Yesterday we headed over to the Hotel Chelsea to have a chat with Stanley Bard. Over the past month there have been many changes at the landmarked establishment that have left an unsettling feeling amongst the community. This community is one that Bard himself refers to as "A Mutual Admiration Society," and his description couldn't be more accurate.

All sorts of people have been showing up at the Hotel Chelsea, or writing in, to express their thoughts on "new management". It was only a matter of time before Ethan Hawke stopped by (and we're glad he did)!

It seems that alcohol and theater started off hand in hand. Just picture Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors being performed in the 1500's, audience slugging down pints (and probably chewing on drumsticks and meat pies!) - seems accurate, right? Never has a want for alcohol overcome us mid-play, but it's probably not a bad idea in some cases. Apparently there are theaters in London that serve alcohol, a growing trend of mixing pub culture with playhouse art across the pond.

Reader Joseph sent us this screenshot of a Barnes & Noble mailer promoting an upcoming reading from Norman Mailer. It looks like his biography of Marilyn Monroe apparently elevated him to husband-of-Marilyn status! Norman Mailer, Arthur Miller, it's all the same! Or maybe it's a way to drum up more interest in the event.

Still unwinding from the RNC madness that hit our streets last week? We suggest ducking into our favorite gallery. Tomorrow night Jen Bekman Gallery is welcoming Agnes Barleys' solo debut of her works on paper to the walls of New York.
