Thank you for that. It's wonderful to see our neighbors to the nort' making this an international thing. Hope you caught the bug and will be back [again and again]. -Umpire Strikes Back :: 1138 Referee :: Minnesota RollerGirls Excellent job capturing the mood and vibe of a bout without pandering to the “chick-fight” crap that often ends up in the mainstream media.

I am currently taking a wee break from derby and I am in Malta taking care of some family business... ya gotta do, what ya gotta do, but I'll be back rollin' with the Smoke City Betties in 2010. I am trying to spread the Derby Fever here on my island, I want to infect them all and create a plague of crazy ass rollerskaters in the Meditteranean. Anyways... just needed to send off my compliments and appreciated respect. 'MsTree Malteazer' 37g ToRD ROCKS!!!

So far one of the best renditions of the national anthem we've had yet, and thank you for joining us. Glad you had fun at our bout.

The purpose of Accordion Awareness Month is to let the world know that the accordion’s making a comeback and invite people to understand the true musical (and in my case, life-changing) potential of my favourite instrument. In honour of this very special month, I’ll be posting stories about accordion as well as other accordion-related news, as well as doing some performances all over town (the Roller Derby was just the beginning).
