As a child I grew up watching Roller Derby on TV, watching Jonie Westen kicking ass with the Bay Bombers, good childhood memories. Needless to say I was trilled as an adult to find out that roller derby was coming back.
A friend of mine posted this on Myspace. Wanted to pass this along, to all the Womens Roller Derby Fans, to see if there was anything that can be done,

so pass it along: ---------------------reposted from Moxxie and Morty--------------------- as you know, over the last two and a half years i've spent pretty much every waking moment trying to help make my roller derby league, the b.ay a.rea d.erby girls, as awesome as it can possibly be. along with so many other amazing and hardworking girls on the league, i've helped find sponsors, plan fundraisers, wash cars, flier every bar imaginable, logged countless hours of phone/ email/meeting time, sold tickets, hocked merch, beer, my soul and my butt for this league, all because i love skating roller derby and i love the cameraderie that comes with it. last week, we lost
our primary venue. this means we cannot hold any more bouts there until the building is brought up to code by its' owners (which may never happen). and just today, we found out that the only other viable venue for hosting roller derby in the bay
area (that we know of) is unwilling to host "our kind of event". i don't know what the hell this means, but it makes me so sad. to think that we've come this far, put in all this work, and had an entire season planned, and now it feels like everything we've worked for has been pulled out from under us. we are doing all we can. we are investigating any and every lead that comes our way about a possible space. we need your help. *if you know of *any* warehouse space in the bay area over 10,000 square feet, with relatively flat flooring and and open plan (no posts in the way), LET US KNOW! *PUT THE WORD OUT. tell your friends. tell them to tell their friends. *know any real estate agents/tycoons? send 'em our way. i cannot let this go. it is really important to me. and if you've ever been to a b.a.d. girls bout and know how fucking exciting they are, it'll be important to
you, too!!! thanks for your support, guys.

I am feeling frustrated and disgusted with organizations, groups etc. that claim to help people. When people who run these groups and organizations are screwing over and taken/pocketing money from the very people the are suppose to help. Like what the fuck are these people thinking, while they are doing this? I think this is one of lowest lows.
