Hello Derby Fans!
I’m here on your screens today with some fantastic news: we have a bout coming up! Next Saturday, May 17th, we will once again be playing at Edmonds Community College for a home team double header.
Advance sale tickets are available here, and we will also be selling them at the door.
I want to take a moment to highlight our two visiting teams for this game, and thank them for traveling up north to play us!
Our first game, going live at 5pm, will be against the Willamette Kidney Thieves. Coming to us all the way from Portland, OR, they are an unaffiliated team that has played all over the pacific northwest. They have been active since 2013, but like many teams took a break during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have since returned with a vengeance, and we are looking forward to hosting this team for their latest game!
While our first bout begins at 5pm, doors open at 4pm (which is when our beer garden opens, too! And if you don’t like beer, never fear! We also have hearty ciders and wines to appeal to all sorts of tastes).
Our live stream, once again brought to you via Twitch, should kick off around 3:30pm! If you’re interested in joining us from afar, you can tune in here.
Our second game, happening at 7pm, will be against West Sound Roller Derby. They are Kitsap County’s only adult roller derby league and hail from Bremerton, WA. Founded in 2012, they hold core values around creating safe spaces for skaters on and off the track. Heavily involved in their local community, their season extends well into the fall, so if you’re missing your local Jet City games (and let’s be real, who wouldn’t be!), it could be worth a drive down south to see this team play in both September and October.
Once again, big thank you to both of these teams for coming up north to play with us! We are so excited to host you, and to play some fun derby.
To all my readers, I hope to see all your faces in the audience cheering for these awesome players next weekend! Get those tickets and polish off your posters, and see you on the track soon!
Hugs and Bruises,
Public Emily No. 01
