Scuffle At Soho House! And Also, Book Party

Scuffle At Soho House! And Also, Book Party

See? At last night's Soho House book party for Toby Young's "The Sound Of No Hands Clapping" there was double-fisting... and, in the case of former Page Sixer Ian Spiegelman and writer-of-dubious-repute Doug Dechert, those fists were balled up and sent in each other's direction. Dechert and Spiegelman tussled in 2004 when Spiegelman sent Dechert a threatening email in response to some smack-talkin' (see the backstory here to learn why exactly Dechert is of dubious repute - there but for the grace of God and a few scotches go any of us), and last night they were both in the same room, and it was very hot, and, well, tempers flared. Gawker and Fishbowl have more pics; Gawker has the the blow-by-blow, and Fishbowl has a recap video starring Spiegelman. New media means you can't even have a drunken bitchslap in peace anymore. Which has radically transformed my social life, I have to say.
