Roller derby in Tucson

Emily "Fisti the Kid"... breaks loose from the pack during a bout in advance of this weekend's flat-track tournament.

A well written article from the Arizona Daily Star:

Women who elbow in :
National gathering here spotlights sport's comeback


I like the part about the "bizzarre stream of consciousness narrative." That I have got to see. The article also says the teams who are eliminated during the "jams" will retire to the beer garden. Now that is my kind of sport- go out there and give it your best, and retire to the beer garden.

Plus, where else can you see cool bands, drink beer, and watch women who are not a bunch of whiners engage in a great wheeled sport? See www.tucsonrollerderby.com

Skates? I sure do like 'em on tough chicks! They whirl around the ring like sweet monkeys...I have purchased their used socks on the internet.

Roller Derby leaves me blind and
anxious. The same thing used to happen while I watched reruns of
Gunsmoke. I don't know, problems seem to beset me. Once I had a seizure on the cross town bus and when I woke up my shirt was gone
and someone had written "lenny" on
my stomach.

What's all this roller derby nonsense? No one's worn a derby in over 80 years other than Star Trek
reruns.
I'm working on a new book and hanging out. Sometimes I go for gorditas.
At the resturant I'm known as Mr.Snickers. I like nascar racing.
I often fight-off friends who try to murder me in my sleep.
War is my uncle.
