Imaginary Hipsters Shell Out Big Imaginary Bucks to Party at BDs Revamped Chelsea Hotel

     So guess what, a real reporter -- as opposed to electronic kind -- has had the sense to go down to the courthouse and look at the papers.   Chris Shott of The Observer reports that Marlene has fired BD for "willful misconduct" (wich no doubt includes some of what we discussed yesterday.).  BD, in turn is suing the Hotel for $2.7 million in "incentives" it says it is owed for increasing the hotel's profits 225%!  Wow -- and they said Stanley was cooking the books!  I wonder where all that new revenue could have come from.  Certainly it couldn't have been from renting rooms, since they slashed the rates.  Must be from that new spa in the basement and that rockin' club on the roof -- you know the one with the new express elevator jetting the hipsters skyward.  -- Ed Hamilton
