*NEW INFO ADDED TO FIRST POST* ZaZa Hotel in Houston just had their 322 room accidentally stumbled into. A conspiracy theorist's wet dream

The story:

"stay here frequently when on business. Hotel was booked solid and my colleague managed to score a room unplanned. We all had normal ZaZa style rooms (swanky) and he ended up in this goth dungeon closet.

Seriously- the room had a chain holding the bed to wall, pictures of skulls and a creepy, incongruous portrait of an old man. Room was about 1/3 the normal size with the furniture blocking part of the TV, bed and window.

We asked about it at the front desk and the clerk looked it up and said " that room isn't supposed to be rented.' and immediately moved him."

Thankfully for you and I, his friend took pictures before talking to the front desk. See them at the link that follows:

Note that the room is 1/3 the usual size of ZaZa Hotel rooms, quite possibly a two-way mirror, and has a concrete floor (easier to clean...).

The bathroom is also smaller than most ZaZa rooms as well as they do not have brick walls like this. The mirror also looks deeply set into the wall which could support the theory of it being a two-way mirror.

The picture of the man on the wall is believed to be Jay Comeaux formerly of the Stanford Financial Group in Houston.

He is a LSU grad. The Friars are a secret society at LSU. The skull and crossbones is a symbol of their order. Also, it should be noted that "322" isn't just relevant to Skull and Bones, but to a whole slew of collegiate secret societies.

He worked out of Houston, so it's very likely that that is, or was his room. He was also apparently involved in some sort of $7 billion Ponzi securities fraud:

Stanford Financial has hosted several events there. There is a connection between the company and the hotel which gives good reason that Jay Comeaux is the one in the picture.


Enjoy.


********NEW INFO ADDED BELOW********

The portrait on the wall is Jay Carmeaux. Carmeaux was a DKE (Delta Kappa Epsilon, THE Fraternity to be part of) at LSU. LSU's DKE chapter has a secret alumni association, known as The Friars. Their symbols include the skull and crossbones, like the ones seen in the room.

DKE has a reputation for being a public "feeder" fraternity to other secret societies, most notably the Skull & Bones at Yale. The room number, "322", and the skull and crossbones insignia in the room are both used by the Skull & Bones as well. It wouldn't be suprising if one DKE alumni society used the same symbols as its more famous cousin. In fact, unconfirmed sources claim that The Friars are actually a chapter of the Skull & Bones.

It is interesting to note the similarity between the name of the hotel - ZaZa - and LSU's DKE chapter: Zeta Zeta.

Most likely a private room for Jay Carmeaux. More interesting than that (to me) is that he is likely an member of a confirmed secret society, which is either a branch of or related to the Skull & Bones at Yale. That explains the room number, the creepy decorations, the two-way mirror and false wall, everything. No other explanation so far makes more sense.

"The Friars is an alumni association/secret society of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at LSU. Deke is about as old money as you can get at LSU -- deep roots in New Orleans, and Huey P. Long financed the construction of their house for his son, Senator Long, who was a member at the time. Rumor has it that runnels run from the Deke house all across campus.

...

Their symbol is a coffin with a skull & crossbones superimposed. It's actually painted on the side of the DKE house.

Also, the Zeta Zeta chapter of DKE at LSU is supposedly the inspiration for Animal House (the partying, at least). Classic youtube video: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

ETA 2: Coincidence that Zeta Zeta would have a private hotel room at a hotel in Houston called ZaZa? Probably not. Houston is chock full of LSU alums."

Interesting Wikipedia page: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

From the wiki:

"Upon its founding its goal was to revive the Zeta Zeta chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon of Centenary College of Louisiana, formerly of Jackson, Louisiana. The chapter had closed its doors at the outbreak of the American Civil War, when all of its members enlisted."

Houston is apparently full of LSU grads. These coincidences are way too big for just a "theme room".
