This pretty well sums up our date last night--a far cry from the ol' dinner and a movie. Neither of us knew anything about roller derby before yesterday, but we're now fully educated. We showed up to the bout 'bout 15 minutes after it started (ha! bad joke...) and quickly realized why they open the doors an hour before it starts. The place was packed--standing room only! We could hardly see a thing and the announcer might as well have been speaking Mongolian since it was totally unrecognizable. Steve and I spent about an hour scouting for a better view/seats. I ended up on an exercise bike for a few minutes, and he claimed a random stool for a while. We finally gave up on Houston Roller Derby and retreated to an air conditioned venue to watch Whip It. For anyone interested in the educational, cultural experience that is Houston Roller Derby, I would recommend getting there early!

we tried to go to this Saturday too! only we couldn't even get tickets. who knew the roller derby was such a big deal?!
I just watched that movie the other day - it was made near my city and I figured I better see what it was all about. I bet the Fire Marshall loves those places!
