Caution: Derby Overload this Weekend.

So here is your gentle reminder. Tonight kicks off three big days of Derby happenings here in the lovely Rose City. According to an announcement from Executive Director Mean, all of these events are covered by Season Tickets. Ya just gotta bring'em wit ya.

This Merby (aka Roller Boys) event is a scrimmage with a $5 cover for non Season Ticket Holders

That crafty Skating with Scissors event is tomorrow 10am to 7pm at the Hangar.
A freebie event that is loaded with cool tangible goods to buy, thus tangibly supporting your local skaters and their supporters with your support.

The late add to the event schedule is the RCR appearance at the Alberta Street Fair on Saturday. Come out this Saturday to see it all you Last Thursday fans...

Sugar High Showdown with our Jr. Derby Rosebuds taking on Rat's Brats. Doors at Noon, bout starts at 1pm. There is a $5 cover for Non Season Ticket Holders or Season ticket holders that spaced bringing their Season Tickets. Come out and see your Derby Future.

There are some other bouts about, Emerald City closes their season with a City Championship and I hear Rainy City has a bout on the books. So there's plenty to do...

But wait, there's more...

The Brawl of America starts today from the heart of the sprawl of America. 10 teams enter, 3 team leave...sounds ominous. The tournament starts at 9:30 PST and complete bout schedule can be found at www.brawlofamerica.com.

A curious twist for me is coverage. As I set up my Mission Command Station this morning, it looks like DNN will only be providing Textcast through their site. Video feed has been contracted to another and that link is www.b2cabletv.com.

The first bout of the day has the North Starts (MN) matching up again Milwaukie's Brewcity. My heart goes out to the North Star team as they are dealing with some emotional challanges having lost one of their leagues own just yesterday. It's a tough story to read but you can check that out on the Derby Helper Blog.

Life is short, so get your Roller Derby while you can...

Ringers ex-studio / business partner is South side shinner on ARRG. She started derby after coming to see ringer in a couple bouts. They play Cinncinatti at 5:30 our time. I went to work early to make sure I could make it to a computer screen in time!

Oh, and B2's coverage is unreal. Instant replay baby!

As a good Ohio girl, I must inform you, Noz that "Cincinnati" is spelled with two "Cin"s. The second one is a worse sin, so it gets two "n"s and only one cross (a "t") to save them.

I think my fifth grade teacher told us that back in the day and I've never been able to stand the sight of a misspelled "Cincinnati" since then.

Oh, and I love you anyway.

I'll be in Eugene cheering for the Church of Skatin'!

I may make the Rosebuds bout the following day, if I'm not too trashed from the after party down there in Eugene!

Oh, and I love you too, Noz.
