This forum's getting a little hostile, what with all the dead guitarists and Nu-metal bands crashing the Gigantour, so I thought this would cheer everybody up a bit.... or maybe send them completely over the edge. Either way, I love stories like this. Makes my life seem better than it really is.
Hair Rage: Woman Robs Salon at Gunpoint
Thursday, April 21, 2005
Julie A. Anderson (search), 48, was booked for investigation of first-degree robbery and second-degree malicious mischief.
Employees told police the woman showed up Wednesday at Stage 1, a salon she had patronized for years, and asked to speak with her regular stylist, who was not in, police Capt. Mike Cobb said.
The woman waited in the parking lot and pulled a gun on the stylist when she arrived. She then walked back into the salon and demanded $100.
Employees gave her the money, then locked the door after she left and called police.
The woman got into her car and started to drive away but stopped, got out and fired at least one round into the back window of the stylist's car, Cobb said. She then threw the gun through the shattered glass and fled, he said.
She was arrested about 45 minutes later as she left another hair salon nearby.
The woman paid with a $20 bill, apparently from Stage 1, and then walked out to her car, where she was arrested, Cobb said. The woman told stylists she had received a bad hair cut some time ago.
"She said she was a dissatisfied customer," Cobb said.

I can't wait for you-know-who, the mega-poster, to tell me I'm desecrating the sanctity of a forum intended only for really cool prog bands with this non-music item.....
