Renegade Rollergirls

saturday 19

What is it about the roller derby phenomenon that gets people so fired up, anyway? In the case of Bend's own Renegade Rollergirls, we'd guess it probably has something to do with the noble, community-minded mission "to provide the women of Bend the opportunity to participate in a team sport that contributes to fitness, making friends and building self confidence." So basically, the Rollergirls are dedicated to elevating Central Oregon's female citizenry, one body check at a time. What's not to admire? Plus, we daresay, society just automatically loves tough chicks in kinky costumes. Advanced tickets at the Renegade Rollergirl retail store located in Midtown Music Hall, Oxygen Tattoo or your favorite Renegade Rollergirl. Doors 7pm. $10, kids 5 and under are free. 8pm, Midtown Music Hall, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., 388-1106.
