Hey, I think I'm going to Beerland on Friday night after we drive in from San Antonio (cheap fare whores are we!) We should hook up at the derby, if for no other reason than to actually see each other in person once!

A review of Roller Girl

This is a really fun book. Melissa Joulwan is a very witty writer with a good sense of humor.
She really has done her research well for this first book about roller derby. There is accuracy in the book about the game and enthusiasm in the sheer love of it. She brings in a lot of interesting characters who represent all aspects of the game. It is really nice to have a positive work about roller derby. One learns not only about roller derby but is brought up to speed somewhat with the leagues and the cities involved. She is fair about this and gives a good cross view of the roller derby world. There is even some history here. Melissa Joulwan is a budding writer who shows good potential. Roller Girl is a fast, embracing read. It really gives a good look at roller derby and one person’s saga of joining a starting league and earning a spot on the team. A good book for sports enthusiasts as well as for lovers of pop culture. Roller Girl is a new book about a brand new sport. An old sport revisited.

I don't know if you know this, but I was once the guest skater with Assassination City Roller Derby last season. Many people, dogs, and cats do not seem to believe this.

That is why I present to you this photographic evidence.

I remember the bout well...
Before the game, I did some yoga with Ophelia Pain, and after the game, Mia Hammer gave me a shoulder and paw massage. That was HOT!
Here I am skating with Mia and O.P. on the Lone Star Assassins team.
I think that's why they won the championship.
