A deaf couple check into a motel. They retire early. In the middle of the night, the wife wakes her husband complaining of a headache and asks him to go to the car and get some aspirin from the glove compartment. Groggy with sleep, he struggles to get up, puts on his robe, and goes out of the room to his car. He finds the aspirin, and with the bottle in hand he turns toward the motel. But he cannot remember which room is his. After thinking a moment, he returns to the car, places his hand on the horn, holds it down, and waits. Very quickly the motel rooms light up, all but one. It’s his wife’s room, of course. He locks up his car and heads toward the room without a light.

Hi Gang!!

One of the things that makes the MOTEL BIZARRE project so special is the fact that the work is not only fun it is also educational! It’s true, the book MOTEL BIZARRE is chocked full of useful information that the whole family can enjoy!

Take for example the following set of photographs shown here. Let’s play compare and contrast, shall we?

Would you believe that both photo’s are of the same motel? The first photograph is an actual vintage postcard circa 1960. It was given to me by the new owner of the Maple Motel, Mr. Rakesh A. Maiseria, before he told me to get the hell off of his property or he was going to call the cops. Notice how clean the the property appears, the carefully attended to shrubbery, the awesome eye-catching sign, the hot ride parked out front….

Now look at the second photograph. This lovely photo will be appearing in the MOTEL BIZARRE book. I was able to snap it before I “got the hell off of the property.”

You can tell it’s the same place. It has the same name, the same telephone booth, the same cool 50’s awning. Yet something has changed.

What terrible fate caused this to happen to the once prosperous establishment? We may never know… Just let your mind wander… Now that’s the essence of MOTEL BIZARRE in practice.

Now go out and create something!!

XOXOXOX!
