Roller Derby








Last night I went to the Roller Derby! My friend Alicia's sister is a player on the Cosmonaughties (Alicia, her sister "Ivanna Clobber" and Alicia's twins) and they were having a match against the Nutcrackers. It was a lot of fun, and not nearly as violent as I thought it would be. Probably because I remember watching roller derby on TV years ago, and that was one step removed from pro-wrestling. This was much more of a competition. Also, although they played hard, there was a lot of camaraderie between the two teams. It could have something to do with there being only three teams in the league.



Anyway, it is definitely something I'll go to again, probably try to drag some other people along as well.




Yeah, I suck at taking pictures. Of course, it isn't easy when they are moving fast and they have the lights down.
