21 days and counting...

... till I have a life again. I wish tomorrow was April 16! Oooooo.... then my next bout would only be three days away as well. Hmmm.... actually April is going to be a great month between seeing Paul Thorn at Canal Street Tavern on April 3, Shelley visiting again April 3-6, tax season ending April 15, my next roller derby bout on April 19, and then heading to Florida on April 29. OK, all is well in my head again. :)

GCRG vs B&BG 3/15/09

Thanks to sister Shelley for shooting the vid and posting to YouTube. The second clip is my favorite because I am playing blocker rather than jammer. I am wearing the purple helmet cover. I made it my goal to hit their jammer on every lap. :)

Quick Post...

... from a tired girl. What a day! Roller derby in the morning followed by partying at Bar Louie with the girls followed by a tennis match with the boys. Then, I was offered a Harley ride by a very cute 20something (Hi Brian!) and of course accepted! That plus all day fun with family and friends. Life is good! Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to watch my bout today. I definitely had the largest fan club there, but wow what a turnout overall. Kudos and special thanks to Shelley for traveling and braving the Ohio cold weather just to see her little sister in her first roller derby bout. Unfortunately, GCRG lost but it sure was fun and yet another experience for my history book. :)

Shelley took lots of cool pix and shot some video which will be posted when she gets back to Florida so check back soon!

April 19 Bout

Looks like the Ohio Rollergirls from Columbus are coming to D-town to play us on April 19 at our rink, Skateworld of Kettering. Of the 20 GCRG girls that were chosen for the April - June season, only 14 can be put on the roster for this bout. I found out today that I am on the roster of 14 so YAY me! :)

Here are pics of my practice/scrimmage jersey for those who have asked about it. We have white ones with black print also. Our bouting jerseys are purple (yes, purple) with white stripes on the sleeves.

Team Name Change

Apparently there were many girls who didn't like the team name chosen so we decided to vote again using the top two names... Roughhouse Rubies and Pistol Whips. Suffice it to say that my new post-game statement will be... "Damn, we really pistol whipped those derby wenches!"
