Meet the Man Behind the Memos

While hotel layabout David Elder was back sleeping on the lobby couch the other day, at least one of our dark lords was hard at work, writing memos and giving orders designed to regiment and control our previously carefree Bohemian existence.  But just who is this larger-than-life figure who dares to take on the daunting task of whipping this anarchic cesspool of a community into shape?  Our crack investigative reporters have unearthed the following, closely guarded, biographical data.
     Glennon Travis is a 26-year-old eurotrash beachbum from St. Louis, Missouri, who enjoys hotels, travel, and drinking with friends.  He is straight (Hey Girls!) but in a relationship (Awwwww!) and his favorite movie is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
    Glennon received a degree in management from Tulane in 2003, and though he attended grad school in Hotel Management at Cornell, apparently he has yet to graduate.  Hopefully he’s getting a few hours of credit for his work here.
     “I think rooms control is an art,” Glennon says, advocating that, like the rest of us, he considers himself an artist of sorts.  He is also a self-described “hip hotel junky” (usually spelled junkie, but I assume Glennon is harking back to the original title of Bill Lee/Burroughs first novel).  We used to get a lot of these shooting up in our bathroom back in the 90s, so it should be no problem getting used to it again.  It sounds like he’ll fit right in.
    To learn more, visit Glennon on Myspace at www.myspace.com/eurotrashbeachbum and while your at it, request to be his friend.  He only has 53 at this time, so in this, as in the management of the Chelsea, he will need our help. -- Ed Hamilton
