Hip, Hip, Hooray! We’ve finally got some online help in our struggle for the soul of the Chelsea. Tenant activist Arthur Nash, long at the forefront of the campaign to restore the Bards to their management role at the Chelsea Hotel, has just unveiled his new myspace page. Titled, unsurprisingly, Bring Back the Bards, the site has tons of photos and video from the early stages of the battle to the more recent, ongoing, assault on the rooftop gardens. Highlights include: photos of the recent eviction of the 75-year old man (we can’t wait to see the video!), and tons of photos and videos of the illegal destruction of Bob Dylan’s room. This is a site not to be missed, because it is being updated frequently. Videos related to the destruction of the roof gardens are the latest addition, and Arthur is filming and uploading them as we speak. You can get to the site by going to Myspace.com/BringBacktheBards. -- Ed Hamilton
