Roller Girl Night
As I stated in a previous post, one must experience a night with the Naptown Roller Girls. The best way to do it...
Acquire appropriate team attire:
Consume mass quantities of alcohol and obtain seats directly behind the opposing team's bench - to fully enjoy the names these respectable women come up with (click on picture to read the names):
During the halftime entertainment, make sure to call over Ref Raf, the referee, to try to persuade him to make more favorable calls for the Naptown Roller Girls (click on picture to see the glistening sweat of Ref Raf):
Afterwards, obtain signatures of the players. If you don't have paper, use your body, these ladies will sign anywhere:
NEXT MATCH APRIL 21st!!!

So. Awesome. Words, elusive.
Dada's grad students go see the Wilmington Roller Girls all the time, and they also love it. Looks like a rollicking good time. And according to myspace, Naptown's Four Leaf Cleaver was in my graduating class at Pike.
You HAVE to find a babysitter, grab yo' man, and go to one of these - they are such a good time! I have moments where I feel like it would be fun and want to try out, until I see a 250 lb 6'6" woman knock the lead jammer down, and I can hear her bones breaking...then I just appreciate that I am a spectator of this fine sport.
Jean, if you ever decide to become a roller girl, here is a name suggestion for you-
Assaultin' Peppa
Amita - that is an amazing name! I am planning on being one...for Halloween, so I will have to use it.
Also, a side note, I learned from my dad that apparently my grandma LOVED watching this sport back in the day...it is in my genes!
