I'm getting famous! *heeheee*
Last Wednesday I had my first random media inquiry purely because of the blog. A reporter on the DC beat wanted to talk to me about Fran O'Brien's. I'm not sure I was the kind of source or interview he was looking far, but I pointed him to some other bloggers that might be willing to go on the record. If he writes anything, I'll link it here.
Update: As I suspected, I was not the interview he was looking for, but I'm glad to see he found others who could fill out the story. In his article, Hal Koster publicly confirms several things that were reported here and elsewhere, such as the conflict over rent vs. room service charges, and the Hilton demand that Fran's make decorating improvements without a confirmed lease.
