The support you get from your team on and off the track is something that is sacred to every derby girl. We do amazing things with our team that we could probably do on our own but the journey wouldn't be half as fun.<br />
<br />
We belong to an Etsy team as well. The support and information that we share in <a href="http://etsyteamdiscovery.blogspot.com/">Team Discovery</a> makes life a little more fun and enjoyable while trying to sell in an online market.<br />
<br />
I have asked one of my teamies for a little interview.<br />
Jennifer from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreativeCabin131">Creative Cabin</a> happily stepped up to the job. <br />
<br />
HAB: Tell us a little bit about yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
JEN: I am work at home mother of 2 boys, ages 6 and 8, as well as a devoted wife. I grew up in the Midwest and moved to NC in 2007. I have always longed to be in the mountain woods and am finally here. This to me is home.<br />

HAB: What do you love about what you do?<br />
<br />
<br />
JEN: Photographing nature is more of a hobby than a profession for me. I say this because I just love doing it and never think about if this shot will sell. I just love doing it. Being able to sell my photography is just a bonus that helps support the habit.<br />
However, the photography in my shop is not mine alone. My husband shares the same love of nature photography as I do and the shop is a collection of what have both taken.<br />
<br />
<br />
HAB: How did you first got involved in photography?<br />
<br />
JEN: I have always enjoyed taking pictures but hated film cameras because I did not get the instant gratification of seeing what I just shot. But when I got my first little digital camera that held something like 10 pictures at 480x620 (lets just say really small), I was hooked.<br />
I could see my shot and if I did not like the angle, I could take another one right then w/o losing the opportunity. I think that was back in 2000 or 2001.<br />
<br />
As far as my husband is concerned, he says he can not remember what sparked his interests as a kid. Photography is just something he has always loved to do.<br />

<br /><br />
HAB: Please tell us quick history on how you got started on Etsy<br />
<br />
<br />
JEN: I have known about Etsy for a few years. My mother actually found it and said I should make stuff to sell on there. At that time, I was not at a point in my life where that was an option. <br />
But I held onto the thought of Etsy as a place to do something. <br />
It was only last summer that I opened my web design shop, Bisi Designs, on Etsy. <br />
Then I thought I would do crafting since Mom was still on my tail about selling crafts.<br />
At first I started putting a few things in my design shop but it looked tacky to me so I created CreativeCabin131 in October and put some craft stuff there. That was a flop.<br />
<br />
I am one of the leaders of<a href="http://etsyteamdiscovery.blogspot.com/"> Team Discovery</a>. We have a few photographers on the team and after I saw them selling photography, I thought about it and said something to the hubby. <br />
He said "I have been telling you we should sell our photography, so get to it!" And there it was, shortly before Thanksgiving, I ditched the crafting and listed some of our photographs.<br />
<br />
HAB: What do you find most challenging about photographing nature?<br />
<br />
JEN: Not having my camera with me when I see those perfect shots. <br />
I always walk out of the house to head to town w/o the camera. I almost cried one day, it had been raining and on my way home, there is a ziggy-zaggy spot in the road. It was wet, the leaves were peaking in color and littered the road. There was a heavy fog and the road just faded away in front of me.<br />

<br />
JEN: Nature is something we both truly love and admire. We have this deep drive to capture it.<br />
<br />
We love to eat wild mushrooms so when we go out to find them, we take the camera. <br />
Not everything we find is edible, nor can we identify, but if it looks interesting, we take its picture, same with wild flowers. <br />
Our nature landscapes are really just one of those "Oh Wow!" moments that we feel we just have to capture.<br />

<br />
JEN: I would love to do underwater photography of the Great Barrier Reef but I would probably stop in Hawaii for some surfing first. Then I think I would have to pop down to Antarctica to visit the penguins. They are just some cool guys!<br />

