About me: I made a goal for myself early during my junior year of undergrad (fall 1994 or so) that I would get a sustaining job in theatre that would sustain me, give me benefits, the whole deal. Over a dozen years later, after two failed attempts to start a career and a less-then-memorable grad school stint, along with moves into and out of four states and the odd health crisis thrown into the mix, I have finally achieved that goal.
The big question now is, What next?
Last month's semifinal game between Scare Force One and the Cherry Blossom Bombshells came down to a nail-biting double overtime, and the Bombshells are trying to carry that momentum to vanquish the fierce DC DemonCats, who haven't lost a game since October. This exciting season championship matchup will be the last DC Rollergirls home game until the fall, so don't miss out!
In addition, fans can watch an expo matchup between Scare Force One and the River City Rollergirls of Richmond, VA, and check out Jason Leffler's #38 NASCAR showcar. Plus, in honor of Mother's Day, moms will get a gift at the door!
It's tailgating season, so come early to Stadium/Armory Lot 3 and get a head start on the fun! The lot opens at 3 p.m.
Tickets are available in advance through Ticketmaster (service charge applies), at the RFK Stadium box office and at the door on bout day.

Facebook is strange. There's too much to do...play with etc. You'll get the hang of it...go raid my profile and steal all of my applications...particularly Xme, so I can send you beer...oh, and pat the cat.
