Saturday Night at the Kingsgate Marriott

Saturday night, a group of friends had a post Rat-a-Tat(who played at Bogarts) party at the Kingsgate Marriott in Cincinnati... what looked like a party bound for being busted turned out to be one of the best times I've had at a hotel in a long time. After a couple of complaints by the neighbors, the night concierge offered us the first floor lobby to have our party. We were escorted to a deserted lounge/lobby area with tvs, hallways to explore, and a back plaza to smoke and play on. They brought us trash cans and a rolling bucket with ice for our beers. We were never asked to keep it down, and we were treated amazingly!!



We found a pitcher full of spoons and created our own symphony (inspired by Ethan's "Playing Spaces"). Debauchery all around and great times. At another point we created our own version of hotel jousting: picture kneeling on the seat of a rolling office chair while someone else propels you towards your opponent, your shield is a large wait-staff serving tray, and your sword is a pair of spatula-shaped tongs.