To get people out of the penalty box, to waste some time when winning by a smaller margin or to slow down the pack. I also get annoyed when it becomes a strategy for a whole game. When you see two really great teams that can skate fast and slow and they are choosing slow for the whole game. <br />
What also tends to be annoying is when one team is doing it and the other team allows it to happen.<br />
I like to, if I'm at a loss in a game, to pretty much do the opposite of what the other team is doing. So if they start jostling and not moving forward, whether i know why they are doing it i want the jammers out and skating if only for the simple fact that the other team doesnt want thing this to happen.<br />
<br />
There are many ways to stop the slow derby on the line. <br />
If there is no pack after the first whistle the jammers will be released. So you can race forward as a team 10 ft. the jammers will be whistled off and you have a bit of time to fall back and get back into the pack so that you are able to hit the jammer again. <br />
<br />
You can really play with this one a bit at practice and force your refs to make calls. <br />
For example, if you continue skating forward and the other pack doesn't who are they going to call?<br />
If it's the other team and you have a faster jammer you could hold the no pack for a little longer until your jammer gets past them, forcing some destruction penalties and hitting out of play penalties, and then falling back in time to make a pack to hit the opposing jammer. (obviously this works really well in my head! HA).<br />
<br />
Another way to force the jammer whistle is to drop to a knee, no pack, the jammers are released. You stand back up and continue on as a normal jam. Once the jammers are out, the pack tends to move forward, as long as the jammers move forward.<br />
<br />
As for games and fan enjoyment, I think that if you are playing a home game in front of your home crowd and you want your fans to have a good time, you want to use these strategies only in dire situations, for example jammers being in the penalty box, or two blockers in the penalty box. In inter league or home games, this is your bread and butter for your league, if you used the slow derby as much as they do in tournament play then you may find that you don't have many fans coming out to watch. Not good.<br />
<br />
However, in Wftda ranked game play, these plays, to me, seem totally acceptable due to the huge prize at the end called WFTDA nationals where there is prize money on the line and sponsorships etc. Since it is allowable in the rules I would totally do any strategy that was working for me to get me to that prize. Cause seriously, no one is going to remember the boos when you have that big ol trophy in your hands and new skates your feet. <br />
The video posted below is a great mini documentary that was filmed and edited by Lisa "Left 4 Deadwards" Edwards- skater for Old Capitol City Roller Girls. It showcases the opinions of fans, skaters and refs on the impact of Stroller derby.<br />

I could go on and on about my opinion on slow derby and the good vs bad but i wont! </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite the claims that fast derby is better and more skilled I do know that good derby skaters need to know how to do both. I also know that it is a lot easier hitting people going fast and everything, to me, is easier faster but slow derby is definitely not easier derby as a blocker or a jammer.</div>

<br />
The good people over at <a href="http://www.frozencodebase.com/news.php">Frozen Coldbase</a> made us, what looks like is going to be an exciting roller derby video game for the nintedo wii.<br />
Just from the little clip alone it's a fast paced game full of whips and hits, a kick ass soundtrack and the voice of roller derby's beloved Dumptruck<br />
<br />
You get to pick from real current<a href="http://wftda.com/"> Wftda</a> roller derby players and you can play regular tracks or if you would rather, a more racetrack type track with ramps, oil spills etc.<br />
<br />
Plus you dont have to go to the store and track this game down. It is brought to your home through the internet with nintendos WiiWare option. <br />
<br />
I can not wait for this to come out! <br />

With so many bouts and games and derby stuff going on, Sufferjet and myself, pulled an all nighter right before our game against the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hamilton-ON/Hamilton-Harlots/12563590836">Hamilton Harlots</a> and made some cool scarves for our refs and visiting refs. We are now offering them on Hot Across Buns. We can take your league acronym and print it on a super long jersey scarf. Also for a little extra fun we throw on a cute little mustache. </div>

I was just stuck in a you tube vortex. You know, when you type something in and just start clicking on the suggested videos on the side panel. It usually leads me into bizarre half human half fish videos or men with tails, that amaze and disgust me. This time it brought me to an amazing whip done by Anya Heels to her team mate Wile E of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rat-City-Roller-Girls/34196174440?ref=mf">Rat City Roller Girls</a> Check out the awesomeness at about 8 seconds in!!! I want Anya Heels to whip me anytime<br />

So very bad of me. I do apologize, we are coming into our last few games of the season all at once so I have been super busy! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So to kick start my butt back in the blog I have interviewed Luludemon of the Terminal City Roller Girls and the designer of PIVOTSTAR clothing. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Pivotstar is clothing designed for real roller derby women. Its alternative, athletic and helps you do what you do best - kick ass!</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I was lucky enough to pick up one of her amazing purple zip up hoodies at the Beast of the East in Montreal. It fits amazingly and I love it! Unfortunately so does my daughter Syd. The minute I had it in the house I haven't had it on since, she only takes it off when I wrestle it off of her to wash it, then she immediately puts it back on before I have a chance to claim it back.</span><br />

