mike, adam and i got there and found some seats.
we were a part of the big, diverse crowd. estimating large numbers of people isn't really a strength of mine. i'm guessing there was about five hundred there.
the action got going.
brian showed up after the first period. i think he's awake in this picture. adam seems to be enjoying something.
another photo of the action.
overall, we had a very good time. it was fun to do something different, to have a new experience. and, our side won 124-95! the action was fun, and quick paced. the announcers did a good job to help keep the crowd informed on what was happening, which was very helpful for those of us not really familiar w/roller derby. and, the supressors played in between periods. good ska music. it too bad that this was the last match for the season, because i'd have liked to attend more, now that i've gotten a taste. i guess there's next year.

I was laughing in that second picture because you made some comment about Brian's expression.
I like the couple in the background.. the woman's leaning over all like "that guy with the iPhone is taking out photo" and the man's all like "yeah I'm totally posing."
Meanwhile Adam looks like he just peed in the pool and nobody knows it.. yet.
out = our.
That'll teach me not to proofread.
it was fun. and there were some pretty girls in the crowd...so that was nice.
and to prove that i'm terrible at estimating crowds, they presold 800 tickets, and sold 200 more at the door. i thought my 500 guestimate was high, looks like it was half.
and jimminy christmas, what about the size of the holes in that guy's ears. yowza! i've seen him around before, but i'm always a bit amazed when i see people who've stretched their ears that far.
I would have loved to go to something like that! I'm glad you all branched out and watched some girls kick some ass on roller skates, good for you!
