Pictures from the last bout of the first Big Easy Rollergirls season are here. Alas, Fortuna did not shine on New Orleans this past Saturday evening: we lost to the Memphis Roller Derby Allstars (thanks mostly to this little piece of supersonic) and Victoria Van Doom ended up in the ER with a torn meniscus. The $500 raised for the Injured Skaters Fund at the bout will prove quite useful as Vandal O’Riley nicely recovers from several broken leg bones and shredded tendons. I make this rollergirl experience sound extremely tantalizing, don’t I? No worries – next season sees the debut of Mrs. Ashley Morris (at which time I expect all of your computer-chair-bound behinds out there at Mardi Gras World).
Lest you could not make it to regular season bouts and thus feel badly, the Big Easy Rollergirls are throwing you a party this Friday! Come join the rollergirls as they celebrate the end of their inaugural season, this Friday, May 25th at Generations Hall, 310 Andrew Higgins (Warehouse District) in The Metropolitan Big Room. There will be music, a cash bar and rollergirls and refs from around the country for the annual Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) conference. The doors open at 9PM, the awards start at 9:30, and the fun lasts all night! Let the rollergirls show you their appreciation for making this such a fantastic first season!
Vote and watch the results: Don’t miss the first annual Fleur de Wheel-Lis Awards at the Rollergirl party, hosted by Nutty McGillicutty. Who will win Chief of Skate: Rollergirl most likely be the president of the United States, The Flair Award: Best Dressed Rollergirl, Rollergirl You’d Take Home To Mom? You can go online now and vote for these categories and many more. Hurry! The polls close at midnight this Thursday.
Gee, from what I heard, it was too bad my D wasn’t taking you for a ride around the track at half time. Just a rumor mind you, but apparently operator error made it a lucky thing you weren’t on the back of that thing!
It isn’t a rumor; the kid actually wiped out the brand new Vespa, but Ruthie the Duck Lady was able to hop off before she went down, too.
