Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - (Mesquite, TX)

It's time to lace up the corsets and roller skates.

The hard-knocking heroines of Assassination City
Roller Derby are following their sold-out success of a
season opener last month with the second bout of the
season on Saturday, April 19.

The skaters will follow last month's win over the
Victory Dolls of Oklahoma with a showdown against the
wily women of West Texas in a doubleheader dubbed "I
Was a Teenage Roller Girl!", with live music by

the Big Guns and the always fabulous DJ Sista Whitenoise.

In the first contest, which kicks off at 7 p.m.,
Assassination City's Lone Star Assassins team will
take on the West Texas Roller Dollz. The hell-raising
will continue with the second game of the night
between Assassination City's Bombshell Brigade team
and the West Texas Purple Pain team. There will be
blood. There will be beatings. And there will be some
seriously wicked skating moves, with a portion of the
proceeds going to the Dallas Women's Foundation.

In the meantime, warm up with the ass-kickers of
Assassination City this Saturday, April 12, at a
pajama-themed pre-bout party at the Doublewide Bar,
3510 Commerce St., Dallas.

Assassination City bouts are held every third Saturday
night through September at Dad’s Broadway Skateland,
3022 Moon Dr., in Mesquite. Find a complete schedule

glass.

Women's roller derby, the nation’s fastest-growing
sport, combines speed, action, aggression and feminine
grace. Assassination City went from a dream to a
Dallas destination in 2005. The member-owned league is
part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association.
