Roller derby fans, we're in a long dry spell. DCRG's next home bout out at the Fairgrounds isn't until the end of July, and though we certainly hope and want you all to come to our away bouts in Knoxville and Bloomington, Indiana in June and July, we certainly understand not everyone can. (Dates for those bouts below.) So in the mean time, how about partying with us? Tis the season, ya know. (Derby season, of course!) But we're not going with just any old Derby theme. Horses, schmorses. We're going HAWAIIAN!

That's right. It says "Comeoniwannaslaya." Witty, no? Break out your best luau gear (doesn't everyone own a grass skirt?) and join us for some uninhibited fun this Saturday night (April 19th) at the Monkey Wrench (corner of Barret and Winter), starting at 9 p.m. Cover is only $5 with all proceeds going to your Derby City Rollergirls, Louisville's only grassroots, women's flat track roller derby league. DJ Kim Sorise will be setting the mood and hopefully inspiring you to limbo (!), and who knows what other mischief DCRG has in store. The only way to find out is to show up!
Also, with that other Derby gearing up, let me mention another date you might want to jot down on your calendar. DCRG will again be guest bartending for the LVAA Boat Race Party, Wednesday April 30th. Here's the official blurb:
The Louisville Visual Art Association's annual Boat Race Party is a family-friendly event providing a scenic backdrop for the day's main attraction, the Great Steamboat Race. The party takes place in the park-like setting of the Water Tower grounds at 3005 River Road. Partygoers can cheer the local favorite Belle of Louisville alongside the banks of the Ohio. Food and refreshments, arts and crafts, rides and performers, featuring the Radio Disney crew, School of Rock and Step-N-Out Dance School, are included in the ticket price and keep the activity level high for children and adults throughout the day. Ample free parking and covered dining tents add an extra level of comfort and convenience. Boat Race Party festivities begin at 3:30 PM and continue through 7:30 PM. Tickets can be ordered by mail, phone, or in person at the Louisville Visual Art Association's offices at the Water Tower, 896-2146. For complete information, contact lvs@... or call 896-2146, ext. 108.
Come thirsty and tip generously, as the DCRG will be working for tips at the LVAA boatrace party!
