Hello roller derby fans!

Are you as excited as we are?! It's only a few days away now, the big re-match between your Derby City Rollergirls and the Naptown Rollergirls. This Sunday, June 10th, The Bluegrass will indeed Strike Back at Treo Roller Rink  (721 Gagel Ave.) at 7pm (doorsopen at 6pm). Our rollergirls have been training hard to take their revenge on the Tornado Sirens, and you won't want to miss it!!

Advance tickets are still available at a discounted rate of $11 and some change ($10 + service fee), and as long as the bout doesn't sell out ahead of time, you can always get your tickets at the door on Sunday, for $15 (cash only). Since our theme is "The Bluegrass Strikes Back," we have a special promotion running for anyone who gets all festive and shows up in their Star Wars garb - a free DCRG bumper sticker!! Plus we'll have special themed promotional goodies to hand out to the early birds who get to the rink before we run out, so the force can be with you! Let's see those suicide seats packed this time, ok?!!!  Posters, signs, noisemakers, and pom-poms are highly encouraged!!!

(By the way, Naptown is reportedly bringing down a few busloads of fans, so if you want suicide seats - or any seat - you better get there when the doors open!)

Bout music will be provided by DCRG team DJ Kim Sorise, and the league will have all their branded merchandise there for sale, including stickers, patches, posters, t-shirts and tanks... plus brand spankin' new team t-shirts for the Jackie O'Nasties and the Red Menace!!

Afterwards, come party with the DCRG at the Monkey Wrench (Barret at Winter). Suggested donation at the door is $5, with all proceeds going to the Kentucky Humane Society. DCRG team DJ Kim Sorise will again be in the house, providing the bumpin' soundtrack to the celebration.

There are several more upcoming events throughout the rest of June on the DCRG calendar that you won't want to miss:

Friday, June 15th: Join the DCRG for the Kentuckiana Pride Festival Parade. It kicks off at 8pm, forming at Market at Preston, and then moves west on Market, north on Floyd, west on Main Street, ending at 5th and Main, at the entrance to the Festival on the Belvedere. We love a parade - especially one we can skate in!! Did we mention it's free?

Sunday, June 17th: Pull your skates out of the closet and dust them off, ladies, because call-outs for new skaters happens today. Watch a practice and get all the scoop about becoming a Derby City Rollergirl. 3-5pm Treo Roller Rink. More info: info@....

Saturday, June 30th: The DCRG will have a booth at the Germantown Shotgun Festival, a neighborhood festival behind the Atomic Saucer, Oak at Swan. Food, drink, music, crafts, and local businesses will all be a part of this gathering... more details coming soon!

Thanks for reading down this far, and we hope to see you at the bout on Sunday!
