I get the feeling that this summer’s going to be a scorcher. That lovely Spring weather I was gushing about has faded into something more akin to a preheating blast furnace.
Saturday evening the Wife and I gathered with our mothers and various other posse members to take in a tooth-and-nail roller derby bout with our beloved Rocky Mountain Roller Girls handing a sound trashing to the visiting Angel City Derby Girls from LA. Apparently the ACDG are relatively new and they tried to compensate for the lack of experience by - as our Zoom Zoom Zetta put it to me - “playing sooo dirty”. As a spectator, I was thrilled. I was really worried Pinky 500 was going to throw down at some point, though (something I’ve only seen happen once so far). The night ended on a bit of a down note as Penny Payne needed to be helped off after a crash in the last jam.
Sunday kind of fell into the “too hot to move” category, so we took in Knocked Up. I’ll give it a B+. It’s not as funny as 40 Year Old Virgin, and a couple of the scenes were so obviously pieced together from hours of improv that they actually threw off the rhythm of the movie. All-in-all it’s a great chick flick that guys will enjoy.
And… Yeah… That’s about it.
So close to throwing down.
When getting to that point, I have to remind myself I don’t want to get ejected from game play.
Thanks for coming!
BTW -
Penny is alright.
Her and Zetta both got a bit banged up that night, but as derby girls, they can take.
They were up and skating again at the next practice and also skated on 5280 FC the following weekend in Atlanta as we took the win.

Rock on, Pinky!
Seems like our RMRG are really turning into a powerhouse on the flat track circuit. The last couple bouts I’ve made it to were (awesome) blow-outs. I remember the Rose City (Portland) girls either won or but up a killer fight. Other than that, I’m not sure who’s tough in the WFTDA.
