DCRG's SPRING FLING with the Cincinnati Rollergirls' Black Sheep (their all-star travel team) is almost upon us. It's THIS Saturday, April 5th at the usual place, KFEC's West Hall. Doors open at 5:30pm and the bout starts at 7pm.
This is a very special bout, not only because it's the end of our spring home bouting season, but also because it marks some important transitions for DCRG players, including the home debut of two new skaters, the return from injury for one veteran, and the last bout for another veteran. Lil Bo Teeps and Smokahontas will be making their home bouting debuts, Raquel Squelch makes her triumphant return after breaking her leg in an away game last October, and MaMalicious, who has been with the league since the very first organizational meeting in the Summer of 2006, will be officially retiring after this bout, in anticipation of her move to New Orleans this summer to pursue her PhD. at Tulane University. All this and more makes the SPRING FLING the bout not to miss this season!
DO YOU HAVE YOUR TICKETS YET? Well if you don't, you can still get 'em at advance prices ($11 + fees) via Ticketmaster.com or at any Ticketmaster outlet. Or you can take your chances getting them at the door, for $16. The last two bouts have sold out, though, so consider yourself warned. And remember, it is your last chance til the end of July to see your Derby City Rollergirls at home here in Louisville, so don't miss out. And bring all your friends!
Afterwards, the party is on again at the Monkey Wrench. Your bout ticket stub gets you in for free, or it's only a $3 suggested donation for Kosair Children's Hospital at the door. Whether we win or lose, it's always a rockin' time at the After Party, and with this bout already having so much cause for celebration, it's liable to be amped up a notch regardless of the score.
Speaking of partying, TAILGATING IS ON again this Saturday, with a little later starting time and a little closer location to our venue. This time we got permission to use Lot L, which is directly west of West Hall (to the left if you're looking at it head-on), so the DCRG Thunder fan club will be out there by 4pm, getting geared up for the bout. Bring food, your beverage of choice (NO KEGS), and wear your black and red gear. The weather forecast as of now predicts mostly sunny skies and a high of 63 degrees, so that sounds just about perfect for tailgating! I missed out last time, so I'm really looking forward to it! Please come join us!
Make those posters. Gather up those noisemakers. Bring those screaming voices. And muster up all your excitement... 'cause the SPRING FLING is ON, and DCRG is ready to rumble! Watch out Black Sheep!
See you there!
As always, all the details can be found on the DCRG website.
