suite 216, the seneca that's where i picked up my media credential today. shannon opened the door, and it was great to see her in person. she gave me my credential - as usual, a tiny piece of laminated cardboard with my photo - and a tag. the suite was indeed sweet - a cozy, private, corner room that looked smaller than it really was, with a sofa and three bedrooms. "this is the first time actually that i've seen this room," shannon laughed. i turned around and in walked two men with an accent clearly not american.

"hello, we need a car to take us back to our hotel," they politely said, clearly not knowing where they were. ahahahaha. if you want to impress important people at night, michigan avenue in the early evening is where you take them. their hotel must be somewhere along that road.

suite 216 at hotel seneca is the chicago international film festival's hospitality suite. i could have had european beer, nutella and biscuits, sour cream dip and bread if i wanted to, ahahaha. but i took my credential, wondered at the filmmakers who walked in, and left right away. ahahaha. imma nerd like that. i should have at least asked who the guys were! ;-P  ¶ 10/13/2005 09:48:00 PM
