“What, are you telling me that this weekend is the last home Roller Derby bout until the fall?”

That’s exactly what I’m telling you! The calendar has grabbed you by the arm and whipped you straight into the future.

This Saturday at Redwood Acres, you’re going to be treated to a double-header — our hometown heroines against a couple of no-doubt-worthy-but-alas-not-from-Humboldt squads out of Medford and Chico. Find all the details here, then get your butt down to Franceschi Hall to catch the action.

And while we have you here: As you know, the local teams are always adding fresh meat into the mix, and one of the rites of passage for the rooks is to pick a derby name — a nom de skate, if you will — that will strike fear into the heart of the opposition.
