breaking up with your first season 101
A new season of MTLRD has begun, and I can smell the sweetness of victory ahead! But seriously folks, we've started up again, and I've noticed a new intensity and excitement from our players, practices, and league as a whole.
Life feels good once you get out of that first season. The awkward stage! Y'know, kinda like puberty. More skates and beer, but just as much crying and stress about nothing. Finding your derby name is like finding yourself. I hope I never find the papers with my potential alter ego's scribbled down. How embarrassing! I remember endlessly trying to find ways how to incorporate gore and rock and roll into one name. Clearly, that got me nowhere. In fact, I think the majority of names I came up with were names that I had already read on the roster, but then forgot, and thought I was witty. Or even your first "derby outfit" to that first event or fundraiser you have. Ugh.
But now we're coming to the the dawning of a new era. An era where we now know to hire real security guards (preferably of the lesser douchebag quality), we will be able to have our season booked more than 1 month before our first bout, and have enough change in the float to get us past 15 mins of ticket sales at the door. It's just common sense people! However that common sense is always MIA when you have no idea what to do, where to start, and try to plan a whole first season at the last minute. Time for a fresh start!
Dear MTLRD Season #1,
We've had some good times since April 2006, but now I think it's time for me to move on. I have found a new season that is more experienced, will take me to far away places like America, and will be a heck of a lot more organized then you ever were. I'll never forget you, but it's time to start something new.
Love always,
Your President, Georgia W Tush

Our league is also looking to travel and bout other leagues this season, because of our limited rink space. Damn you hockey season that seems to last almost all year long in these parts.
I have my eyes on Washington DC! I need to play there, and at least before the next election or any type of impeachment.
GO TO THIS! I'm not exactly sure where this place is yet, but if googlemaps doesn't fail me, everything will be a-ok. Viva Kingston/Hyde Park, New York! You girls will be blinded by our travel team's neon green uniforms.

Hyde Park, NY is the home of the CIA. Not that CIA, the Culinary Institute of America. They have amazing gourmet food at reasonable prices. If you have the time, I highly recommend it!
yeah!
I'm with you, Georgia.. I can't wait to play with you again in Season 2 of MTLRD. I'm glad I am with you and not against you!
Now is the year that the rest of our players can grow into their names and personas like you have, and can really put on s show-stopping display of athleticism, derby luv and toughness...
Rollregirls rock! 'Dita 4 Life!
