Hotel Chelsea Blog
Thank goodness it's not often that we receive e-mails with the subject line "MACHINE GUNS?????" Is this what new management considers the red carpet treatment? We hope not. Thanks to Artie for the photos of the scene outside of the Chelsea Hotel earlier today.
You got to love machine guns on twenty -third street. What exactly was that about again? They stood around for forty minutes facing down the building, meanwhile that dog was not well mannered, would NOT shut its yap, and tried to attack several other dogs on the street, then one passing by in a car. After freaking everyone out they just get in their black SUV and roll off?

Was that a stinkbomb-sniffing dog?

ALL OF THAT FOR A COUPLE OF ILLEGALLY PARKED BICYCLES? SEEMS EXCESSIVE.

Probably just another meth dealer or heroin addicted “artist” stabbing his girlfriend. Good times!

Don’t worry those rifles are actually Bohemian stun-dart guns and totally non lethal. You’ll be out cold just long enough for Marlene Krauss and David Elder to move you and your junk to an shared bath SRO in the Bronx.

SWAT teams and incessantly barking Police dogs don’t fit with the vibe of the Chelsea. If its a training excercise, I think we have a right to know when uniforms carrying assault rifles pull up in front of OUR HOUSE AND HOME.
Somebody should explain that to David Elder, spotted glad-handing with the cops and gesturing to apartments near the Chelsea sign. Got to wonder what or which he was pointing to.

John – your hopes, that frustrated little rant, and two bucks will still get you subway fare. Ride it to the end of the line because nobody here is interested.

Whoever invited the SWAT to the Chelsea Hotel didn’t ‘get it’ that there are residents living in this building. Next time they should have SWAT show up at their own home unnanounced and see how it goes over with the wife and kids; or better have their mother look out her window at home and see a squadron of assault rifle-bearing stormtroopers just standing there staring at her house, with their attack dog barking and barking its head off, with no explanation.
Then see how she likes it and report back to us. Asshole.

Pretty certain ol’ “JohnnyV” ratted out all the meth dealers before he got his ass canned from the Chelsea. And correct me if i’m wrong but no artist’s girlfriends were harmed during the making of that bum’s extremely brief employment. Nevertheless I’m sure he’s dreamed up some tall tales to tell the wife on those cold winter nights away from Big Easy

John I am in complete agreement. The freak scumbags must go!
First came Glennon Travis and we were — as you clearly are — ecstatic when that particular scumbag was thrown out on his pompous ass. Then came Andrew Tilley and we all know what happened to him — he ran sobbing out the door! Now, THAT couldn’t have happened to a more deserving chappie and I know he was saddened he couldn’t be around for the Police activity this afternoon but, as already established, he got shitcanned — so it wasn’t really his choice. Now we’ve got David Elder who couldn’t run a hair dryer and is more of an afterthought considering he should be going to jail quite soon, plus “Bathroom Expert” Arnold Tamasar who is so underqualified its almost pathetic. But his time at the Chelsea too, shall come to its fecal freakish conclusion.

WTF? LaSt I knew the Chelsea was deathly short of drug dealers- I recall people loitering in the lobby at all hours looking for pot- no names, of course… I know I’ve said this before but this makes me so very sad. All I can do is pray and offer you my moral support with my usual sign off:
WE ARE UGLY BUT WE HAVE THE MUSIC

I totally agree. If it was known in advance that the SWAT Team was going to mount up with vehicles, machineguns and at least one attack dog in front of the Hotel then residents of the Hotel should be notified of whats going on. Aren’t we notified of NYFD drills? We should be notified of NYPD drills too – or at minimum any that involve automatic weaponry. And yeah I also saw lumpyheaded fool talking to the cops and taking pictues of them so you can’t tell me he didn’t know they were coming. Just more out of place behavior from a very out of place individual.

Please Stop Scaring the handful of tourists that we have here. They’re already complaining that $80.00 a night plus tax is too expensive. Well, at least those guys from Ireland might have felt at home with machine guns on the street.
