This upcoming weekend (12th) the Greensboro Roller
Derby is proud to present a doubleheader bout! Our first bout will feature our
All Stars against the Appalachian Roller Girls from Boone. This
is the first time we are playing each other as WFTDA leagues, so it’s a BIG
DEAL, so come out and support! In our second bout we will see The Elm Street
Nightmares take on the Mad Dollies for the first time since the Championships
last fall and the Dollies are eager for a re-match! The doors open at 4 and
tickets are available at the door or at Stumble
Stilskins, Seven Sagas Tattoos, and Cycles de Oro. Be
sure to welcome back Snarl Jung #83 of the Mad Dollies, who is returning from
maternity leave to play her first bout in quite a while! We are thrilled you
are back Snarl!
You have previously met our Gate City All
Stars, The Elm Street Nightmares and the Battleground Betties, and now it is
finally time to introduce you to our Mad Dollies!

| A-Ha Gabor and Alexandroid |
The captains for this season are Alexandroid and A-Ha Gabor.
Here is a chance for you to get to know them a little better!
First up, Alexandroid:
Droid as described by A-Ha: Droid is an amazing leader with
an extensive understanding of the game. She is wonderfully talented, has the
very best attitude, and is tough as leather!
Your goals for your team this season: I
told my Dollies that if we win the Lockard-Lugin Leg Lamp, I'll do a whiskey
slap at the afterparty and I haven't drank in over a decade so the leg lamp is
obviously always a goal but really I just want to continue to develop our
players and make sure we have fun playing the sport we love.

Favorite move on skates: Can opener. Well,
I should probably specify a *legal* can opener.
Best derby memory: Any time I got to skate
with Helluva Hooker.
Worst derby memory: Losing my spot on the
roster for the Gate City vs Appalachian bout because I broke my leg in the
scrimmage the week before. I heard it break but tried to convince my captain,
AlaBAMison, that is wasn't broken by walking on it. Thankfully, she didn't buy
it.
Best advice for new skaters: Jess the
Ripper gave me the best advice and it's this: Just stay on the track. It
doesn't matter if you're the slowest skater out there, just stay on the track
and don't give up, never give up, never sit out.
And A-Ha Gabor!:

| A-Ha Gabor |
A-Ha as described by Droid: A-Ha is one of
my favorite people to play with, managing to balance passion with calculating
strategy. She has no off switch, no dimmer. She broke her foot mid-bout last
season and continued to play, mostly jam, holding nothing back for the rest of
the game, never once even mentioning that her foot hurt. She also fought sea
monster and won and then punched a yeti.
Your goals for your team this season: To be
the smartest, hard hitting-est, most fun team in the league
Favorite move on skates: Waitressing
Best derby memory:
Skating every practice with such incredible women.
Worst derby memory: Those jams when I go out and over think
everything...that never ends up well.
Best advice for new skaters: Work hard, don't ever give up,
and always remember that it's fun.
If two bouts are not enough for you, be sure to pick up a
season pass at the bout to get access to the Sunday VIP bout! As mentioned
before, these are only open to season pass holders, and you will be able to
also witness the second Betties vs. Nightmares bout of the season! Come out this weekend and support all your skaters, we love all of our fans!
