Xanadu or Die
If you were at Carnival of Destruction in May, you know that the second season is shaping up to be full of excitement. The Band of Brawlers beat The Sprockettes, and the Blackeye Bullies handed the 2006 Envy Cup champions The Take-Outs their first lost ever, meaning all four teams now have a season record of 1-1. On Saturday, June 9, Xanadu or Die will be pivotal in deciding the match-ups for the playoffs in July, so you won't want to miss a minute of the action, as the Band of Brawlers take on the Blackeye Bullies and The Sprockettes face off against The Take-Outs. Tickets are on sale now at Piercology, Surly Girl Saloon, Score Bar and www.ohiorollergirls.com. Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 at the door. Doors open at 6pm, first bout starts at 7. Intermission entertainment from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. [Come see ziggy_bo43 and I face off!!]
