Lindsey LoBlow {5} vs. Juana Chingaso {52}


What a fun time at the Tucson Roller Derby Saturday night!

Their names alone were worth the price of admission.

The Vice Squad vs. Furious Truckstop Watresses

A few of the stars (and their uniform numbers) of the evening:

Millie Watt {.001W}
Myna N. Possession {<18}

Pick Onia Pie {3.14}
Sin A. Bunns {880cal}


Vice Squad
Police brutality never looked so good as on these scrappy lady cops.







FTW eats puppies.




My favorite Rookie: ROFL Copter {1337}


The skating action was a little less brutal than I expected.
There was more stategy than I thought there would be.
The scoring is confusing to me,
and it seemed that there were as many officials as skaters.
The two announcers did a very good job describing the action.

All in all, it was a great evening with my daughter and her extended family.

I haven't been this year, and I have to admit it was more fun when we went to a big old hanger rather than Key Arena, which is just too uptown for Roller Derby, but The Derby Liberation Front is my team!

If you want to see a fun documentary about Roller Derby, in fact featuring the Seattle team, watch Blood on the Flat Track. It really is interesting.

Probably a lot more brutal than what you saw.

Loved the names!
