3 MINUTES/ A VISIT TO: Virginia City, Nevada Revisited/ Part 1/ 1999
I've shot a lot of things over the years, and up until now, they've been in my digital library files. I'm editing my film and tape footage and creating a series of 3 minute video shorts called 3 Minutes, A Visit To: The footage is shot with either a VHS or DV camcorder so it varies in quality, but I think there's a lot of footage that you may think is interesting. In keeping with the “3 minute” format some of the longer footage is split up into several parts. Before each segment is a short description. A longer, more detailed description is below.

Virginia City Revisited/ Part 1
On one of my trips, I revisited Virginia City Nevada. This time however I was going to stay overnight in one of those hotel rooms that are above the saloon, like in all those western movies. I arrived late one afternoon and got a room at one of the oldest hotels in Virginia City, the Silver Queen/ Molinelli's Hotel. The room was in the front on the third floor and had a bed, a lamp, a small sink and a toilet. It was a bit pricy for the room I got. There was no TV and no air conditioning, a perfect setting for a back in time experience in a bonified old western town. After watching Bonanza, Gunsmoke and all those westerns for years I figured I'd be in my room late at night on the bed, listening to the honky tonk piano playing Oh Susanna and listening to bar fights down below. That wasn’t to be. The bar closed around 9pm. All the tourists leave town by nightfall, and it's dead quiet by 10pm. Everything closes down, and there is nothing to do. I tried to go to sleep, but it was too quiet. I heard later that the hotel was haunted. Oh how I wish that some random ghost showed up in my room, so I would have someone to talk to. As the sun started rising I pulled out my video camera and shot some views through my open window. After breakfast, I walked over to the Piper’s Opera House built by entrepreneur John Piper in 1885 to replace the one that had been destroyed by fire. I spent a little time there shooting the interior.
Please note: The experience I’m relating is an experience I had in 1999 and many things could have changed in Virginia City….hopefully not too much.
