Bills and Booz, Ya Know
FOUND by Nichole Smith in Santa Cruz, California
This was found in the Fitzgeralds hotel stuck outside of the neighboring room. We took it down once the times mentioned had passed because it was just too perfect to leave behind and the maids would have removed it anyway. There was some loud pounding that morning; it woke me up in the next room.

Slowly going in sane
Sandy knows, I guess. This whole social circle must function under heavily influenced circumstances.
Unless the writer has two very loud parrots.

Wait a minute...if the writer didn't hear the pounding on the door, how do they know Sandy was at the door? Hmmm...pills & booz? Or is that just a convenient excuse?

Vicod in and Jack... yummy!
This guy ( I think it's a guy ) is a real keeper!
And I'm glad that Nichole explained how she waited and saved it from maid service.Now we don't have to worry about the found posse comin' to town.

Janice abhors being in articulate
Wow, I really misread it the first time through. I thought he(?) was apologizing for not HEAVING her at the door. I didn't think that was something she would be upset about.

nadine in and out
So where are they going? Baldwin's, maybe? Anyone from the area know?

This sounds like Sandy was picked up at the hotel bar. The guy had her room number but not her phone number, and wanted her to leave it with the front desk, and meet him at Baldwins. Pills & Booz was the bar's name. I guess Sandy wasn't interested in him. Can't say I blame her. Creepy Stalker.

"We're going to Baldwin's(?)". So you mean more than one person in the room didn't hear the pounding on the door, but the neighbor did? I don't know, sounds fishy to me.

From now on "pills and booze" is going to be my excuse for everything. Late for work, no dinner made, didn't pay bill on time, rambling posts on Found (sarasara)etc.. Oh wait, I already use that excuse.

Yeah, the Baldwin's always have the best parties.

Pills and booze, ya know, can't find my phone number either.

i think Baldwin's is a combination pharmacy/liquor store. and maybe the reason they knew Sandy came pounding on the door was because she left them a nasty note under the door WITHOUT her phone #. can't blame her

I agree with Pepper, I now have a brand new excuse FOR EVERYTHING.... I am laughing my ass off at "Pills and Booze"... classic!

No Pepper, Mona Lisa uses that excuse for you.

oh, Norma Jean (if that is your name) I make no excuses for pepper.
and its pills and booz, people... booz.

out of all the baldwin's, i think i'd rather party with Alec. (well, except for the swearing at his kid part. No phone for you, Alec.)

Maybe Sandy was tryin to stop them from spiraling down a life of pills and booze and they just didn't "hear her" hmmmm I am bored at work maybe I should partake in some pills and booze :P But then again I do like my job :)

Why does the title of the 'found' say Bills and booz? The note clearly says Pills and Booz.

Janice - I also thought it said "heaving" upon first read, and wondered if he(she?it?) meant heaving as in throwing somthing heavy, or as in vomiting (which is my experience with pills & booz, ya know).

I wonder if Sandy got mad at them later, and they were all "Didn't you find out note?" and she was all "What note? You're such a liar! You ditched me AGAIN!"

Also, the hotel is in Reno but Nichole is in Santa Cruz. So she found it in Reno? I am confussed.

(bathroom wall spelling, have to spell it like that)

KC, I thought it said heaving too.

reading too much in to things, as usual
Somehow it struck me funny that the Finder is (very close to Anna) Nichole Smith, and the topic is pills and booz.
+ December 04, 2007 11:58 AM +
not laughing in somberville
Reading too much, how is that funny? A daughter lost her mother to a tragedy. Just because the name is similar doesn't mean that there should be humor found in that. I'm sorry, just a little defensive at the moment. I didn't admire ANS but I don't think her death in any way compared to the finders name and the title is funny.

pills and booz. wow. glad I missed out on that growing up. I like to be able to hear people pounding on my door. especially in a hotel. ya never know when there is gonna be a fire.

mona lisa in the louvre
'not laughing', calm down. "reading too much' said it struck him/her kind of funny. Maybe not funny ha ha, but funny weird, odd, strange. ANS did drink, and take drugs, to excess. That's a fact. I don't think its her death that compared to the finder's name, but the name itself. Nicole Smith is two thirds of ANS. That's pretty darn close. And no one is saying it wasn't a tragedy.

Naw, I think this is a girl - not a guy writing the note. And from the penmanship, she is apparently still on pills and/or "booz". Ya know.

Pepper in your anus
Calm down not laughing, she was nothing but an Elvis, Michael, and Marilyn with too many yes men (shame). Plus, reading makes a good point.

saerasara in yeah, i prefer to blame it on the pills, the needles, the blow
thanks pepper, i'll be using that excuse from here on out as well.

...and, Mona and Pepper, good points, my dears...

I found it interesting also that it was close to ANS, I am not insensitive to a daughter losing her mother in anyway considering I have two girls myself, but ANS was the one that abused the drugs and did all that crap to herself so the real tragedy in that is that she had such disregard for her daughter, who knows she may be better off without an influence like Anna Nicole in her life, she may have a fighting chance..... just my P.O.V

Sorry I couldn't come to the door, Bills and Pooz, you know, it's what comes after Pills and Booz.

Hey Turbo, I was just in Tulsa, but I didn't see you. I was hoping to see you at Hide-a-ways (sp?) pizza. Maybe next time.
+ December 04, 2007 06:14 PM +
Pepper in your nose
Utahchick you're probably right, although everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the bad parents or unfortunate events shape us into better people. The school of hard knocks can have its advantages.
+ December 04, 2007 06:21 PM +
I'll just rema in nameless
I Wonder if This person writes Like That All the Time or just Under the influence Of Pills And booz?

Sorry about that Pepper, but I was doing stuff. I don't frequent Hideaway. It's not that great. I think I am the only person I know who hasn't worked there. But I do live on Cherry Street. Maybe I almost hit you with my car ; )

This defiately looks like a female's handwriting. They're prolly two girl friends having a vacation in Reno (which is prolly what the finder might have been in Reno for). The writer of the note prolly hooked up w/someone hence the "were (should prolly be we're) going". She prolly ditched Sandy and Sandy was pounding on the door 'cause she was pissed that she'd have to rent another room or sleep in the car or something, and she prolly called and left her a pissed off message on the room phone.
And that looks like Balwinis, not really Baldwins...I don't see D and see and extra I before the s.
But the writer does not seem to be too concerned about grammatically correct details, so it could be Baldwins...
