No sir. We don't have it.

What's good ya'll...

So, I was in DC looking for possible video locations (trip got TOTALLY rained out), and I damn near lost my camera to a language barrier and a nonchalant head of security.

After a really rough night.  Scratch that.  After a really jacked up weekend in DC, which ended about 5am prior to a 9:30am departure, I left my handheld camera in the hotel room.  Yep!  I was close to King's Dominion before I realized it, but I was sure of it.  We pulled over, checked the luggage, and proceeded to call the hotel...

I explain my situation to the head of security, who proceeds to tell me, "No sir. We don't have it."  Now, by this point, I'm POSITIVE I took it into the room just a few hours before.  I'm also pretty skeptical about housekeeping having gotten to my room on the 27TH FLOOR less than 3 hours after I checked out.  So I tell the dude thank you and hung up.

Of course I call right back, but this time I ask to speak to Julie at the front desk.  Julie is the absolute shit at her job, and probably the ONLY reason I would ever stay at the Hilton in Alexandria, VA again after homeboy tried to play me for my camera.  Anyway, Julie explains that the camera would have gone through housekeeping before going to security, and that was IF they had gotten to the room yet.

I speak with housekeeping, explain to her like 3 times what happened, have her go up and check the room while I wait to call back in about 15 minutes.  She tells me the camera is there (THANKS KHAM!!!), I proceed to tell her like 3 times lol the name of my associate who would be picking up the camera, and she tells me that he should have no problem picking it up from.... DUN DUN DUNNNNNN... Security

My associate arrives, and of course, Mr. Head of Security pulls that, "No Sir.  We don't have it." shit again.  Associate number 2 is about ready to whip the truck around and head back at this point, but Mrs. Archer would have probably killed us all at that point.  We keep moving, associate number 1 goes professionally aggressive (if you don't know what I'm talking about, step your executive game up lol) on Mr. Head of freakin Security, and retrieves my beloved handheld.

So... No video locations in DC.  I just don't think the signs pointed to the district on this trip lol.  Next stop, ATL
