My Roller Derby Crush and I talk about each other on Lake Effect today!



That's right! It's another exciting day when they let me talk some words I wrote on WUWM's Lake Effect. When will they learn (I always spit on the studio mics, that the big problem I see with this arrangement)?

Today more roller derby crush gal pal Megan Gerrity (aka, Penny Larceny) talk about a random connection in our lives and the effect it had on us both in the "Personal Do Overs" segment of the show. All I can say is that Megan's piece is really great. And I limp along trying to keep up, though I think I might just be louder than her. To see if I'm telling the truth about decibels, tune into WUWM 89.7 FM from 10 am - 11 am today. Or go to WUWM Lake Effect on-line to hear it streamed in real time or as an archived piece.

3 smart alecky remarks:

Hi Jonathan:
I listened to your piece today on WUWM! I think you should bring Penny Larceny to our bout tomorrow, Nov. 8. I'd be more than happy to leave you tickets at our will-call booth.

I realize that a few years ago there was a moment of tough love between yourself and the Bruisers, but I really think you should give us another chance. We also bring in 1000, 2000 or 3000 fans per bout, so I think the idea you seem to espouse: that our league is less-than-serious, or some podunk, backwater rag-tag group, is one that you really need to rethink. Unless you have been to one of our bouts lately? If you have been, fine, you may bag on us all you want if you feel you need to, although why you'd want to denigrate a hard-working grass roots organization -- just entering into our third season, by the way -- is beyond me. No, we're not the Gotham Girls. Yes, they kick total ass. They are the second in the nation. That's awesome. But this is Milwaukee, and your roller girls here are also very serious about what they do. We will continue to rise through the ranks (currently 31 out of 50), and when we do finally reach the upper echelons of derbydom -- and that we haven't yet seems to be your biggest complaint against us -- I'd like to think that you would've by then gotten past your contempt of us to realize you have an awesome league, here, where you live. Which is not NYC.

Thanks!
-Rhoda Ruin, Brewcity Bruisers

P.S. please tell Penny Larceny she is awesome.
