Oh Mah God, it’s Summer!

Why yes, it’s the sunny time in which there is NO SCHOOL!

I am quite excited to be done school for the summer and I am looking forward to some awesome things. I’ve got my craft room all primed and ready to go to make cards for the summer, and lots of new ideas that I want to put on paper.

Roller Derby is also super exciting for the summer… Firstly, I am skating for the TOAST! TOAST stands for the Thompson Okanagan All Star Team! I feel so lucky and privileged to have been able to try out, and even more so to have been rostered on the team! TOAST will be playing in the West Coast Dust Up (Facebook Link here: https://www.facebook.com/blairblock#!/events/399432733511059/). We’ll be facing the Terminal City All Stars, Red Deer Belladonnas, and the Anarchy Angels. TOAST has already had one practice and I am loving skating with a different set of amazing skaters. It’s definitely been a whirlwind of 2 weeks, and I am looking forward to the challenges that do come!

I am also announcing the week after the Dust Up at the OKRD’s championship Bout, where the Sun City Sirens will face the Bad Apple Betties for the OKRD Championship skates! This bout should be super-awesome to watch as the Sirens have really brought up their level of play to where the Betties are at, and the Betties have been playing some really tough and hard hitting derby. I can’t wait for this barn burner!

On August 10th, my derby wife and I are headed down to Seattle to watch Rat City play… GOTHAM! We’re so excited to watch two amazing teams go at it and play some hard derby. I can’t wait to see Suzy Hotrod and most of all, Bonnie Thunders live and In PERSON!

Summer is shaping up to be an awesome 2 months, and I look forward to all of the fun!

-Until then…
