Rumble on Melrose

Author and performance artist Lisa Crystal Carver blogs that she was assaulted last night outside Mondo Records by "lifestyle Satanist" Stanton LaVey and his girlfriend Szandora, because of something they took exception to in her new book Drugs are Nice.

So she lunges for me, we pull each others hair out, I kick her in the crotch a couple times, she scratches my neck up. I'm fine with that part. Stanton is her boyfriend and I wrote things about him and she announced her intentions and I could have run back in the store if I'd wanted to avoid it and it was fair because it was one on one....

Then my friends come up and Stanton yells "You're gonna get it even worse in San Francisco tomorrow!"

Well it would have to be worse, because that was the wimpiest beating I ever got. A six foot tall guy kicking me while someone else holds me down and I'm not even sore at all today.

Unless it was all, you know, performance art. Link via Subcrawl.net.