They have this amazing jammer called On da Sligh. We were jamming against each other and came out of the pack at exactly the same time, but she got lead jammer. I was skating right behind her and started bouncing around behind her trying to distract her and get her to focus on me rather than scoring points. It worked! She got mad, and threw on the breaks, trying to hit me. But I saw it coming and managed to jump around her and skate like crazy for the pack. She called it off, but she didn't score any points and it made me feel like a super hero! hahaa</span></span><br />

Remember you are the only one that can score points out there, so conserve your energy til you really need it, work with your blockers to progress in stages through the pack and avoid those hits. Also focus on the basic mechanics of skating as much as the strategy, it's amazing the difference learning to skate efficiently makes.</span></span></span><br />

Part one explained the benefits of Word of Mouth and how important it is to go outside your circles and talk to everyone you meet about your great product you want to sell aka Roller Derby. Seriously, it is the best thing around so it shouldn't be a hard sell. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"></span></span><br />

We started adding everyone we talk to on an email list. We also put out fan sign up lists at the merch booth and at the food/bar area at our bouts and fundraisers and such. We send out an event reminder to the list a month before the event and then re email it a week before. We only use this list to promote our fundraisers, which we only have one a year, and our bouts. We also email this group as soon as we have our season schedule. You don't want to over use this option, people will get angry if you spam them. Any other updates we do with our facebook pages, twitter and on our website.<br />This makes it easy for your fans to pass on the information in their email lists.<div class="break" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Todays featured skater is none other then Forest City Derby Girls own Mirambo. If you were lucky enough to get a FCDG calendar she is also Miss August.<br />
<br />
Mirambo is a big part of our league. She keeps the team together and does crazy things to keep the game light and to make sure everyone is having a good time. She is a hard hitter and a team player for sure. I sent her a bunch of questions and then asked her to pick a few.. she did them all! Lots of Mirambo to go around.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b><br /></b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Like a lot of girls, I was reintroduced to derby when A&E aired Rollergirls The Series. I was sitting with a close friend and made an off hand remark that if they ever had derby in my home town I wouldn't hesitate to join. Well she saw a flyer for a practice a couple months later and basically told me to put my money where my mouth. Going on 5 years later I think I've proved I belong here.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">There really has been so many, I am blessed to have some of the best teammates ever. But I'd have to say one of our more recent games. We were playing The Derby Debutantes from GTARD. It was G20 weekend and we were under the assumption that traffic heading into the city was going to be crazy so we all left way early. Got to the venue 5 hours before the hosting team was even scheduled to arrive at the arena. This left us with a lot of free time. I found a vending machine that had mustaches inside. Got enough for everyone on the team and we all picked one out. We laughed and joked around for hours, by game time we were just so relaxed from all the laughs and funny pictures all day long we played one of the best games ever as a team. I'd do anything for those girls xoxox</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b> </b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It was the last jam of our game against the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#%21/group.php?gid=42655937200&ref=ts">Nickle City Knockouts</a>. I knocked their jammer B.J. HARMstrong out of play, and forced her to cut in front of me back on the track. She was originally awarded the point for passing, giving them a one point lead for the win. Thank the derby god's I made eye contact with a ref during the infraction and the score was adjusted but only after the Knockouts had taken a winning lap. After some very heated discussion with the captains and the refs the score showed a tie game with the clock run out. Forcing an overtime jam. In the end we ended up winning the game. It was incredible.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well recently I've tried on a few different roles but still within the realm on derby. Reporting at games with <a href="http://www.spotlightonreview.com/">Derby Spotlight.</a> Roger Foley asked me to join his team and I just couldn't resist. And I also tried my hand at refereeing recently, that was very different for me. Making the calls instead of instigating them, was a lot tougher than I thought it was going to.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #555555; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px;">My roller derby team does not like to spend money on anything. We want to keep money to put on more bouts. So I'm going to post some ways to get your fans at your event for as cheap as possible. The key to getting people to the bouts is that every derby girl in the league should be working their butts off to get the word out. Even if you have a person in charge of promotions, she should only be responsible for contacting media to set up interviews etc. Everyone in the league should be working in their own circles and as a group to get the information out to all ages and walks of life.<br /></span></h2>

