Roller derby fans, are you ready for DCRG's bout this Saturday against the Blue Ridge Rollergirls of Asheville, NC?

Southern Hostility, indeed.

Do you have your tickets?

If not, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Don't risk being turned away at the door. Get them now! You can still get 'em at the advance ticket price of $10 plus fees via Ticketmaster HERE . Or you can call to order them or pick 'em up at any Ticketmaster location. (Of course, if you're a gambler, you can wait til Saturday and buy them at the door for $15, if there are any left!)

Be sure to specify, though, that you want tickets for SOUTHERN HOSTILITY on March 22nd, as pre-sale tickets for Ticketmaster club members for the April 5th SPRING FLING bout against Cincinnati are also currently on sale, so there's been a little confusion.

(General admission tickets for the SPRING FLING bout go on sale to the public Saturday morning at 10 a.m., so you can actually pick those up in person at the Kentucky Expo Center when you come to the bout on Saturday!)

OK, now that we've got all that straightened out, do you remember me telling you that there would be tailgating for this bout? Well it's definitely on! The weather forecast for Saturday is partly cloudy and temperatures in the mid to upper 40's - a little cool but generally pretty darned good tailgating weather. Just go to Lot H (right inside Gate 4 - check the map here ) between 1:30 and 5 p.m. and look for all the crazy DCRG fans in their red and black gear! We'll be there, eating, drinking and generally workin' ourselves into a frenzy in anticipation of the bout. The only rules are: don't bring any kegs, don't be disorderly, and pick up after yourselves. Seems pretty simple to me! So come on out and join us! The more the merrier!

Doors for the bout open at 5:30 p.m. and the bout starts at 7 p.m. Get there early if you want those good seats! And then after the bout, don't forget about the After Party at the Monkey Wrench (1025 Barret at Winter). That last one was off the hook! Keep your bout ticket stubs, as they gain you free entrance to the After Party - it's $3 for everyone else, with proceeds going to the Kosair Children's Hospital this time. And though DJ Kim Sorise will be spinning at the actual bout, DJ Matt Anthony will take over for the After Party this time, just to shake things up.

OK, that's it. Posters are below for both upcoming bouts with all the pertinent information. Don't forget to wear your black and red. Noisemakers are encouraged! And we'll see you on Saturday!!!

GO DCRG!
