So the big news is that the 21st Century Bonnie and Clyde stayed at the Chelsea Hotel! After scaling fire escapes to rob tony penthouses all over Manhattan, they would hole up here to chill out and get high. Debbie had a feeling that the pair in the transient room next door was bad news. The woman told her that she was from Savannah, Georgia and that her Daddy sent her and her fiancee to New York to have fun while their lavish wedding and home was prepared for them back in Savannah. She was a Southern Belle from an old money family, she said. She also claimed to be homesick for the smell of swamp water. I know you have odors and all here in New York, she said, but there is nothing like the smell of swamp water. Right!
If I remember that movie correctly, Bonnie was just looking for a little excitement, and Clyde would never kill anybody except by accident. Or something like that. They didn't rob us, probably because they understood that we were the Outlaw Chelsea Bloggers, and so were abiding by a rigid outlaws code of honor.
Suprise, suprise, they finally got caught. And they apparently didn't even go out in a hail of bullets. What's wrong with these cops and robbers these days?
On a more positive note, Clyde left his leather jacket behind and I figure I can sell it to Artie for his gangster museum. -- Ed Hamilton
