Sunday was my birthday and so, to get ramped up, we first had a mini-party at Game Night on Friday (thanks for the Bat Mitzva card, guys, how sweet!) and then went to the Roller Derby on Saturday. I guess Roller Derby is just coming back in on the West Coast, and the bout we saw was the final round of the Seattle Rat City Roller Girls' first season. Justin had been to one bout before, the Semi-Finals, and wanted to show me what I was missing. He was right-- it's pretty much the awesomest sport ever. And for the moment, the RCRG hosts its matches in a hangar across the street from us. The particular atmosphere combined with the level of violence in the sport makes it feel a bit like watching illegal boxing. The Portland team is opening their first season next week, and we're gonna road trip it down to P-town to watch their season. (Every bout, if we can help it!) If you're in Eugene, I seriously recommend getting a piece of the action. Tickets are only $10 and beer is plentiful!
