Roller Derby House Cup Dec. 3rd

By TXRD Newsroom December 1, 2016

What does Amortentia smell like to you?

 

To us, it’s the sweat of our teammates as we crowd into the pack box, the dusty scent of the Stinger under our wheels, the stench of gear that hasn’t been washed in months (we all know that skater. Some of us ARE that skater!), and above all, the beer-soaked adrenaline wafting off the crowd who share our same obsession: roller derby. That’s right, muggles, the Annual TXRD House Cup Tournament is upon us!

 

Your favorite witches of Texas Roller Derby have been dealt their fate by the Sorting Hat, and are ready to bring glory to their respective Houses in this thrilling day of magic and mayhem! You might even be surprised to find out who ended up where!

 

Of course, the happy and hardworking Jammit Janet is an obvious Hufflepuff, but did you know that breakout star Joliet Jane is repping Ravenclaw, or that the wily and agile Ninja Please will be skating in red with Gryffindor? And I bet you didn’t know that YOU will have the opportunity to cast spells on the skaters as they battle it out! This underground bout will bring more shock and awe than a Hungarian Horntail rampaging into Honeydukes!

 

Join us for this Yule Brawl on December 3rd at Hogwarts–I mean, the Thunderdome–at 221 Alpine Rd E, Austin TX! Doors at 4 p.m., and the tournament begins at 4:30. Tickets are $15 at the door, $5 for kids under 12, and kids get in FREE when you bring a new, unwrapped toy for Austin’s Blue Santa! Dress for your House or as your favorite witch or wizard!
