| Halloween Bout 10/29 |
[Oct. 2nd, 2010|02:36 am] |
For our co-ed Halloween bout, the theme is going to be Barbie vs. G.I. Joe. I'm on team Barbie. :D
So, I’ve been thinking of possible derby names for that bout. Any opinions or suggestions? (My number will remain 2020.)
Ideas so far:
- Eye-Roll Ken
- Girls’ Toy
- Plastic Boyfriend
- Polyvinyl
Watcha think? B) Have to pick something by next Friday (10/8).
For those of you who’d like to go, the bout will be at Ellenberger Park Ice Rink.
Doors @ 6 p.m., and the bout starts @ 7 p.m.
Tickets $5 for all, and children 2 & under are free.
Hope to see you there! I’ll be one of the guys in pink. B) |

| Roller Derby Makes A Comeback |
[Sep. 16th, 2010|09:06 pm] |
From hereandnow.org --
The sport of Roller Derby has been undergoing something of a renaissance these days. Women are skating all over the country again for the chance to go round and round on a circular wooden rink – and knock each other down – to the cheers and jeers of devoted fans. Here & Now’s former intern, Kassandra Sundt, known on the track as “Maya Mangle-you” of the Boston Nutcrackers, left us an insider’s view into the world of women’s flat track Roller Derby.

Have you seen this? Wil Wheaton is awesome. B)
Last night, Anne and I went to watch Roller Derby (which doesn't, by the rules of English grammar, need to be capitalized, but by the rules of capitalizing Things What Are Awesome does) live for the very first time.
I used to watch it on TV when I was a kid, and grew out of it the same time I grew out of wrestling, for pretty much the same reasons, so each time my friend Burns, who is a referee at the Doll Factory, told me to come watch a derby, I always had something else to do.
About a week ago, Burns told us that he'd get us VIP tickets if we wanted to come out. He promised us that we'd have a good time. Anne and I have been looking for excuses to get out of goddamn fucking suburbia lately, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to see something our friend loves, experience something new, and get out of goddamn fucking suburbia all at once.

| Roller Derby and Gaming Don’t Mix |
[Jun. 6th, 2009|04:28 pm] |
Anyone else having this problem?
From I Like It Derby --
I was thinking about how today is the 25th birthday of Tetris, and now I’ve made myself really sad. I just was thinking about how little gaming time I’ve been getting since I started roller derby. I miss my old video games!
I love Final Fantasy, and there are two new FF titles coming out in the next couple of years (XIII and XIV)! I still have to finish XII!
Guild Wars, my favorite MMORPG, has been seriously neglected since the beginning of April. I’m pretty sure the last time I logged on was on April Fool’s Day, when everyone was turned into chibi Gwen. (So cute!)
