...so roller derby is kinda wild. What a unique sport. What a unique place to play. The memories of middle school come flooding back when you see those sweet, sweet light fixtures on the walls. I personally only frequented roller rinks for a short window of time when they decided to allow roller blades. Something about the regular skate wheel setup leaves me flat on my face the second I try to move, but the in-line setup is ok.
Much thanks to the sound guy who managed to balance out the acoustics of such an odd setting. And of course, much thanks to the Charm City Roller Girls for having us out. We particularly enjoyed talking to the mascot for the Night Terrors. Sweet top hat and cane! The crowd was intense. I can't believe that many people are willing to risk their finger tips and other extremities sitting right up to the edge of the match. Crazy. Totally crazy.
All in all, good fun! This coming week we hit up a slightly different kind of roller girls event, the DC roller girls after party at Asylum. The party starts at 10pm on Saturday night. We'll be there with bells (since we probably can't play with wheels) on. There's no cover, but it's a 21+ event. Also this week, we'll be opening for Sematic at the Firehouse Grille in Virginia on Friday night. This one is also 21+, and has a $5 cover. We don't get down into VA and DC quite as often as we're out around MD, so if you're down in those lower spots, make sure you get out to see us.
