Incredible derby weekend ahead.
In fact, to paraphrase a line from Lou Reed's liner notes to Metal Machine Music, this weekend beats your year.
Friday night, April 16, Portland's Wheels of Justice all-star team clashes with Baltimore's Charm City Roller Girls at the Oaks Park Hangar, doors at 7, bout at 8. Portland, sixth in DNN's Power Rankings faces off with eleventh ranked Charm City in an inevitably tough bout against a gritty east coast team on the first leg of a Pacific Northwest swing, wherein Charm also meets Oly and Rat.
Bout is sold out, but if you didn't get tickets, you can watch a great live broadcast here on your computer, or live at Kay's or Buffalo Gap (info at the above link) in high def. And one must emphasize that these live boutcasts are extremely high calibre. Great stuff, RCR.
Saturday, April 17, sold-out last regular season Portland intra-league bout before the June 4-5 semifinals: Break Neck Betties v High Rollers.
Season standings are currently tight, and this bout will help determine the semi-final match-ups.
And in case you didn't get the memo, we'll clue you in: every day this RCR season is Anything Can Happen Day. Most competitive season ever. Best season ever. Either team can win on Saturday. Victory is assured for no one.
Boutcast link forthcoming.
Sunday, April 18, The Rosebuds v Seattle's I-5 Rollergirls in a great youth benefit at the Hangar. Doors at noon, bout at one, love is all around. $5 at the door. And you can give even more.
Other stuff
Doc Snark has a post on last weekend's Heathers/GnR bout that seems to interpret the Heather's victory as sort of an inverted double one-and-a-half rope-a-dope with a twist. Good reading over there. Go spew in the comments.

Why can’t I be in several places at once, damn it? Eugene is playing Humbolt in Eugene this weekend. Also, I’d love to follow Charm City around all weekend to see their bouts. Damn, there is just too much going on this weekend. I’m just going to stay in Portland and hopefully see the High Rollers beat the Betties. But if it turns out to be a total boring blowout, I’ll be sure to post some bitter comments about how I should have gone to Eugene or followed Charm City around all weekend. Why can’t these events be spread out, as opposed to crammed into one weekend, so I can see it all? Life is hard for a young white male.
I feel your pain George.
