As far as crazy ideas for a Friday night go, this was up with them. Heidi found out about the Denver Roller Derby from one of her friends, and that was that - my first visit to the Denver Coliseum was booked.

The only person up for it was Ms Klassen - a few others were rumored to be considering it but were no shows in the end - their loss ;-)

As for new experiences, the PBR 24 oz cans were special (and reminded me some how of Kestrel Super Strength), and the really tight shorts of one of the announcers were something I probably could have done without, but all in all, we had a blast. I never really understood too many of the rules, but girls throwing themselves around the ring at each other was enough to keep me entertained for the night.

We also managed to get accosted by the Westword team, so we may have some incriminating photos coming out in the local press. Our photos can be seen on Heidi's Flickr site, so just click on the pic to the left to get there.
