B.A.D. Ass Bout

April Fool's Day, 2006 shared it's glory with the 2nd bout of the 2006 B.A.D. Season. Oakland lost to San Francisco by one point in the final jam of the bout. Nail-biter, I tell you.

I was announcing, for the first time in my life. It was a blast. Though, someone came up during the first break and gave me a load of shit for screeching in her ear. She happened to be sitting 4 feet from the giant speaker. I wasn't quite sure what this 50 year old woman expected me to do exactly. But none the less. I had a good time.

The entire purpose of this post is to commend the teams, the league, the volunteers, and the fucking bout coordinator and staff. Oh! And the rinkydinks—who are just amazing. The whole crew really came together on this one. From what I heard, since we didn’t spend money on bands, we spent money on things like: tarps (making it possible to have drinks on the rink (thank god)), rope lights (making our track look sooo much better), and last but not least—a better sound system.

It was hands down the best event we've had. And of course, we sold out. And we sold out without bands, so in case there were any questions about what people came to see. There you have it. They came to see roller derby--the way we play it. Rock on B.A.D. Girls. I can't wait to get back in the saddle.
