The Rocks Off 100: Anna Garza, Girls Rock Camp Houston Guru
 |
| The Busy Kids (L-R): Garza and Laurene Connelly |
I was working a Hands Up Houston show alone. It was a hardcore show at Silky's. This punk guy showed up, completely shitfaced, and attempted to weasel his way into the show for free.Of course, I wouldn't let him in, and he started to become really aggressive. I asked him to leave but he wouldn't. Finally, I started pushing him out the door. He called me every name in the book, then he pushed me back.
I fell backwards and landed on the table where I was doing the door and where our money box was. I'm on the ground and dollar bills were flying everywhere. This group of skinheads (male and female) were at the bar and saw what happened.
They got up and chased the guy down the street and beat him up.
