Houston Roller Derby Rocks!
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Tonight was the first night of Houston Roller Derby for 2009! What a great night to see all of our favorite skaters tonight either on the track or behind the microphones. Dementia. Mistilla. Jeckill & Heidi. DBC. And that newcomer, Speedo Racer.
It’s is so great to see these talented, young women doing what they love and having a blast doing it. Moreover, the thrill that they give the fans with their athleticism and talent, is unmeasurable.
Tonight, we played in the new venue for the HRD, Kicks, on Shepherd between Memorial and Washington. The first match was the Bayou City Bosses versus a new team from Corpus Christi. The final score was a little lopsided but it was great to see two teams, one extremely experienced and the other, not, play their hearts out for no pay but for the love of the sport. The second bout featured The Psych Ward Sirens vs. the Burlesque Brawlers. This match was very hard-hitting and exciting throughout. Dementia was back to her great old form scoring at ease throughout the night.
A great time was had by all. (more…)
