Cleaned out!? Wow. I would've never thought this stuff would've gone so fast.

Aw crap, I was hoping to snag a dresser and/or a nightstand. And maybe a bunch of "Do Not Disturb" doorknob hangers.

Yeah, they had a hundred TVs, dressers, chairs, etc. etc. but I heard it was all gone within the first hour. We ended up with a coffeemaker and a nice coffee table though.

I prefer Budweiser Doodoo brown.........it's, um, deeper and richer.

Damn, I'm sorry I missed it. Doodoo brown is one of my colors.

Okay, I admit it. I jumped on this and headed out to the convention center. Got there at 3pm, and the place was CLEANED OUT like it got looted. The only things left were pillow cases (see comment above) some used coffee makers, odd-shaped doodoo brown throw pillows, some glassware and few other odds and ends. The guy in charge told me most everything was sold within the first hour.

I just forwarded this link to a co-worker. I'm hoping the email filter doesn't freak out when it sees me forwarding a link called "glam_up_your_ho.php"

I wouldn't recommend buying linens, definitely. But a television? I think that's safe.

Am I the only one who would think twice about buying linens from a hotel? Or, for that matter, anything ...
