Halloween Gathering of the Damned in Chelsea Hotel Lobby

     The lobby of the hotel was temporarily transformed into a den of thieves straight out of the Arabian Nights yesterday as Board Member Marlene Krauss (Harvard MBA), BD Hotels executives, Bluebeard, Al Capone, Jesse James, and various of their desperate, cut-throat partners in crime assembled to debate how to carve up the Chelsea into cookie cutter boxes filled with docile mid-western tourists on Zoloft.

     Their Lord and Master Satan, presumably, awaited them in Stanley’s old office.  No word on whether Count Dracula was expected to put in an appearance.  An anonymous resident, spying the villainous band as he passed through the lobby said it best when he remarked to them, “I wish I had a hole deep enough to drop all of you in.”  -- Ed Hamilton
