TOXIC SPILL: Toxic 253 debut derby bout this Saturday!!!!

Reasons I haven't blogged in awhile: kids, roller derby, kids, breaking my leg, kids, learning to walk again, kids, missing roller derby, kids, and other lovely life stuff.

Reasons you should come to TOXIC 253's virgin roller derby bout against the Rainy City Rolling Thunders:

1) We be gritty.
2) Variety! We have juniors and guys and derby girlz galore!
3) You can bring the kids if you want (7 & under are free)
4) We'll prove t-shirts look better drenched in sweat.
5) You can mock me trying to figure out the microphone. (Sad me, not on skates, still mending from my little summer tumble at practice.)

Plus, it's just darn good fun. And while the nurse at my doctor's office gave me strange looks the first time I came it with a hurt knee and bruises on my wrists and asked me "Roller derby? You mean that stuff that used to be on TV in the 70s? why would you DO that?" ... it's fun, really. We knock each other over and kiss and make up later. (Ok, usually just hugs.)

Doors open at 5 at Wheelz Skate Arena in Fircrest. Skating starts about 6. We plant to play until 9 or 9:30 ... then the Poison Ivy Junior Derby girls and pals will after-party at the Narrows Bowling alley while the Toxic 253 ladies head over to the Loose Wheel Bar & Grill. (BTW, if you go to Loose Wheel and get a "Pit Pass," you can ask to dedicate your points to Toxic 253 and help support future derby girl fun!) Tickets are $10, an extra $2 for the "VIP area". 7 & younger are free. And T-shirts will be on sale for $10!



P.S. I'm collecting crazy phrases and words and sayings to work into my announcer duties ... any nominations? Then come and see if I use them ... heehee.
