Team Building. Usually, it means your boss shipping you off to some hippie retreat led by a vaguely Swedish dude who makes you do trust falls with 'Mr. Smelly Lunch' from three cubicles over. That kind of touchy-feely-talk-about-your-chi crap might work for your average pencil pushing middle management, but what are you going do when your job is to skate fast, get low, and hit hard?
In the time-honored tradition of hoodlums, sailors and soldiers alike, the Riot Girls took their newly drafted rookies and drilled some team spirit into 'em. Literally.
Thanks to everyone at Funhouse Tattoo for helping us fill in that "distinguishing marks" line on the rap sheet. For more photos of the girls and their brand spankin' new tattoos, cruise over to the Flickr Gallery. (Gimme a day or two to remember the password...) (Got it! Photos are up for your perusing pleasure.)
So, lemme get this straight. The righteous are gonna spend this long weekend floating up into the Heavens..? HA! Thank goodness that ain't gonna affect our numbers any!
(Besides, we booked a private box for the Apocalypse. They do not want to lose our deposit.)
Since we know all you Riot Girls fans'll be sticking around with us on this here earthly plane, have we got the party for you! The Whidbey Island Roller Girls have invited us down south to Battle for The Border!
Doors open at 5:30 at Skagit Skate in Burlington, Washington (where I'm told there is no Coat Factory) and expect that first whistle at 6. Click here for details and ticket info, and we'll see you all stateside!
Game day's coming up quick, and your Riot Girls have been doing nothing but practice for a solid month to get ready to set the tide out on the Derby Dames! Seriously, Coach made us practice at 9. 9 AM. It's like a Rocky pre-fight montage around the compound these days...
In the next couple weeks we'll be posting photos and stories to help you get to know the new Terminal City RollerGirls Riot Girls! If you've got pics you'd like to share, or questions you'd like to ask, email us at RiotGirlsTCRG@gmail.com
