Beth Lisick Leg-Wrestles Her Fans at Litquake Event

Yes, that photo at right is depicting exactly what it appears to – Beth Lisick mowing down her own fans onstage in a leg-wrestling competition at last night's "Litquake Fuck Sports!" event at the Edinburgh Castle. Beth's kind of unbeatable… to this day she still holds the Saratoga High School long jump record. She read a rather uproarious chapter from Helping Me Help Myself about her experience doing preggers yoga at the all-sports-themed literary salon, the Naked Lady Wrestlers played their hard rock covers of Hungarian dance songs, and a tanked-up time was had by all. Other local luminary readings included…

  • Actual National Gymnastics Champion and now-author Jennifer Sey reading from her memoir Chalked Up on the fast times and dysfunctional coaching of high-profile competitive gymnastics.
  • Alan Black reading a hilarious chapter about an awful boyhood barber in Glasgow from Kick the Balls.
  • Bucky Sinister explaining how NASCAR actually is compelling television in The Three Paradoxes of NASCAR Racing.

  • Jack Boulware recalling the non-stop quirk of his years as an equipment manager for a very bad high school football team.
  • Eddie Mullar reading erotic boxing fiction. That’s right, erotic boxing fiction.
  • And the whole event was emceed with appropriate bombast by Count Dante, whose book Beer, Blood and Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling would make the perfect gift for any of those loved ones who can’t stop bitching about how San Francisco no longer as cool as it used to be.
  • Oh, and don't forget: Next month, August 3, Litquake pays tribute to intercourse, creampie cuties, PNP, and similar acts of sin with "Dirty Words: Litquake’s Tribute to Smut."

    Friday's Porchlight event was awesome too!

    Also, I think it is Eddie Muller, not Mullar...
