Derby, Derby, Derby

Well I couldn’t get any flyers yet, but here ^ is the bout poster (that’s my teammate Whiskey Wheels in it) and below is my rollergirl picture. We are the Angels of No Mercy. And here is a link to the team’s official Web site. Find me and you’ll find out my skater name.

This past weekend was pretty awesome! A friend from out of town that I haven’t seen in more than 2 years came to visit. But one thing absolutely made my weekend. There was a roller derby bout in OKC, the southwest Missouri team against the Tornado Alley (OKC) rollergirls. The SWMRG were a few short on the roster, so four girls from our team went to play, and another four of us carpooled up there to watch and cheer them on. While I was there, I bought 5 raffle tickets at $1 apiece (they were calling out numbers to give prizes away at halftime – like haircuts, gym memberships, massages, mani/pedis, $200 gift certificates for tattoos, etc.). Then they got to the final, biggest prize, and I won it! It’s a $320 gift certificate for a tattoo from First Amendment Tattoo Company in OKC! So I get to get a $320 tattoo for only $5! I was beyond psyched. I love tattoos (have four so far) and haven’t been able to get one in a few years. I can’t wait!! I just have to figure out what I want and make a weekend trip up to the city.

Next (and final post for Gina’s class) – Feeling Old.
