Sometimes....

You forget to write about things that you spent the whole week talking about.... being exhausted, excited and thrilled about.


This past weekend, that occupied all of the chatter at my work, for so many of my coworkers had come out to participate, was the first Jet City Roller Girls expo (mini) bout. The four teams on the league played each other for a series of 15 minute "bouts"(games). It was one of those evenings that went off without a problem (besides not winning) and seemed to have a dash of luck everywhere. At 3 p.m. when we arrived, there was a tent set up for the skaters, our very own "greenroom" complete with very healthy and tasty snacks. There was a lot of hurry-up-and-wait as the Everett Skate Deck had their public skate going on. At 4:30 p.m. there were still 100 little kids skating around. We had to transform the rink into a entertaining venue that could seat 700 people (!) for we had sold out. And we did!


It went by so fast - as I expected that it would. CarnEvil lost both bouts but only by a jam or two (meaning if we had had 4 more minutes we could have come back.) Suffice it to say, it was great fun and below are links to photos taken from the bout.


Because I've been talking about it all week.
