Recent conversations about Anton LaVey with members of The Umlaut Nation reminded me of these oldies but goodies from the original xeroxed 'zine version of Umlaut:
SHOPPING WITH SATAN: A TRUE ENCOUNTER (From Issue 9 - Spring 1994) -
While in Service Merchandise on El Camino in South San Francisco to purchase a coffee maker, Umlaut was surprised silly when Anton LaVey, author of The Satanic Bible and founder of The Church of Satan, got in line next to us! His reason: To return an alarm clock!!! Pure evil. Too intimidated by his evilness to ask for an autograph, Umlaut watched as Mr. LaVey gnashed his teeth impatiently as the unsuspecting housewife in front of him played irate consumer. The fool!

DINING WITH SATAN: A TRUE ENCOUNTER (From Issue 10 - Fall 1994) -
While in Mel's Diner on Geary Blvd. in San Francisco for dinner, Umlaut almost wet its bell bottoms when Anton LaVey, author of The Satanic Bible and founder of The Church of Satan, got in line for a non-smoking table next to us! Accompanied by a bleach blonde wearing pumps and holding a little devil baby, Mr. LaVey sat at a table across from Umlaut. His order: A hot turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce, a bowl of soup, and a chocolate shake!!! Pure evil. Too intimidated by his evilness to ask for an autograph, Umlaut watched as Mr. LaVey reprimanded the waiter for forgetting his cranberry sauce. The fool!

For the newbies: Anton LaVey lived in The Black House at 6114 California Street in San Franfuckincisco for 30 years until his death in 1997.
