Places to Eat Near RollerCon Down Under
Since yesterday, Erica and I have been eating our way around the Sunshine Coast. Here’s the low down on where to eat near RollerCon Down Under. First up, India Today. Going to this place is an experience. It begins with something akin to a rebirthing ceremony as you enter through the inviting vaginal entranceway. The […]

I have selfish reasons for wanting to be a mentor. For one, I like to feed off of others’ enthusiasm. If you know me, you may have noticed that I’m often very passionate about things. Maintaining that passion around people who are apathetic can be quite draining so it’s nice to be able to feed […]

Every bout and photo shoot, the gorgeous Carmella Carnage gets upset with me for making myself ugly. So this time, I decided not to smear black eye shadow down my face. In my makeup drawer I had some high quality eye shadows my talented cousin Joanna had made and sent for my birthday. I also […]

On Monday night I attended ref training (and sustained two of the world’s most pathetic derby injuries). One day, I’d like to be a ref so I was keen to give it a go. We did a jam ref drill, just to practice calling lead (or otherwise), communicating with your co-jam ref and calling any […]

Two of the world’s lamest roller derby injuries
October 23, 2012
by Eve Yllanside
I sustained two of the lamest roller derby injuries last night. The first was a Velcro graze on my upper arm. It wasn’t a cool, draw-blood type of graze – just an ouch-that-hit-a-lot-of-nerves-but-looks-pathetic graze. It wasn’t even red enough to show up in a photo. Last night was referee training. The second injury occurred while […]
