Going home sick Friday I thought I was going to have to give my tickets away for my inaugural show into the world of roller derby. Saturday I was feeling a tad better but not too much. I still had the study session come over even though my head was pounding like a jack hammer. Avoiding booze was necessary but water was needed in large quantities as was aspirin. Once the study session broke down I got a tad bit of rest before we headed to Kimmy’s place. We, the four of us, were to meet there before the match so we could carpool. We ended up meeting fairly on time and went to a pizza place that KW’s friend recommended. He’s not allowed to recommend food places anymore. Leave that to the fatties. As we finished what we could of the pizza, we had a few minutes before the doors would open. Since this was all of our first time at such an event we didn’t know what to expect. Arriving at the rink a few minutes before the opening of the doors was so not necessary. interesting? Definitely! Needed? Hellz no!
The Game itself would be better served if the teams were split on days. Meaning that the Dot.Kamikazes and the KillaBytes played on different days. Of course this is my opinion and *I* have no understanding of why things are the way they are. What imagine from an outsiders perspective is that if these two squads run different days it’d be easier to balance which squad pulls in X amount and which squad pulls in Y amount. This of course may not be an important factor. I hope it isn’t personally because the camaraderie I saw last night was priceless. I do know though that after sitting thorough a fantastic first game I was so tired that I wasn’t able to stay awake because I was tired from cheering so much for another game. So while my newest heart throbs of Donna Diggler and Booty Vicious were shaking their thangs on the rink… my eyes wouldn’t let me enjoy what their mama’s gave them. Next time, and yes there will be a next time, if it’s a double header I will make the game with the vicious & diggler duo. #YUM!!!
Oh yeah Sunday was OK too. =)
