You know the old adage about not judging a book by its cover? Well, I experienced the perfect example of that last night when we went to watch the season opener of the Denver Roller Dolls roller derby league.

Since I had never been to a roller derby match, I based my assumptions on the few pictures I’ve seen of Roller Derby girls, and expected it to be a small crowd of rockabilly-fashioned folk drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. Turns out I was way off – well, except for the PBR part.
