The First Derby Season

This Saturday (Sept 8) is Maine Roller Derby's first bout of the first season. I am so excited I might piddle. The league has worked so hard to make this happen. Hell, it took us a year just to get the Portland Expo to secure us a date. I could drone on paragraph after paragraph about the hours of training, the sleepless nights, the meetings, the emails, the begging, but no one outside of rollergirls wants to hear about it. You all want action, action, action!

We're going to give it to you this Saturday (and Sept 22 and Oct 6). We're gonna give it to you hard.

At the bout you can expect live music, beer, raging lunatic fans, kid fans, quiet fans, freaks, and FULL-CONTACT ROLLER DERBY!

Personally, I am going to be out of control. I know this because I put together the soundtrack we skate to and there are far too many fast, angry songs on it. How can you not slam into a woman when you hear Master of Puppets?

I am probably one of the cleanest skaters on the league - meaning I rarely get penalties. This Saturday I am out for blood. And I'm taking everyone down with me.

Everyone has to see this. Make a sign for me. Make a sign for MRD. Just come and cheer! It'll be the best thing you ever saw.
