I hit that big pink button that says "cancel account". I've been here since the beginning and im just not into it the way I used to be. That 12$ will now be converted to an extra 6 pack once a month. Those of you that need to get a hold of me, you know how. Adios.
Saturday, July 9, was an evening of mixed blessings for the B.A.D. Girls. After a successful Championship event at the Craneway Pavilion on the Richmond Harbor, league members who were transporting the money raised from the event were robbed at gunpoint.
Thankfully our league members were not injured. However the robbery was not only a shock to our community, but it took our entire financial reserve and profit for the event, totaling thousands of dollars that would have gone towards both future events and our practice venue.
The B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls is a 501(c)(3) and has been entirely volunteer-run since inception. To be robbed of badly needed funds is devastating; to have our league members’ lives threatened is irreparable.
Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot release further details on the case but we have absolute confidence in the San Francisco Police Department to bring us justice.
While the SFPD works on the investigation, the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls are in dire need of fundraising. We have always depended on the kindness of our fans and our community. In this time of need, we are reaching out for your generosity once again. Like the strongest jammers, we do not fall after one hit, and we have no intention of allowing truly despicable scumbags who would steal from a non-profit organization to stop us from rolling. If you can please donate to the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls to recoup some of these financial losses, we would greatly appreciate any amount. Your donation will be fully tax-deductible. In addition, if you can donate items for us to raffle or venue space for us to hold a fundraiser, we promise to make it worth your while and continue to bring you the best roller derby in the Bay Area.
Like the community that we all practice and play in, we are strong. We have always been a league of extraordinary women who are undaunted by obstacles. Roller derby is a sport that embraces challenges, enables resiliency, and celebrates the spirit of the best in humanity. We intend in honoring that spirit and moving forward from this crime toward a much brighter future with all of you. Thank you again for your support. It means more to us now than it ever has before.

Had an epic set fail that somehow still made front page...nutty.
Check out Tauntaun with Bob.
I've announced elsewhere that I'm pretty much done with the SG attempts. I have several reasons, but lets just cite "creative differences". And before that gets taken out of context, it has nothing to do with any staff or member of SG or any affiliate. It's not you, it's me.

Oh roller derby, you are so kind to me.
I am now fully sponsored by Cruz Skateshop and am their staff photographer. I go where they go, where their teams go, where they want me to go. So that means I'll be in Vegas in July for Rollercon. Yay!
Relatively short update. In return, pics of Saint. That is all.
