Halloween Gathering of the Damned in Chelsea Hotel Lobby

     The lobby of the hotel was temporarily transformed into a den of thieves straight out of the Arabian Nights yesterday as Board Member Marlene Krauss (Harvard MBA), BD Hotels executives, Bluebeard, Al Capone, Jesse Witchesattea James, and various of their desperate, cut-throat partners in crime assembled to debate how to carve up the Chelsea into cookie cutter boxes filled with docile mid-western tourists on Zoloft.

     Their Lord and Master Satan, presumably, awaited them in Stanley’s old office.  No word on whether Count Dracula was expected to put in an appearance.  An anonymous resident, spying the villainous band as he passed through the lobby said it best when he remarked to them, “I wish I had a hole deep enough to drop all of you in.”  — Ed Hamilton

    Brooklyn Heights: Bella the Cat, who charmed passersby on the Brooklyn Bridge footpath in Cadman Plaza Park, is alive and well and living in bourgeois comfort in a home on Pineapple Street. [<a href=”http://brooklynheightsblog.com/archives/1865″…

    I love your blog so much, but it breaks my heart every time I look at it. I am a frequent guest of the hotel and had an hour long conversation with a friend today about the current situation. I am thinking of checking in for a while so I can do everything in my power to make these Demons have no choice but to leave. Bravo to the gentlemen that can’t fathom a hole deep enough for this swine. His words are much kinder than mine would be. My friend likened the current situation to purchasing the MET, burning all the artwork, and hanging money in it’s place. But the artwork in the Chelsea happens to be the living people that inhabit it, so I likened the current situation to the Holocaust.
