.......TEXAS ROLLER GIRLS.......




I was very anxious to get back to my little hamlet of West, by Goddess, Texas..but then Shady Lane emailed me the activities she had planned for Sunday night....watching the Season championship between the Hell Marys and the Hotrod Honeys...Roller Derby y'all..!.Hell yes.

The opening band will be Sasquatch and the Sick-A-Billys..half time band will be a local group called Those Peabodys..also have a DJ who will be spinning platters and his name is Net WT. so how can I go home and miss that?..If you want to check it out you can go to txrollergirls.com

Eat your heart out Nit Wit..I know this is right up your alley..you and Leo...

Plus Monday night is Shady's African Drum Dance classes and I have to check that out..she has been doing it for about 5 years and is pretty damn good and want to meet all these people that I have been hearing about for so long..Plus I want to see if Shady's friend Vincent who let me use the laptop can help me find one for my own..as I really do love this ole lap top..then figure I can spend a couple of hundred bucks and get my computers working and keep one for me, one for each one of the granddaughters..

Speaking of granddaughters..Jenny called ..she has been given the run around from the people that were supposed to make her graduation announcement cards..first they were 3 weeks late..then they show up and they have wrong address on them..she calls ...calm and cool...they promise to overnight the correct ones to her..she gets them the next morning and they have left off her first name...she went Jackiesue on them...the guy was so sorry, said he would give her a discount and she said "I don't want something for nothing...I don't want a discount..I want to pay for what you promised to do..your job..You do your job, send me my cards and stuff your discount..."..or words to that effect..hahah...I rubbed it in on her about my Baby Phats shoes...she was cracking up..her grannie has Baby Phats...got her and Jamie's shoe size and going to see if they have their size and get them a pair...She was very excited about me coming home..She bought a washer/dryer and a black leather couch and love seat from her cousin who is moving for $500 and on the route in delivery the couches fell from the truck..so she is convinced that her grannie will be able to 'sew them right up'....ah, yes, Grannie'Wonder Woman'...!

I don't know when I will have time to post again till after I get back home sweet home...so I may not be back on till Tuesday night or Wed. am...will post if I can...after the Roller Derby Championship...Have a great weekend...

Haven't ever seen a roller derby, but I do enjoy the demolition derby!

Isn't a roller derby a demolition derby, only with people, not cars?

I haven't seen women in roller derby since I saw Raquel Welch in Kansas City Bombers that came out in 72.
I meant to tell you that if you keep calling you sneakers Choos the Little Yippy Dog might think you are telling it to chew on them. Then we would get to figure out how far you could drop kick a little yippy dog. Maybe a reason to call the folks at Guinness to see if it's a record.

Super Granny! Do we get to see a picture of you wearing tights?

Damn, I wish I was there with you and Shady, sounds like a blast to me. Have a good time and give up a full report when you get back.

Rockabilly rollergirls can probably kick ass in ways I have never imagined.

I've always wanted to know how to dance like an African drum...

Big Pissy said...

Jackiesue....I cannot WAIT until you tell us the stories of what you got up to and show us the pictures.

You ROCK!

Nit Wit said...

Where is my Jackiesue? Did she join up with the roller derby so she could kick more ass?
Poor Roller Derby Girls.
RIP.

Welcome home! LA was not so good at housekeeping, eh?
Roller Derby is cool- we have a team here. I'm hitting on one of our local RD girls right now...*ouch* ... that girl can hit back!
Did I mention the tremendous amount of respect I have for the athletic ability involved in Roller D-
* punched, hard*...
