Rock-a-round the clock tonight


Montreal has Roller Derby fever. Next Saturday, May 19th, les Filles du Roy split it three ways with Contrabanditas and la Racaille at the St-Louis Arena on (5633) St-Dominique.

So those three teams actually comprise the entire Montreal RB league. And it's the prechampionship deciding match. So it's small and worth supporting if you ask me. Plus, ther's tons of diversity in the crowd—gays, straights, Rockabilly boys and gals, as well as the usual suspects: local Mile-End hipsters hungry for a new underground trend. Oh! and i forgot to mention, 3 dollar Pabst Blue Ribbon!! (Ask for PBR if you're an unknowing hipster).



Last week, runner Heidi Rubin (left) from the Filles du Roy team, won a second period entertainment game by beating this guy with a foam stick. And when that broke off, she used his stick to finish it off.
