Yes, Girls Night Out finally arrived! We felt it was time to brave the roller derby without da mens. We thought it would be most fitting if we went out to eat at "Jose's" since we were headed to Springdale, which is as south of the border as you can get around here. The food was pretty good....but be forwarned.....if you order beans on the side - be aware that they bring enough for a small mexican army.
Perhaps the most "virgin" when it comes to white trash exposure, would be Dana. Her innocence to this uncharted land was the most amusing for all of us. We were rather disappointed she didn't go into labor at the Derby. What a blog that would have been. Just look at her sweet face!
She "reviewed" the program and was quick to find her favorite derby girl. See below.
That's right. It says "White Trashlee #72". The night was full of wipe outs, injuries (which are pretty cool because everyone kneels down until they are hauled off....very reverent). There was a skate to the face, a 6 foot African American woman (who had the skate name of 'Blackzilla') face planted, a derby girl who skated her heart out until she was vomiting in the penalty box, and 65 year old referee who was laid out by a chain reaction wipe out, a plethora of smells, a bearded and "boobied" man in women's clothing, AND batman. How could I forget batman?
LOOK AT HIM GO! THE GRACE! THE BEAUTY! THE BLOODY FOREARM!
So dark! So cryptic! So evasive! But luckily we cornered him by the snack bar for a photo op. WOW.
She loves those masked men.
The highlight of my evening was making the discovery that the bathroom sinks are OUTSIDE of the restrooms. This enables onlookers to monitor who washes their hands. I must say that I was deeply disturbed of the small sampling I took. Ew. Add Purell to the camera bag next trip.
Overall, the night rocked. It was stinky, it was "schweaty", it was disturbing....but it rocked.
You described the night perfectly!!! Can't wait for the next one!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great laugh I just had after reading your last 4 or 5 posts. It makes me miss the fun times we used to have gallivanting around Provo and Cincy. (Sad about Karah's fall though - glad she's ok). You are hysterical, and after reading Dana's blog regarding the Roller Derby evening I have officially decided that I want in.
You know I'm moving to Dallas in a month and a half, so when I come to visit Arky, which is a short jaunt of 300 ish miles, you MUST take me. Promise?
