Recently I was contacted by Buster Skull, or Chemo Sabe (Eva Paxton) from Salisbury Rollergirls for some training info. I went through my normal steps of due diligence to verify that this person is connected enough in their league to make training decisions. As I was Facebook stalking her, I realized that I had seen her before…

I was quickly reminded of the feeling that I had experienced the first time that I had seen this picture. Strong, confident, motivated bad-ass! Yet, the bald head told a story too. Struggle, adversity and challenge.

People like Eva are a big part of what I love about the roller derby community. Strength in the face of adversity. I fucking love it!

Came back from Sk8 Heaven 2011 and still didn’t make it all the way home. Flew into Dallas and have been at my brothers house in Fort Worth all week.
I will be heading for Southern Belle Ringer on November 5th where the Derby Supply booth will be set up. Staying over until the 6th to teach some Default Strategy and scrimmage a bit.
Then, I head for Denver and the WFTDA 2011 Championship, also known as Continental Divide and Conquer, where I will set up a modified Derby Supply booth and sell some stuff.
Next, I move over to Colombia Missouri for Beat Me Halfway where I will be vending, teaching and scrimmaging all weekend.

Maybe I will get to see my kids for Thanksgiving.
