Power of the Stripes

2445638238_5e8528e549_bAgain folks, if you didn't make it to the bout, you really missed out. Once again the lovely and talented Emerald City Roller Girls sold out the joint. Yep, packed the fair grounds full. 3,000 plus roller derby faithful screaming and cheering for our awesome ladies, and filling the air with an electricity that cannot be described. Very Phil Collinsesque.

The bout was great. Coos County got worked over by our Andromedolls, but played their hearts out nonetheless. I really admire those chicks determination and love for the game. The Andromedolls really played great. Very impressed with those chicks as well. Very impressed.

The Church of Sk8in' and Flat Track Furies bout was an epic battle, and even included a real deal brawl, which I didn't get to see unfortunately. That's right, fervorous fists rained down from the skies like hate filled stones. Not to say that I encourage this kind of behavior in roller derby, I don't. The sport has been trying to recover from that image and establish themselves as a legit sport, which it absolutely is, but on the other hand, I'm a sports fan and a good bench clearing brawl is something that I have always enjoyed as a fan. My fellow refs did a fantastic job restoring the order. Good job zebras.

Both of these teams came into the bout undefeated, and both played like champions, but in the end the Church prevailed narrowly. I was impressed with the efforts of both teams. Great, great bout it was. I wise man once said, "After a bout, half of the people are happy and half the people are sad. Then we drink beer." Or something along those lines. Soooo true. I got nothin' but love for the entire ECRG organization. Pretty much the coolest kids I know. A great time was had by all.

Rocking the stripes finally paid off. Not to say that all the love and appreciation I receive from the ladies isn't enough, because it is, and I do love the free post bout beers. Really--but anything beyond that is extra sweet. While cleaning up after the bout I was approached by a wicked hot derby fan who hooked up the digits. Oh yeah, the ladies love the stripes.

Well, here it is. You have been informed, so don't come at me with that ish next week unless you want to be slapped in the tits. Go get your tickets pronto because these things are selling like hot cakes. Tickets can be had on their website, at Fastlane Coffee, or through me possibly, so holler at'cha boy. Get 'em well the gettin' is good folks. These suckers won't last.

A good time will be had by all. That is a guarantee! Dope tunes. PBR tall cans. Scantily clad ladies beating the shit out of each other, and hopefully not me. What more can you ask for?

Unsatisfied customers will be allowed to kick me square in the baby maker.
