Thursday, September 07, 2006 Putty Hill Skateland, Home of the Charm City Roller Girls
Down is up, left is right, and trees are growing upside down. Putty Hill Skateland and Charm City Roller Girls have come to an agreement that Putty Hill Skateland will remain not just a skating rink, but our official home rink, for another year. We're getting our logo and the boundaries of the track painted on the floor, and a big sign out front. Within the next few months, we'll be having special bouts against out of town leagues. If that wasn't exciting enough, we'll have a chance to host other events at Skateland. Can you say SKATEOFF? LOCK-IN?
Did we just save Skateland? I don't know, but we gave it a reprieve. My favorite adult weirdos from open skate, not to mention all the little kids who like to cut in front of me with no warning, and the teens on awkward dates their parents drove them to, and everybody! We've all still got a place to go. Open skate nights start up again September 14.
I never thought I'd be this attached to a big ugly barn of a building, but I am, I am!
Astute readers may know that the above paragraph has been on other internets than this, but I wrote it, and I wrote it today, so I think it still counts for content challenge.
Remember, the Charm City Roller Girls' Season Championship is not this Sunday, but next Sunday, September 17, at a new time. Doors at 3:00, bout at 4:00. My team, The Night Terrors are playing the (so far) undefeated Speed Regime for the first place spot. I have it on good authority that the Speed Regime is so worried about playing us that they're waterboarding each other out of sheer nervous exuberance. (Credit here goes to CCRG announcer Dirty Marty for the original version of this joke.)
The Night Terrors aren't worried. The Night Terrors are just menacing. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 9/07/2006 10:42:00 AM
