Street-Furniture Special

When our friend Robert Shaw from Australia checked into the hotel recently, he must have requested the Street-Furniture Special.  (see photo 1)  Yes, folks, that chair has only three legs, and when Robert sat in it, the results were predictable.  Requests at the front desk for a furniture upgrade were of course ignored, and so we took him down to the basement, confident that there would be no shortage of fine, sturdy chairs from which to choose.  In a surreal Chelsea moment, this is what we found.  (see photo 2)  Perhaps if we had searched more diligently, we might have turned up something a bit more functional, but the elemental spirit that lives in the basement warned us off, and rather than be caught up in the cosmic struggle between good and evil, we fled for the less supernaturally-fraught confines of the upper stories.
