Howdy roller derby fans -

I won't go into ALL the details of the upcoming SOUTHERN HOSTILITY bout on Saturday March 22nd at 7pm at the Kentucky Exposition Center's West Hall, cuz you can just read the poster (below), visit the DCRG website , or visit this yahoo group's homepage  and read the last email I sent you.

But I will remind you that TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW and are going fast! If you haven't gotten yours yet, you definitely should, as this bout is likely to sell out just like the last one and you don't want to get turned away, now, do you?

Here's the Ticketmaster link: Buy tickets here! Or you can always buy them at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) Ticket Office or any Ticketmaster outlet, or by phone (502-361-3100 or 1-800-487-1212). And if you buy them in advance, you save a few bucks, as advance tickets are $10 plus Ticketmaster's service fee. They are $15 at the door on the day of the event, if there are even any left.

Also, here's some other interesting news.

There will be tailgating at the March 22nd bout! Yes, you read that right. Some industrious fans took it upon themselves to get the OK from the KEC Director of Security, and we're cleared to tailgate in Lot H or G, inside of Gate 4, which is the one on Crittenden Drive where UofL football tailgating typically happens. Though this location is technically on the other side of the fairgrounds from West Hall, maybe if we all turn out and show them that DCRG fans can tailgate responsibly, we can get them to let us doing it a little closer to West Hall in the future. Regardless, it's pretty cool that they are allowing this, so let's take advantage!

Here's all the tailgating details: It starts at 1:30 p.m. and goes til about 5:30 p.m., so tailgaters still have time to get the good seats at the bout. The KY State Fair Board asks that we "have fun but not be disorderly," NO KEGS ALLOWED, and we must clean up after ourselves. Security can ask us to leave otherwise. But I think it's a fabulous idea, and I know some of the DCRG Thunder will definitely be out to support. Feel free to bring food and beer, and/or just come on out and join us for some pre-bout fun!

And don't forget about the After Party! Directly after the bout, at the Monkey Wrench. Bout ticket stubs get you in for free, or it's a $3 donation to the Kosair Children's Hospital. DJ Kim Sorise will be in the house, and much debauchery will be had by all.

Other news:

DCRG will be in the Ancient Order of Hibernians St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday, March 15th. It starts at 3 p.m. and traverses the Baxter/Bardstown Road route from Broadway to Midcity Mall. Don your green and partake of some Irish pride with us!

Tickets for our April 5th bout SPRING FLING against the Cincinnati Rollergirls will be going on sale Saturday March 22nd, the day of the Southern Hostility bout. So this is just a heads-up, since it's a pretty quick turnaround between these two bouts. Get 'em the 22nd when you come to the KEC for Southern Hostility, or we'll post the link whenever the ticket sales go live.

Did you know DCRG has a new Facebook page ? You probably already knew we have a MySpace page, but now we're on Facebook too! Visit the page and become our fan!

Alright. Now you have ALL the scoop. Hope to see you all very soon!
