Things are getting really exciting, leading up to DCRG's season opening bout "LOVE HURTS" against the Rollergirls of Southern Indiana on Saturday February 2nd. All the bout and ticket details are below, but first we want to tell you:
If you're doing the FAT Friday Trolley Hop tonight, look for DCRG along the way! Some of the skaters will be out flyering for the bout on Frankfort Avenue, so keep your eyes open for them!
Then tomorrow night, DCRG will be working the bar at Headliner's for the Halfway To Forecastle mini-festival. All the details are on the Forecastle website, but I hope you already got your ticket, because the event is officially sold out!
Aside from these public appearances, here's a few more things to hold you over until February 2nd:
