Off for the weekend!



SO, I am headed to the Seattle area to play in a roller derby tournament this weekend. We will be, more specifically, in Bremerton, Wa. The tourney is hosted by the Slaughter County Roller Vixens. I am excited to play, but it is always very difficult to leave Autumn and Adam for a weekend. It is bittersweet for another reason though, it is our first travel game without our former Captain, Kamikaze Kim. I really thought she was an excellent captain for MOST of the time that she lead the Munecas Muertas and it was a sad day when she left duke city for almost everyone. It is also The first bout that Killer Queen and I will be captains. I am a little worried because our team has changed a lot and we are missing two of our top scoring jammers this weekend (Kamikaze Kim who moved to Seattle, and Muffin who will not be attending for personal reasons). I think that we have made some progress in some areas, and I also think that with better attendance at practice and positive attitudes we could really be an amazing team this season.


I am also afraid I will forget something important...

  2. Hey! Bremerton is across the water from Edmonds where I live! Well, southwest of me to be exact. Be careful--Bremerton has some really nasty areas. If you have a chance the Manette area (across the bridge from downtown) is pretty cute :)

    I'm so excited for you! Sorry, I just freakin' love skating! Hope you have a good time and get right back to your family :)
