Bob Calhoun’s Biography
Bob Calhoun used to wrestle men in Sasquatch suits while drunks threw food at him. He chronicled these days of glory in the punk-rock/lucha-libre memoir "Beer, Blood & Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling" (2008, ECW Press), a national bestseller. His latest book, "Shattering Conventions: Commerce, Cosplay and Conflict on the Expo Floor" (2013, Obscuria Press) has been spun off as a web series and column in "Meetings Today," the magazine of the convention and tradeshow industry.
Calhoun currently writes a weekly true crime column for the SF Weekly. His work has also appeared in Gawker, Salon.com, the San Francisco Chronicle and RogerEbert.com.
