All quite on the derby front

At long last, a little break between bouts (bbbb..). Still, that doesn't mean nothing is happening!

The first cool event is this Friday, aka tomorrow. NSRG and Rollerdome hooked up, and anyone who mentions us or brings our flyer gets in half price. Rollergirls will be there too, of course, so come skate with us! I might go, I wasn't planning on it but the boy is an airhead and he made plans ("uh, don't you usually skate on Fridays?" No, honey, I don't usually, and when I do I ask/tell you in advance. But that's okay, ditch me on our fun night). Afterwards head on over to the Nomad for the Zombie Christmas Ball and play spot-the-rollergirl there, too. Rollerdome is from 5 to 9 PM, Zombies start at 7.

Next Friday is WICKED cool. We partnered with Rogue Buddha Gallery (they did most of the work!) for an art show, "Blockers, Jammers & Pivots: The Influence of Modern Roller Derby on Contemporary Art". Part of the proceeds from any art sales will benefit the league, so check it out! I've seen a couple of the pieces and they are absolutely awesome. That starts at 7 PM on Friday the 12th.

Saturday, Dec. 20th we will be skating at the Rollerdome again, I am planning on goin to that one. Saturday skate is from 2 PM to 6 PM.

And finally, after some much-needed time off for me, we have another home bout on December 27th. Family in town? Treat them to some derby! Banger Sisters will be kicking the playing the Violent Femmes ' asses.

New TT selection was finally finalized, so I am still skating with the TT next year. So far we're hitting Sioux Falls again (best place for an away bout ever!), Oklahoma City, and Madison. We are still looking for some more WFTDA bouts, our hope is to play hard and kick enough ass to qualify for next year's regionals, as they will be in our backyard! Hosted by MNRG the North Central Regionals will be right across the river in Saint Paul. Wicked.
