Audrey....Roller Derby

I attended a roller derby match on Saturday evening, where I met many kind people including sweet Audrey, a skater who posed for this photo. Indeed, it was a night for ups, downs, and comic misunderstandings. I, for one, believed I was going to something more along the lines of the Kentucky Derby and while the attire worn for this derby was equally fabulous, I did stand out in my seersucker suit and bow tie. I could not have felt more welcome, however, since these derby fans were wonderfully friendly. Indeed, without their help, I might never have understood the rules.

Audrey is a member of the Columbia QuadSquad, a team that seems to be quite strong, and she goes by the name Beautiful Death. I regret that I did not note the other competitors' names in my jotter, for some were very punny.
