roller derby!!

We went to our first roller derby match last night, it's fairly popular in Portland, and it was soo much fun. It's all women teams, everyone has great, crazy stage names -- Sharon Hate, Soul Train, Madame Bumps a lot, Fire Crotch, Apocolipstick, etc. It was the grand championship, with the High Rollers going up against the Break Neck Betties, and the Guns N' Rollers facing the Heartless Heathers.

We went with Lisa and Steve, and it was such a party. It attracted everyone from parents with kids to people who dress up in trashy roller derby costumes to everything in between. The first match, between the High Rollers and the Break-neck Betties was kind of lame, it was slow and not well played. And then when the other teams started, it got so much better. These girls are great skaters, we ended up rooting for the Heartless Heathers, who won, but they only had a few point lead throughout the entire match. Everyone goes crazy when their team scores, and we were all in the stands screaming and cheering for the Jammer, the girl who scores the points, to skate faster, and cheering more when they hit girls from the other team. Such a riot.
