Rollergirls
Posted by Lanea on Friday, March 23rd, 2007
Normally, I talk about the Equinoxes (Equinoces?). This year, I just lived it. Bare, freshly-pedicured feet standing in cool, awakening soil. Gorgeous. Peaceful. Balanced. Budding.
And it made me really really excited for smash-em-up insanity. A friend of ours is reffing, a whole passel of us crow-heads are going, and I’m guessing that several folks from my DC ska-obsessed youth will be there. What a fantastic excuse for a reunion.
Are you going? Why aren’t you going? I was obsessed with Roller Derby as a little kid, much to my mother’s chagrin. I still want to be a rollergirl when I grow up . . .

Thinking back to my youth and what you saw of Roller Derby. stereo-types stick in my mind. I was always scared of the Rollergirls and knew I would be snapped in two if I ever got into the rink with them.
Hope you have a blast today!!!
