Roll Call


UIC Pavilion in Chicago, early November 2010. A place filled with the extremes of the 21st century human soul. A giant gathering that brims with high hopes, booming music, smiling faces, sparkly jammer panty booths, drunken internet rants, heartwrenching losses and ecstatic victories. But what single defining moment really captured the essence of this event in the most profound way?

Meh, I don't know either so instead here are pictures of a variety of skaters and fans from leagues around the world who came to watch the WFTDA Championship and who didn't think I was too creepy to let take their picture. Enjoy!

  4. Haha, so happy to see my little shark, which was lovingly created in MS Paint and then ironed on to shirts, made an appearance. We at Tri City decided to create a new shirt to wear for each day instead of our regular logo. Much fun and Sofanda Beatin' and Gray Matter wear it well.

  5. The SufferJets are a team under the Ithaca League of Women Rollers.

    Slow derby only sucks for the strategically impaired.
