Slugs & Kisses, Atlanta Roller Derby

Saturday night, we left our Buckhead comfort zone and headed out do something out-of-the-ordinary for us: an Atlanta Roller Girls Bout. Libby, my fearless and tough as nails co-teacher (and former roller girl), invited us to see a game (bout) at the Yaarab Shriners Center on Ponce.

Blurry pictures - they were moving really fast!

We donned our best hipster attire, BYOB-ed and watched in awe as the DSDG (Atlanta All-Stars) took on the Dairyland Dolls from Wisconsin. The girls skated, pushed, pulled, and jammed their hearts out and eventually won the game! It was such a neat way to spend a Saturday night, and if you're ever looking for a different kind of Saturday fun, buy your tickets and check it out. The next bout is on June 16th. We had a blast learning the rules, rooting for the jammers, and laughing over their clever names. Here is a brief clip of what you might get to experience if you go (and you should)!!
