Two Words: Roller Derby

Saturday was opening night for the Tucson Roller Derby. I know, right? How do you *not* go?

The place was packed, which made me happy. So great to see local events do well, especially in tough economic times. None of us had been to roller derby before, so we had no idea what was happening. I was expecting to see hair pulling, tripping, lots of elbowing, but I was sadly disappointed. As Skip said, "huh, this is more like an actual sport." And it was. Rules, several refs, scoring. I've kind of figured out the rules, sort of, although I'm not entirely sure. But, we had fun anyway.


Now I want a bad-ass roller derby name. Any suggestions?
