Checking In to the Bates Motel at SXSW
About this video
After a long, productive day at SXSW in Austin, Texas, YH's own Nikki Novak just needs a place to lay her head. Good thing we found the Bates Motel! Looks pretty friendly, right? Surely, it has nothing to do with THE Bates Motel, as seen on the A&E series based on the notorious Alfred Hitchcock horror classic, 'Psycho'! That's just make-believe! So come along and join us for a quick nap and maybe a shower, won't you?

Oh hi guys, I'm Nikki Novak. I work for Young Hollywood. They've sent me down to Austin, Texas for South by Southwest. And um, this year they're putting me in this cool hotel.