The first place to start is with your members, supporters and current fan base. Use your meetings, regular communications and newsletters to let them know about your event and encourage them to tell their friends and friends of friends. Word of mouth is still one of the most powerful selling tools because it also comes with a reliable, credible endorsement.<br /><br />Past that you can talk to people on the street, people in line at the grocery store. Make sure you have hand bills or business cards with your website listed on you at all time. Get your friends and family excited about the event as well and they will tell their friends.</div>
<div class="write_module" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tell people at your work, at the daycare, at the doctors appointments, your kids school, your nephews school, get your family and friends to do the same. Pretty much where ever you go you should find someone you can talk a little derby to.</div>
<div class="write_module" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Make a goal for yourself and get all the girls in the league to do the same. Whether you have a bout or not you should tell 5 people a week, or even a day if you can, about what your league is doing, or just getting your website out there for people to get some information and see what your league is all about.</div>

She also plays for one of my favourite roller derby teams, Duke City. I check out her stores all the time to see what she is up to and what incredible things she has crafted. I sent her a big questionnaire and she was gracious to take the time to answer a few questions. I hope you enjoy and I hope you are able to check out her shops.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doom Dee Doom. I hate to say it out loud and always get squeamish when people ask me what my derby name is. I even almost changed it after I had my baby to the first name I thought of , Sultry Confinement. For my very first bout I was Whip Lass because it fit the theme of the team I was on for our leagues exhibition season, then when we reformed our teams I changed it to Agent Orange Crush, but didn't check the roller girl roster first and it got spit back. I had about a week to come up with a new name, so Doom Dee Doom it is. </span></div>

I was always the kid that got hit in the head with a basketball before roller derby, I thought I was uncoordinated and not very athletic. After starting roller derby I realized maybe I was just trying the wrong sports, after all some one who is 5'2" with massive muscular quads isn't really built for basketball, but I would have probably done well at soccer and I was made for derby.</div>

I started playing derby in 2005. Remember back when people used myspace instead of facebook? Well I reconnected with my best friend from elementary school that way. Her myspace name was Dahmernatrix, which I thought was funny and awesome so I asked her about it. She told me it was her roller derby name. Since I love roller skating I went to my leagues first bout of our exhibition season (we had an exhibition season before our first real season). By the time the next exhibition game came around I was on the "Dead Mans Curves". Roller derby has changed my life in unimaginable ways.</div>

I have reached the point that I have more hobbies than I have time for. I am Married (to a ref) and have a sweet baby girl. I also have two etsy stores. I have a degree in fashion design and have been working on developing more sewn products for Caustic Threads.

I think it is the sunshine. I have never been off the continent. I would love to visit Paris, London, most of Italy, parts of Germany, the Netherlands... (list goes on forever)</div>

Tush was opening her own brick and mortar skate shop, the first thought in my head was, well it's about time!<br />
Tush lives and breathes roller derby.<br />
<br />
Before I knew much about her, I would see her everywhere, doing the things I was too scared to do.<br />
Skating on Freemont street with Team Awesome, dancing half time shows at WFTDA Nationals, playing baddass rifts on inflatable air guitars at the karaoke bars in Vegas and playing some amazing roller derby all over the world.<br />

She is very knowledgeable in the sport, she knows everyone, and she has pretty much done everything and always has a blast doing whatever it is she is doing.<br />
<br />
So, this weekend in Montreal is the grand opening of Neon Skates! If you are in the area, or wanna go on a road trip, plug <b>23 Bernard O. (local 23) Montreal QC</b> in your GPS, grab some snacks and hit the road. The Store hours are Tuesdays to Saturday 12pm to 6pm. <br />
<br />
If there is something you need, she will find it for you! If you have questions, she can answer them!<br />
She is going to be doing mail order in the future for those of us not lucky enough to live in Montreal. <br />
In the meantime you can catch <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages&tid=1431722566981#%21/pages/Montreal-QC/Neon-Skates-MTL/102223429828738?ref=search"><b>Neon Skates</b></a> on Facebook, as well as <a href="http://twitter.com/NeonSkatesMTL"><b>NeonSkatesMTL</b></a> on twitter!<br />

The wolves being The Rollergettes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Step moms really stepped it up! The jammers listened well, played smart and really worked hard! They just kept skating, and skating hard, even in the ridiculous heat. The blockers worked extremely well together. The freshies really listened to the rookies and they even pulled off some advanced plays that we had just been introducing. It was great to see that our training program is really paying off. Sufferjet and myself we screaming, and laughing and maybe, just possibly, a little crying! We were just so proud of all these girls. Every single on of them had a shining moment or ten. </div>

