its name to Durango like a hundred years ago when a drunken cowboy who had recently returned from Mexico insisted that he was in Durango Mexico. Kinda makes a guy think... if that cowboy had come from up north instead of Mexico, that town just might've changed its name to Tulsa instead of Durango and I just might've made it to Colorado, maybe...Anyway, thanks again for showing the movie.
