Saturday of ECDX


Saturday was my game day. So, the Queen City Cherry Bombs met up for a late breakfast down the road at the Suburbia Diner.We had the pleasure of having a gentleman named Abdul as our waiter. He was patient, understanding, and fast!
Yay Breakfast!
Dan was all "WHOA! PICTURE TAKING!" Priss was feeling sassy.

Scott: What's that on your face, Irate?!
 YES! There was Pie for Breakfast!!!


I and my roomies took our sweet time getting ready after breakfast, and I finally  took my first "Glass Self Portrait"
Yup! That's me!!!
Once we were finally ready to go we gathered our gear, hopped the shuttle and headed off to the venue. We arrived and immediately went to rink 1 to get set up, check the floor, and watch some other Derby in action!
Let's gear up early

And hang out a little.
We had a chance to then skate... and then it was all "Go Go GO!" for a 30 minute bout against the Philly Block Party. It was a tough 30 minutes, but a lot of fun!
We really gave it our all. We didn't win, but we had a hell of a great time!

After this, it was back on the bus so we could drop our gear and then head back to watch the action for the rest of the weekend.


The unfortunate side effect of my life at this point is that I took a ton of pictures on my camera... but I don't seem to have a chord to get them off said camera. *sigh* So, here is what I watched Saturday through Glass only:
Yep... that's all I got through Glass Saturday.


Everything else is on my camera, including shenanigans afterward when we headed to the bar at the Hotel.

Hopefully I will get Sunday posted tonight before I leave for the weekend. Until then... WORK!
(Also, chord hunting... damnit!)

It's Hard to Live

I had intended for my next post to be about Roller Derby and the joys and adventure ahead of me. I had planned to talk about the end of the Glass Explorer program. That's not what I want to talk about today. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life, is living. No one truly knows what goes through someone's mind when they are at their lowest. The struggle with depression is personal, dark, and terrible. Some days are easier than others, but that cloud is always there. Most of us who suffer this invisible illness smile, we push, we try our hardest. Some can keep forcing it their whole lives, or most of their lives. Some get caught up in that darkness, and lose the fight though. It's not easy. Being sad so much of the time takes it toll. Most of the time you suffer alone. Why? You don't want to burden another with your feelings even you know are irrational at times. No one ever said feeling made sense, right? So you (we) hide our feelings and push them down. ...

The Grey Lady

For FolkeWood questing, I was tasked by Neil with creating a living statue costume. And by tasked, I mean I jumped at the chance to do it. So, how did it all come together? Well, it was weeks of research, planning, and execution with the aid of several people. I feel that the Realms would benefit from knowing how things were made when it comes to big costumes and props. I also hope that with this, we can up our costuming game. Let’s start with the dress. We knew the look we were going for was pseudo Greek. I scoured Halloween costumes for the right piece. I found this : As you can see, it is not in the least bit grey, nor was it in any way stiff. With help from Jana “Jynx” Greene and a little more research we found that the next step was to cover the whole dress in Liquid Latex. Jana found the Rub-R-Mold Liquid Latex. She also had the idea to stuff some shopping bags under the waist of the dress to keep it from pulling down/losing some shape. Armed with Rubber G...

Idaho! The Zen of Losing

Well Blog-o-verse, we knew when I started this thing I was bad at updates. Luckily we have had some adventures, so I have something to write about (finally). NH Roller Derby sent the All Stars team to Idaho for the 5th annual Spudtown Knockdown tournament. We went in with high hopes of taking at least one win and having close games, but that was just not to be. We experienced something teams have happen all the time; The Blow Out. Yep, we lost and we lost hard with each game. But, while losing, something wonderful happened. I have been on the All Stars team off and on since 2008 (2013 and 2014, I declined the opportunity to try out). For the first time (that I can remember) not a single person gave up on our bench, no one was blamed or shamed, everyone was given a chance to play and show their worth, every skater smiled and pushed hard, and no one was angry at the rest of the team. No insults at each other, no flung words at the other teams. We had... Zen Bench ! I mean,...
