Alright Burning River at it again, this time up in PA battling it out against Steel City Steel Hurtin’. Steel City has been on a warpath and I am hoping that they are glossing over us.
After our rough time at Brewhaha, we may look like just another team to step on, however we know how step it up when big challengers, bring big heat! Steel City who had they’re biggest match against Detroit and loss by only 45 points.

It should also be noted that this is the bout that sports blogger Jody Diperna will be attending. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of reading one of the most ignorant hit pieces trying to discredit roller derby, Her article can be found here.
It has taken her 6 months to watch a bout, so lets make it a bout that she never forgets!

All I am going to say for this bout is put everything you got out on that track, give all you got each time your on the track. I wish you all the best in this bout. I will be watching this bout on DNN, and most likely screaming my freaking head off! This is a tough team, but you guys are some of the toughest female athletes, I have ever had the pleasure of calling my friends.
I love you all, stay safe, kick some ass out there!

What a great time this was! I decided to make one of my favorite appetizer Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts. I ended up making 180 of those little bastards; I think they were all gone in about an hour! It is always good to see everyone. For the first few hours, I jumped around saying hi to so many people whom I’ve come to love, I could not believe how fast the time had went! But down to business; the whole reason we were there was to announce the results of the draft! The fresh meat was brought to the center floor with their mustaches looking better than anything I could ever grow(and I’m almost 30)! So basically the draft went down this:

Cleveland Steamers:

Killustrator (transfer skater from Leheigh Valley, also now on the All-Star team)

Electra Mayhem (transfer skater from Green Mountain Derby Dames in Vermont)

Take-out

Bamm B Hunt-her

Holly Huntress

Rainbow Fright

Death Proof

Rolling Pin-Ups:

Paddie Whacked

Lebrawl James

X-TRON-X

Hard Knockers:

Syren Van Dahl

Finnish-Her

Sergeant Fractal

Gorgon Girl

HellBombers:

Chelle Shock

Olive Bruises

Buggie Smalls

Delilah Dartmount

Of course the biggest draft announcement was Professor Booty, who was a free agent is now a member of the Rolling Pin-Ups! This is huge for the Pin-Ups, this puts them in a postion where the 2009 Hazard Cup is in they’re reach.  Another huge announcement was the tragic loss of the Steamer’s Pain Austen, who is going to be dearly missed. Pain Austen “The Mayor of Painesville” has went “ALL IN” in a game of “No Limit D.C. Hold em” and we’re hoping she has a full house “Queens over Aces”; we love you to death Pain!

So after the tears, hugs, and smack talking (mostly by me). The party ended with some beach ball hacky sack. I was glad to get to see everyone, hear how people are feeling about the ’09 season, and just get to talk derby with everyone! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
