Roller Derby

Tinkerfell, Megan, Heidi and I went to watch Roller Derby last night. In the national league, our Duke City team beat Dallas by a wide margin. Talked to some of the players after the game and they said Dallas never stopped hitting hard.

In the New Mexico league, D.I.A. (Derby Intelligence Agency) went up against the Santa Fe Derby Disco Rollers. Both teams were undefeated, and the winner would be guaranteed a shot in the championship in September. We decided to root for DIA and they ended up winning. A lot of the players from the Duke City team were on both of these teams.

Muffin was one of the top jammers last night, and Megan and Heidi had a chance to talk to her in between the games.

One of the Dallas players got LAID OUT. We saw her later and think she either tore a rotator cuff or dislocated her shoulder from the way they had her slinged up. When she went down, all the players and refs took a knee and the arena was quiet. It took some of the drunks a while to realize that they were the only ones talking.

During the second game, we moved forward to much better seats. Megan and Heidi got in free and the tickets were $12 each for Tink and me, not a bad price.

St Louis is coming to town in 2 weeks, so we might go back.


D-I-A D-I-A D-I-A!
