Dear Fans & Friends

This is a big weekend for your Ithaca SufferJets!  We are rolling in the new 2009 season with not one, but TWO big events this weekend.  We hope you can make it!

 **

The first event is  the first-ever SufferJets Valentines Day Party, featuring live music by one of our favorite bands- the Sutras.  That’s the SufferJets + Sutras at Castaways at 9 pm until late.   We’ll have great door prizes, nibblies to keep you dancing, and we’ll be announcing the 2008 SufferJets Appreciation Awards.  Come find out who among you has been selected as the “Fan of the Year” and which big trap in town is getting the “Word of Mouth Award.”  Castaways is located on the inlet, across from Island Fitness at 413 Taughannock Boulevard.

Tickets for this event are 2 for $20 in advance or $15 at the door.  Advance tickets are being sold at Castaways, Petrune, Korova, Felicia’s atomic Lounge, and Volume records.   Bring your advance-purchase ticket to Petrune for 10% off your vintage party get-up.

Then on Sunday, the SufferJets will join forces with the Syracuse Psycho Dolls as “Central New York’s Ice Queens” as they take on the Hellions of Troy in a bout of fire and ice!  The match is the first of our season, and the first of a short series of “away” games.  We’d love to see some SufferJets fans in the crowd, so head on up to The Fun Spot in Queensbury, NY on Sunday, 2/15.  Doors open at 6 pm, the first whistle blows at 7.  Queensbury is about 30 minutes north of Albany.  Suf-fer-Jets!  Suf-fer-Jets!  Suf-fer-Jets!

We are trying to organize a fan van for away games, please e-mail info@... if you are interested in driving or helping organize this effort.

 We hope to see you all out there this weekend as the SufferJets kick off their second season of action-packed roller derby fun!

 Thanks for all the support out there!  You rock, we roll.

Your roller derby servant,
