Doubleheader at Du Burns

Tomorrow I'm going to a roller derby extravaganza. Not only are there two matches (games, bouts, rounds -- not sure about the unit)but the Charm City Roller Girls are taking on two teams from Philly! It's the Female Trouble and Mobtown Mods rumbling against the Independence Dolls and Liberty Belles.

Does this sound like a Janet Evanovich "between the numbers" episode?

It gets better. My guide for this adventure is Ian Brennan, a fellow communicator from the Mayor's office. Ian is from upstate New York and a long time roller derby aficionado. (Mike Frenz, also from New York, verifies it has a cult following there.)

Ian told me the fan experience at roller derby is unlike any other. Great comaradarie among the roller girls, their families, and their fans. I'm looking forward to this cultural experience, which begins at 7:00 PM tomorrow.
