Roller Derby Bout: Northshore Roller Derby

Biff! Bam! Pow! Watch the action as Northshore Roller Derby takes on an undecided competitor in this month's home game. For those not yet in the know, roller derby is a high-contact sport in which (usually) women full-contact race around a rink. Blows and bruises abound, but half the fun is in the names: look for St. Slam-a-Knee, Nikki Hitz, and Misfortune Cookie. Proceeds go to area charities, so you can watch the tussles with a clear conscience. Exact time to be announced at the Castine Center. $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and only $30 for a season ticket. northshorerollerderby.com.
