Reclaim the Chelsea Hotel!

Now that we’ve swept BD Hotels into the dustbin of Chelsea history, let their onerous regulations also be exorcised once and for all from our fair building!  Remember when they first arrived, and, scowling, stood in our way and physically barred us from retrieving our mail from behind the front desk?  That area behind the desk is a common area that was stolen from us by BD.  And now that they are no more, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t reclaim it.  If you have mail in your box, go back there and get it yourself.  And strike a blow for freedom!
           Also, the desk staff should bring back their TV and their radio: what’s the harm in them listening to a little bit of music or catching the action on the Yankees game?  Especially if it’s quiet in the hotel and there’s nothing going on?

Fellow residents: cast off your shackles!  Move your furniture back into the hallways, and let your pets and your children once again run free in the halls!  (I myself will be rooting through the rubbish to find interesting items to replace my Garbage Art installations confiscated by the evil philistine Glennon Travis.)  Let us celebrate anew the spirit of freedom and non-conformity that has reigned for 125 years at the Chelsea Hotel. -- Ed Hamilton  (UPDATE: Thanks to Artie Nash for sending over the photo of the rules.)
