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!
