As Stanhope reassured his fans in the thread, “Everything awful is funny.” No one was harmed in the fire, and Stanhope was able to save his phone and his cigarettes, which managed to keep him occupied until the blaze finally died down.
Since the fire, Stanhope’s fortunes have thankfully turned around. Just this evening, he tweeted an update that read, “The insurance co said they would put us up in a hotel until our house can be made livable, which could be a while. When I asked what hotels were available, they mentioned…my favorite bar downtown which I always forget is a hotel as well! Thanksgiving indeed!”
Between booze and David Byrne, Stanhope still has plenty to be grateful for.