Plus! I didn't even have to get my ridiculously awesome yellow shirt a bit sweaty. They were able to do it with only Sufferjet and myself coaching from the sidelines. They were able to finish the whole game, all of them as a team. The final score 189 - 24! Go Step Moms!</div>

Thanks to the Rollergettes for having us down and showing us a good time and a big thanks to Ref Ormed Rebel, Mirambo, Commiekaze, Killson, Back Alley Sally and Scarlet Fox for coming out and helping with reffing and stats. Also a big thank you to all the fans and members of the Forest City Derby Girls that came out to either watch and show their support or help out where ever we needed them.</div>

On June 26th, the Thames Fatales, went to Toronto to take on the Derby Debutantes. Due to the G20 Summit we were told that we should get there super early cause there would be long delays and lots of traffic. The game started at 7, we left around noon, we got there at 2. <br />
<br />
What to do in the rain in a closed down city?<br />
<br />
Have some good times! <br />
<br />
Mirambo found a bubble gum machine that gave out mustaches . All styles of mustaches! We were able to snaggle one for everyone out of the machine.<br />
<br />

We put them on and giggled most of the day. We wore them in the change room, and then we wore them for our intro. So much fun, we looked absolutely ridonkulous. After the intro, we took them off and stuck them to the outside of our bench. Every thing was fine until about half way through the first period, I was skating with Jemicide and Annie Takers on my line, I saw jemicide go in for one of her beautiful hits, she pushed off on her skate and crumpled to the ground. Annie Takers was having an unusually hard time keeping up for that jam. The jam ended and they were cursing. They both had skated the whole jam with a mustache stuck to their wheel. Bad Pit had to confesscate the mustaches. <br />

<br />
The next day Sufferjet made some mustache underwears! Check them out, they are pretty funny,<br />
and they wont get stuck to your wheel when you skate!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">We have two styles, for 12 dollars you can have just the mustache or for 18 you can have a mustache with a custom assogram!</span><br />

You can get the mustache in black, white, red and even pink!<br />
<br />
So check out the shop and get your mustache on!<br />

They are available from the <a href="http://www.shop.ocrollergirls.com/"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word">OC</span> Roller Girls</a> website. They come in super hero style, leopard print, <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">camo</span>, skulls, and golden and blue. I think they are super awesome. <br />

<br />
These ones are my favourite. I have some wonder woman styled hot pants by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/knickerocker?ref=seller_info">Knicker Rocker</a> on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Etsy</span></a> and added with these rocking wrist guard covers would be <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">superheroliscious</span>!<br />
<br />
For 32.99 US you can look like a super hero, and you would probably skate like one too. There are 6 styles to choose from and each one is reversible. So if you don't have your super hero hot pants on you can flip them inside out and go incognito.<br />

</div>Tired of cookies? How about some chocolate skates on a stick? <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">MMMMMM</span> this is available from the UK for 3.95. <a href="http://www.cakescookiesandcraftsshop.co.uk/acatalog/Roller-Skates-Mould.html">Check out Cakes, Cookies and Crafts</a> to purchase.<br />
<br />
If you don't want to purchase any roller skate cutters but still wanna make a roller skate cookie apparently you can take an upside down/backwards "L" cookie cutter and then add two circles of dough at the bottom. Other options would be a circle and make a wheel. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Jammer</span> Stars. etc.<br />
<br />
I will not be partaking in any of these however because my baking, cooking, making anything passed a peanut butter sandwich or chopping vegetables is beyond me.<br />

<br />
We made up a team of skaters called Team Super Sweet, more on the actual team in a later post, but, our first game and really our first time skating together was against one of the best teams in Canada. We travelled down to Montreal, to take on Les <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Filles</span> <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">du</span> Roi. We drank meters of beer, tried on ridiculous shoes, swam in a roof top pool, and got schooled, yet again by Les <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Filles</span> in a 214-66, i think, finish.<br />
It was a great weekend and we would totally do it again! <br />

<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, if you have a super comfy shirt that just fits you really well, it would be super sweet if you could drop us a note at <a href="mailto:hotacrossbuns@gmail.com">hotacrossbuns@gmail.com </a>and just let us know the name of the company on the tag.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Bad Kittie hot pants were made for a derby girl and the Come to Mama ones we just made up to try out our new silver matte vinyl. I think I might steal them. </span><br />
