All Tomorrow's Parties: May 14-20, 2007

Tuesday, May 15,
For our readers in Australia, tune in to ABC's "Foreign Correspondent," for Michael Maher's report on the battle for the soul of the Chelsea neighborhood. The documentary explores changes in the neighborhood through the eyes of Dan Courtenay, Gerald Busby, Cindy Gallop, Stanley Bard, and us. The documentary was sparked by Ed's blog post about the development of the McBurney YMCA building into luxury condos. (Photo: Michael chats with Storme in front of the hotel.)
