And the great 2009 hotel war rages on: Over the weekend, we showed you hellish video depicting a cacophonous multi-media roof party at the Thompson LES Hotel, documented by an understandably disgruntled neighbor. Today we're back over to the Cooper Square Hotel, where angry neighbors have been using bullhorns and dirty laundry to fight back at loud-talkers on that hotel's patio.
Last night Cooper Square Hotel developer Matthew Moss got an earful from the East Fifth Street Block Association at a community meeting, during which neighbors castigated him for having "nothing but excuses!" and, according to EV Grieve, Moss "acted at times like a fraternity brother being scolded by his housemother for not picking up his dirty clothes." The kicker: After leaving the contentious meeting, EV Grieve discovered that right across the street, the hotel was hosting a noisy, invitation-only party promoting some $280,000 sports car. (An Aston Martin's DBS Volante.)
One tool in attendance even brought an air horn; how friggin sweet is that? Vanishing New York, who also stumbled upon the fratastic scene, says, "I asked a worker at the party if it was a charity auction. He laughed, 'Charity? There's no charity at the Cooper Square Hotel.'"

This isn't going to end well.
Let's hope not. That hotel really is going to far.
don't know, bloomturd will have the nypd there tout de suite to side with the richies and break some heads like they did in the EV in the late 80's.
I say just do it the passive aggressive way. no fanfare, no protests, just some doodoo or pee.
a prime example of the "Let Them Eat Cake" attitude towards the residents of NYC. At this rate, "Die Yuppie Scum" will never really go out of fashion.
This sounds like a job for dog poop! If the residents don't have dogs, there's always plenty to be found on the streets! Flung feces really have a way of making people run for cover.
yeah, dogshit on the street of your neighborhood will really improve your quality of life. you're an idiot.
i remain riveted. someone is going to do something really awesome. or really terrible. but either way, gothamist will that shit covered!
come to think of it, time for those wrist sling shots we had as a kid. the ones with the silicon tubing.
another poster mentioned them on here. I think he mentioned marbles, too.
agreed on the poo. the smell is really hard to get out.
Poo slingshots!

There's also the good old egging people; something about that turns the most annoying situations into a good laugh. I used to egg HUGE dudes in convertibles that parked on Bleecker and played hip hop super loud rattling my 4th floor windows for hours at a time. Criticizing hotel partyers with bullhorns would be awesome: "Excuse me, the aging hipster standing next to the bar...you sir...yes... you're looking desperate, back it off a little and you'll meet someone. And don't get as drunk as you did when you were here Friday." etc.
Hahaha, I would love to see someone do the bullhorn thing.
Egging also leaves really nasty residue and stains that are tough to get out.
The bullhorn has already been done. So has playing really loud and lame music. My guess is the poo will begin to fly soon, probably along with more destructive objects.
Food dye. Throw a bottle or balloon full of red food dye into the pool. Or just at the loud people at the bar.
Another thought -- garden hose. I have a 50-foot garden hose with an adapter so I can connect it to my kitchen sink and run it out to my terrace. From the window where the video was taken you could certainly put a nice dousing on those people.
Actually, I have a friend who was badly hurt in an egging once. The egg hit him in the eye at high speed and cut his eye wide open, getting nasty egg in the cut in the process. He almost lost his eye.
I mean, I hate douchebags who party in the middle of the night in residential neighborhoods as much as anyone. But let's not actually physically injure them, they probably have lots of lawyers.

Gonna be a long hot summer and a hard rain's gonna fall.
For their next rooftop party, serve correctional coctails.
