I’m so very tired–but, a con weekend will do that to you. I had a blast though. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to the Derby Vixens and Tim Schmitt for making this a great show.
Stay loose,

Great podcast this week. Love the Penguicon discussion.
I’ve determined that my Roller Derby name will be Whitney Bruiseton, with my number one hit single, “I Will Always Shove You”
Nice one, Anna! Thanks for listening.
