A Blizzard?  Must be time for a Roller Derby.  Version 5.0 is tomorrow night.  8:02 racing begins.  Will Ruben W. be the series first 3 time winner and take over the point lead from consistency king Jon H. - or will Jon take his first win, thus shooting him further into the lead going into the last two races?  Or will Ben F. come up with a big win, to certify himself as a master of the roller (I hear he has been practicing).

Details are being finalized for a March World Championship Race.  Plan for a Saturday, towards the end of March to serve as the evening a wheel is awarded.  We have just one more Wednesday night race after tomorrow.  Time is clicking away.  

For all of you who have not partookian in our great race.  No one yet has gotten hurt - and I don't see anything changing that.  Unlike our little trip to Ray's where a few of us found gravity wasn't our friends.  I got a little tipsy over on some technical log stuff (but I do have to say that I was one of three (in the whole place) all weekend rocking the clipless - and the only one in the Crank Bros Mixers). 

Iowa City Don found a way to hit the back of his head on a pole - cracking his Bell (nice punnage huh?).

Marky Mark lost control over some jump boxes and put his mark on one of Ray's solidly built landmarks.  

His shirt was slightly snagged on the wood.

And now for something completely different.  The Oscars are fast approaching - and I am giddy.  A serious man made the list for Best Picture.  As quoted to me by a CEC Theater employee.  Only when a film - that wouldn't normally get played right here in River City - gets the Oscar nod, does it have a chance of making the light of the projector here.  Did I hear you say, "Hurt Locker"?

And let us not forget the Dude.  I will wet myself if the "Man" wins best picture, the "Dude" wins best actor, and John Cameron's Ex beats him for Best Director.

Another film on my radar…  Maybe we will have to look into getting ahold of the Cinema V in Southbridge, so we can actually show movies people WANT to see.  I mean the real people.  Not your mindless lemmings of people.

See you Wednesday.
