Howdy roller derby fans -
This downtime between bouts sucks, doesn't it?
Well, though it'll still be a while before you get to see your Derby City Rollergirls bout again, we do have a few upcoming events, and also a few announcements. So grab your calendars and take notes.
First, we want to remind you about the LVAA Boat Race Party tomorrow, Wednesday April 30th. 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's guest bartenders will be working for tips!
The next event will be coming up on Sunday, May 18th. It's a Call-Out Picnic in Tyler Park (on Baxter Ave between Eastern Pkwy and Mid City Mall), from 2pm - 4pm. Calling all future rollergirls ages 21 and older, with valid health insurance: If you're interested in being part of a homegrown, kick-butt, hard-skating roller derby league in Louisville, KY, we want to meet you, whether you know how to skate or not. If you've got a sense of adventure and a lot of heart, come on out and meet us for a little Q&A and BBQ. All body types and skating levels are encouraged to participate. This event also doubles as a celebratory party for our recently graduated rookies, who passed their assessments last weekend. So come on out and meet our newest rollergirls, and find out how to become one yourself. RSVP to info@... or by visiting myspace.com/derbycityrollergirls and sending a message there.
Did you miss DCRG on KET's Louisville Life program? Well it's not too late to see it. Visit KET's website and you can stream the show online or download it as a video podcast. I just finally got around to watching it, and it was really well done! It was definitely one of the better video pieces that has been done on DCRG, so check it out! (Though the entire show is 26 minutes long, DCRG's segment is only 5-6 minutes and is the first one, fyi.)
And lastly, our Fall Meet home opener has finally been scheduled. DCRG will take on the Dixie Derby Girls of Hunstville, Alabama on July 26th at the Fairgrounds! They are a Women's Flat Track Derby Association(WFTDA) ranked team and will be stiff competition, but your DCRG will be ready for it! More info about this and all the upcoming bouts as the dates near.
Here's the rest of DCRG's schedule for 2008:
Summer (Away Bouts):June 21 - DCRG v. Hard Knox (in Knoxville)July 19 - DCRG v. Bleeding Heartland Flatliners (in Bloomington, Indiana)Fall Meet (Home Bouts)July 26 - DCRG v.
