This latest outrage regarding the Chelsea Hotel is heartbreaking. I can just imagine the doucheoisie that'll gather for the first jam: probably an iPhone launch party or some shite.
If it does happen, this presents an opportunity for some inventive Fight Club/Project Mayhem-type protest. I wonder if owners/residents of the surrounding buildings that will be sudjected to the shrieking, vapid din of entitled iZombies will be willing to help out with some creative expressions of dissent.
Screw Kaufman, the Chetrits, and the LPC. May they all rot. And, I am sorry, where is Pattie Smith now? Her silence speaks volumes.
Did people really go to Gonzalez y Gonzalez for the food?
Just received this link to the Guardian post of NYC hundred year old photos--http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2134408/Never-seen-photos-100-years-ago-tell-vivid-story-gritty-New-York-City.html
eh. Here's a fun game to play... Would you rather they tear the Chelsea Hotel down and put up a glass tower OR let it live on in it's current incarnation?
the building stays. cant you be happy about anything? who the hell is patty smith anyway? she has minimal talent. her screeching & noise get me crazy. she owns a brownstone worth millions. not a bad person, but why do you look to her? she has no power, unless she buys back the hotel.
