I went to a Roller Derby match last night. Ask me anything.

1. My future sister-in-law is a roller derby skater

Has nothing to do with my alias, though - that's just a happy accident.

2. It was the best $12 I've spend in a long time.

The costumes, skating, crowd, live bands, cheezy entertainment.....all GREAT!

3. Roller derby? Geeze it's been a while since I've heard about that

cool! I remember watching it on TV when I was a kid in the 70s.

6. It's making a comeback of sorts thanks to a group in Dallas

Now teams are popping up all over the place. And it was a fairly good sized crowd. In fact, we were kind of concerned it might be a sell-out and we wouldn't get tix.

8. Did you watch a match in Dallas yesterday?

If so, which teams were competing?

4. Was it the Thunderbirds vs. Whothefuckever....

I saw them in Philly once and enjoyed the hell out of it. 747 Arlene Brown. Skinny Minnie Miller.

9. No, it was the KC league.....I believe it was the Silent Assasins vs

The Brides. Fun Stuff.

5. Its there an actual sport in there?

Or is it just an excuse for a show?

[Scout1071]

7. It's definitely sport, but totally entertaining.

There were a few scripted moments, but they were primarily just for laughs.

11. COOL!

I always wanted to see a Roller Derby in person.


Where did it take place?

12. I would highly recommend checking out a match in a city

near you. Seriously, the whole thing was totally entertaining......and weird.
