I wanna be a Derby doll

I’d been wanting to see these roller derby gals forever and I finally just did.

It was a blast. Fast paced and exciting, you couldn’t help but get all loud and crazy. In a big old warehouse in Silver Lake, Tecate in a can for 5$ is the refreshment of choice. Love that. No fancy pants allowed. These skater girls and everyone working are all volunteers, no one is doin it for the money. How great is that.

If you haven’t been, you’ve gotta check it out. The crowd was an endearing mix of older Nascar types and youngish cool kids. During intermission there’s a band, snacks and cool stuff to buy from skull-oriented vendors, cause a girl can never have too much spider jewelry. I can’t wait to go again and I’m not even sure of all the rules, but it was surprisingly official and shit. It made me wanna learn how to skate again and yell at some bitches to get outta my way.
