Rollerderby
Last night I decided to go to a Rollerderby event here in Fresno. I've never been to one, and I've only once seen it on TV. I'm always looking for new and exciting things to take part in, so I decided to check out this bout. The Fresno team is called the Smog City Roller Grrls and it appears they play their bouts at the Fresno Convention Center. The team ended up losing last night to the Sonoma County (wine country) team they were playing, but it was fairly entertaining and quite a bit of fun.
The game attracts a fairly interesting crowd, and security for the event was provided by a biker gang (which was very strange for me). There were a lot of fans in attendance though, I would say easily over 1000 people were there, and there ended up being only standing room by the time the bout started. I had great front row (on the floor) seats right beside the track, and we almost got run over a few times by derby girls who lost their footing.
All in all it was a fun event, and I will definitely considering going again sometime.
This is a picture from the event last night that I took with my phone.
