Turn 2 decided to show up to the Expo to get our derby fix. The expo consisted of a 12-13 jam exhibition bout, which was well worth the trip down. We rented some skates, crashed into each other a couple times, and laughed our heads off skating around. We noticed that Finnish-Her had showed up to the bout, she saw us, but didn’t have the nuts to say hi (be brave fresh meat).

We spent some time chatting with Chrissie B. Hynde; she spoke of the great honor and incredible time she had, skating with the Xanadont’s in Fort Wayne. She also noted that she enjoyed watching Punk’d Pixie skate, and said she did really well. Shortly after we had a ordeal at the rink that made me feel like I was being treated like cattle (something I will not tolerate), so after quite the argument with a couple guys, they realized quickly to just leave me alone.

Finally we got some derby on; of course we sat turn two (no collisions though), and decided we would root for the black team. Both Chrissie and Teeny were on black so it was appropriate. I surprised to see so many girls (roughly 25 skaters), they are forming quite the league down there. Both teams played very well; though they did get gassed quicker than I would have like to see. There were a few times where jammers were unsure of who was lead jammer, and just lacking a strategical game play. But damn, we got to see some great crashes, heavy hits, and loud flops! For a league of this size, I was very impressed. Scarlet GoDancin did a great job as ref, and really seemed to keep the teams, in line and focused. Of course Turn 2 was correct when choosing the black team, they took the lead and never looked back.The bout ended with a score of 39 to 51.

The bruise of the night goes to “Pepper Insult” for the nasty bruise high on the thigh! And for the love of showing it off! Thank you North East Ohio Rock’n Roller Girls for a great night.

Bruise of the Night!
