On A Dark Desert Highway
So, for those of you who are interested, some developments:
--All the characters in the hotel must be characters from a classic song (folk, rock, jazz, etc). Still trying to decide what date is the cutoff for "classic" but it will be at least through the 70s. So if you want to write with us, start thinking about songs that you might want to use as your character's backstory. They should be actual people from songs with a narrative and characters. I guess the best way to put it is you can choose Jojo or Prudence or Jude or even the narrator of "Yellow Submarine," but you can't write a character based on "Let it Be" or "Revolution." There are some songs I'm going to reserve to use as framing storylines, so I might have to deny some of them, but for the most part, all is good.
--The hotel's calendar is perpetually set to February 3, 1959.
--I think I have a good sense of what the framing storyline for the first story will be.

So Bobby goes on a crazy road trip with his/her girlfriend, Cecilia, until s/he catches Cecilia cheating on him/her, and decides to go on a drunken bender around the Bahamas until s/he falls madly in love with a prostitute?

What if Roxanne and Cecilia were the same person? Roxanne's the name she uses for work, and although she loves her boyfriend, he just can't get over the sex work thing, and he "wants to take her away from all this" which is SUPER annoying.
So she shouts out "who killed the kennedys?" and goes to work on Maggie's Farm — but not for long.

Oh, yeah, it should just be one. For now. I was just going a little haywire with the trying to work them all into one plot.
Then she takes a ride on the riverboat queen?
