I'll admit I'm new to Derby. There's Jailhouse Elvis, and a Dead Cheerleader, and me. In case it's not obvious from the photo bellow I'm not tough. I'm not coordinated. I will not be tearing up the track. But I enjoy spectacle and good crowds, and fun sports. Last Saturday's bout was one of two I've witnessed. Ever. And now that Gotham Girls has finished the home season, it will be a while before I can really get back into it. Except, well, in spirit. Or except when reading Bonnie N. Collide, a webcomic by Monica Gallagher.

A few posts from now I plan on interviewing Gallagher about her art, her derby, and her etsy site. More photos and Derby to come...
