11. Oh yeah.. I'm totally ready..
I figure, she's spent the better part of 10 years as a rockband widow, so I'm happy to support her in this.. the funny thing is, she's tiny! All of 5' 3", 90 pounds.. but she's fierce.. I imagine she'll make a great jammer

14. The smaller jammers are so great to watch.
I love it when they double as pivots, too. I think The Harmacist (ex-GnR) is 5' 2" and she was a phenomenal pivot, and is a great coach. Gotta love Scratcher in the Eye from the RCR Heathers and the Axles of Annihilation, too. She sounds like your girl: fierce and fearless.

Are you going to the Rust Riot next weekend? I wish I could, but I have to crash and burn in my own bed.

16. I wish we could go the the Rust Riot, but she works on saturdays..
we've been volunteering for the time being, until she can actually join the team, and it would be very cool to go and sell merch or whatever, but alas, not this time... I'll have to look up the ladies you mentioned.. they sound pretty bad-assed!

8. What's the difference between a derby and a bowler?
I never thought about it until Just Now.

10. I have GOT to make it out to see the Lone Star Rollergirls
http://www.txrd.com/

I miss the show on A&E. It's always neat to see one's hometown on TV. :)
