Stay home and read a book or two as a tribute to former resident Herbert Huncke. Huncke, the Hipster who defined 'Beat," died at the age of 81, August 8, 1996. I suggest, The Herbert Huncke Reader, Guilty Of Everything:The Autobiography of Huncke or The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction.

The one joke movie, The Aristocrats, features former resident, Eddie Izzard. Eddie had an apartment on the eighth floor when he was starring in "Dress to Kill." I was stressing out trying to recall his joke about the hotel, but fortunately for me, Sarah Vowell remembered, "...his bit was about how he loved the hotel's dense walls because he could scream all he wanted at his computer, said he sat in his room every night yelling, "log on! Log on! LOG ON!" No one ever heard a peep." (Chelsea Girl)
