A couple of weeks ago, when I asked you what you’d like to read about, one commenter had a sad story to tell: I just broke my ankle last weekend. Freak skating accident, essentially my wheels were too grippy for the floor. Wheels gripped and ankle snapped while on a duck run. Once I build [...]

After Saturday night’s bout, the roller derby wanted answers. Mostly, they wanted answers to why Demanda Riot got ejected. I can see why it generated so much hubbub – the new rule is kind of weird and strict, and not many high-profile games have been played under this new rule set. Anyway, it looks like [...]

In the last five minutes or so left in the Rose/Rat third place game at Western Regionals, I took my trusty Media credentials down to the floor by the WOJ bench and took this video. I’m sorry: it is not a good video. It’s shaky, and I giggle and talk too much, and I swing [...]
Wow, I’m a nerd.

In our “rookie” expo game two years ago, Acid, Hockey Honey, Mel Mangles and I were all on the same team. That’s kind of funny, thinking about it now.

That was Rat City’s idea. When Assaultin’ Pepa came around for the victory lap, she announced, “Sorry! We didn’t want to do that!” For better or worse, it almost worked for Rat. I have the feeling that WFTDA will continue to look at the rules for starting jams. The parts with roller skating were really [...]
Eating string cheese at Westerns

Here’s something I probably should have thought of – since I didn’t eat dinner last night, I am ravenous today. Thank the derby gods for Effy, who pointed me to some string cheese. Protein! I might need another one (and another granola bar, etc.) to make it to the 4pm break. I’m supposed to be [...]
