Introducing the Big Easy Rollergirls. On Saturday they rolled through the streets of the French Quarter hitting people with foam bats.
The first year's festival... 250 people turned out. In 2008, the number grew to more than 600. This year, organizers are hoping for more than 1,000 runners, including out-of-towners... "They've been instructed to hit hard, " O'Donnell said. "Every year people complain that they weren't hit hard enough."
Let me tell you I looove NOLA!
ReplyDeleteActually roller derby has gotten fairly popular here locally, but I haven't yet attended.
