Monday, April 25 at 7:00 writer Charlie Huston will be reading at the BoxCar Lounge reading series. In his earlier novel, Caught Stealing, he wrote, “We walk a couple of blocks to Twenty-third Street and check into the Chelsea Hotel. It may be hip now, but it’s still a flop. The desk clerk is so jaded that we don’t raise an eyebrow even when I pay with cash.” I guess characters on the lam don't stop to admire the roaches.
Wednesday, April 27 at 7:00 p.m. Vestal McIntyre reads from You Are Not the One at the KGB Bar. Sam Lipsyte whose novel Home Land contains a sentence or two about the Hotel Chelsea and Sam Shaw will also read.
Thursday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. spoken word artist Jose Padua (a winner of the Moving Words Poetry Competition) will read at the Arlington Central Library at 1015 N. Quincy Street. What does this have to do with the Chelsea ? I have an eight year old bottle of Makers Mark with his fingerprints on it sitting in my liquor cabinet. It is the remains of a case that he gave to my boyfriend and me as a housewarming gift when we moved into the Hotel. If you can't make the reading, read his poem, Breakfast at McDonalds.
