A bit of excitement...

Ok, now that the less exciting post is out of the way, time for something I am a bit excited about....

THE NEXT SYDNEY ROLLER DERBY BOUT!!!!

From Dusk till Derby is on May 6th at Sydney Olympic Park and I'm excited!!! A night out with the girls to see some derby! My chosen team, The Beauty School Knock Outs, aren't playing in this bout so I need to decide who I will be cheering for so I can select an outfit accordingly.

Although I have only just started following derby (and yes, had it not been for the movie "Whip It" I wouldn't even know what derby is) but I have fast fallen in love with it! Tough women playing a fast and fun sport all set to rockin music is a sport I can get on board with! I am so thrilled that the sport is really taking off over here - 2 extra teams in the sydney league this year, hopefully even more next year!

I will be starting to learn to skate soon, I have my skates, helmet, wrist/elbow/knee guards and a derby name... all I need is the ability to skate (a minor detail), but hopefully one day I will be out on the track as a derby girl instead of just cheering them on! (and as someone who has never had the slightest interest in participating in a sport this is pretty huge for me!)
