Courtesy of Austin's favorite roller derby league, the Texas Rollergirls, we have six free tickets to give away to their special SXSW bout, Saturday the 18th at the Austin Music Hall.
This Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:00 PM, you can watch visiting squads Assassination City Derby and Dallas Derby Devils knock heads in the first bout. In the second bout, the hometown
heroines, the Hustlers and the Hell Marys will then put the hurt on each other. The winners of each bout will then challenge each other for the TX by TX Crown. (My bet: If her knee is up to it, Dynah-Mite and the Hustlers will take the crown.)
Tickets are still available right here, or you can enter our contest.
We will give away two tickets to the first three people who can answer the following Texas Rollergirl trivia question:
Come back soon to hear our interview Hydra where she'll tell us about being a hydrologist by day, Texas Rollergirl by night and a national champion.
You can also catch the Hydra and all the Texas Rollergirls at a special SXSW bout, Saturday the 18th at the Austin Music Hall. The Assassination City Derby and Dallas Derby Devils will battle it out first, then your hometown Hustlers and Hell Marys will go helmet-to-helmet. The winners of each bout will then challenge each other for the TX by TX Crown.
These are afternoon bouts from 1:30 - 4:00 p.m. and you can still get tickets here.
Also note that it's just a coincidence that we've interviewed two Hotrod Honeys in a row. (Listen to our previous interview with Melicious by clicking here.) We promise for next month that Miss April will be from one of the other three teams in the league.
They did win it, in fact. And they won all seven bouts, including a beat down of the Atlanta Rollergirls with a score of 70-1.
Congratulations, ladies!
Starting soon, The Armadillo Podcast is pleased to announce that we'll be interviewing a new Texas Rollergirl every month. Please come back and meet Miss March.
Until then, you can always listen to our interview with Melicious, No. 11 of the Hotrod Honey's here in Episode 14.
Our hearts to go out the friends and family of the Atlanta team and we hope that if the suffering is long, at least the recuperating will be fast.
You can see the ladies in this really funny video below. Word of
warning, though. Don't do like I did and drink coffee while watching
this thing. You'll end up snorting liquid out your nose.
Said the ever-quotable Melicious, "This tournament is the next step in the growth of our sport. We’ve all been waiting for the chance to go helmet-to-helmet with skaters from other leagues. And for the first time, flat-track derby fans can see the spectacle and athleticism of hundreds of rollergirls under one roof! All I can say is, ‘Put on your protective gear now.’”
The national champions will be crowned after the final bout on Feb. 26. Until then, you can always listen to our interview with Melicious, here in Episode 14.
Weekly podcast interviews of Austinites famous and infamous, known and unknown, with the sole intent to convince my good friend Galia, an Israeli woman living way out in California, to move and live with us here in Austin, Texas, the land of the weird and the home of the armadillo.
