I like chasing rats, does that count?!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hey, everyone,<\/p>\n

Here at Seattle Seaplanes, we’ve become quite <\/em>the fans of roller derby!\u00c2\u00a0 Seattle is home to the famous Rat City Roller Girls<\/a>, a league composed of four rough & tough derby teams.\u00c2\u00a0 My “mom and dad,” and several of our employees, have faithfully attended several bouts now, and Seattle Seaplanes is even advertising in the bout programs!<\/p>\n

What is roller derby?\u00c2\u00a0 The Rat City web site explains it a lot better <\/a>than I can, but it looks like hell on wheels!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a great sport for women, who, during the day, might be doing something like teaching in an elementary school, or working as a doctor, or pulling shots of espresso.\u00c2\u00a0 Come bout time, though, and these ladies are transformed into rolling marauders, with derby names like “Carmen Getsome”, “Kamikazi Kim”, or “Valtron 3000.”\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 They skate around and around the flat track, hoping to score points, and inflict some pain on the opponents. Wow!<\/p>\n

I decided my Derby Name should be “Toby Wan Kenobi,”\u00c2\u00a0 in honor of that most noble of Jedi Knights.\u00c2\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

Come support roller derby with us – see you at the bout!<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n

Toby James<\/em><\/p>\n

p.s.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know who really is #7 – I hope she doesn’t mind me “borrowing” her number….<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
