Fine, I'll go first...

Next weekend my roller derby team, the Tough Cookies, take on the Fight Crew for the fourth bout of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls 2008 season! The Tough Cookies are currently undefeated this year, and we look to extend our lead in the league and clinch a spot in the Championships in November with a win. Fight Crew is injury-depleted, relying on six sub-pool members to fill out their roster, but the Cookies just lost one of our best blockers to a broken collar-bone earlier in the week.

But we are confident! Our election themed campaign, "Cookies '08" has been paying off, and we expect to come out of this next "primary" with a win!

The bout is almost sold out - and we have been attracting bigger and bigger celebrities each time! In January it was Jeff Probst, then in February Drew Barrymore showed up (doing research for her upcoming movie on Derby), and in March she came back and brought Cameron Diaz with her. It got a mention in People!

So fingers crossed next Saturday that the Cookies can pull off a win!
