Roller Derby? Long Beach Rocks

I was out of town with the news came out about the possibility of two--count 'em, two--Long Beach Roller Derby teams--the Dive Bar Brawlers and the Terminal Island Tootsies. Spearheaded by Michelle Steilen, efforts are underway to get enough funding to convince the city to approve a facility. Tomorrow night there's a fundraiser called Zombie Roller Babes Motorcycle Massacre at Ashley's on Fourth Street from 8 to midnight.
