Gotham Girls Roller Derby

I've been all over the place recently and have not been doing a very good job of updating the old blog. I have been keeping busy though, and one of the best decisions I have made recently was to go to the Roller Derby up in the South Bronx. The match was between the Manhattan Mayhem and the Queens of Pain. I have to say, I don't know if it's the cool black uniforms or the dominatrix personas, but I really love the Queens of Pain. And I know I have a huge crush on Suzy HotRod and Rolletta Lynn. I'm just a fan boy at heart, I guess.

I tried to take some photos, but none of them came out very well. At best there are three that are ok. Here's one.

So, I will definitely go again next month. And I'm going to try to work on my action photography - maybe actually read the instructions for my camera - and see if I can't up the quality of my low-light-fast-motion photos. Perhaps Rolletta will even notice me on the sidelines and make me her pet. Or something.
