It is also a very inadequate inspiration for true gonzo, though it sounds like you coulda gone epic had you been in less bizarre surroundings. Next time you're in Po-town, Michael, ya gotta start at Andy's at supper and end up at Julie's on Raymond Ave for breakfast. Whatever happens in between is guaranteed to beat afternoon tea and cuke sandwiches by a country mile. Mohonk Mt House is a parallel universe; a very EXPENSIVE parallel universe.

This whole business of confusing high tea and afternoon tea really grates me. I know some American hotels go as far as calling it high tea themselves, but the fancy finger sandwich tea you have in the afternoon is called afternoon tea. High tea is a sort of early dinner of the British working class. This is one of my major pet peeves. Anyway, enough about my neuroses. Sounds like it should a good episode. Do you know if they went to Blue Hill Farm? Oh, now you’ve done it. This whole business of confusing high tea and afternoon tea really grates me.

Also, I think Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining was the Grand Hotel in Boulder, CO, or someplace out that way. He talks about it either in the forward to The Stand or the re-released Shining. SOunds like you had fun in the Valley though.
