The Astromotel freedom to be: I am a queer, deep Asperger Rastafarian, so, of course, what happened at my last hotel, which resulted in a lightning-fast out-of-court settlement, happened because the Santa Rosa Police Department lives in deep integrity. And I require space to live. That is the Astro immediately after I was ejected and the police left. I booked on booking.com, my wife and support were in silent meditation, which made the interaction even more hurtful. I went to The Astro motel at seven in the morning, and my check-in time wasn't until 3. Morning, employee Bob, who is family, was fixing breakfast, and I told him an almost unbelievable tale that happened. He offered me breakfast and kind words and said, "Even if it isn't true, you need to eat." Of course, it was true, and it's why we are $12,500 richer. Of course, neither Paula nor I need more money, but it was the first time in my life that I finally said, 'Enough discrimination is enough,' and I leveraged the legal system. But more importantly, Astro is a space you can be as long as you're respectful of others, and I can tell you that is not the case anywhere else in life. The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber, you have yourself a fabulous gem, The Astro. #astromotelsantarosa
