Uproar on the Lakeshore- stunning!
by GoGoBerserk on 11/8/10UIC Pavilion - ChicagoI had an amazing time at Uproar on the Lakeshore both Saturday and Sunday. (Couldn’t make it Friday). I commend the Windy City Rollers for an impeccably well organized weekend. This was an inspiring event to be in attendance for. As a derby girl myself I admit that much of my derby watching has been from the perspective of skating on the track. The one thing I noticed that I’d like to start the trend on is deterring interruption of a fans viewing by other fans and food vendors. At hockey games I used to attend it was very common for people to wait for a line change or break in play before they would get up or return to their seats. Even the beer guy knew better than to stand in front of people that were trying to see the action. Derby, with max 2 minute jams and 30 second intervals in between I feel lends itself very well to this sort of courtesy. I will no doubt begin blogging about this but thought I’d share it here as well. The more who know, the better!
