The Dead of Winter

This weekend I went to Brisbane for the Dead of Winter Festival which was all kinds of fun. Dave's band had a pretty great show.. Except for a sound guy who thinks that if a band is too loud you just turn off the mic instead of fixing the problem. You think the Jubilee would have a sound guy who doesn't ask what a double bass is meant to sound like.

I met a whole bunch of girls who were awesome... one of them being the spunky Miss Amie Lee Trash. It's such a different vibe at gigs in Brisbane. Ladies will come up and have a conversation with me rather than strut around like peacocks that are too cool for school. I know i'd rather go to a show in Brisbane over Sydney any day. I didn't really watch many bands though I actually spent most of my night around the burlesque stage.

I also bought the raddest hair piece from Dropdead Gorgeous...Couture to Die For. There's a lot of people out there that make bows but hers are really ahead of the rest!

You can find Dropdead, Gorgeous... Couture to Die For here. All picture's taken from there.

The saucy model is in the first two photos it's miss India Rose who was also playing at the Dead of Winter Festival with her band the Go-Go Haunters.

Flyer Bombings

Friday night training was great because most of the girls were at the nationals there was only a few of us which meant I had the time to learn a whole bunch of new things! Which was rad. I asked Kamikaze to be my derby wife! She said yes... nothings better than having a derby wife... I was scared I was going to be derby spinster forever!

Saturday night I went with Dave to Sydney because he had a gig on. He played with a bunch of glam bands. It was pretty amusing because big hair is more important that being in key. We got home so late in the morning and I got up early to go on a street skate flyer bomb for fresh meat along the foreshore. I had a blast even though I was crazy tired!

I love Newcastle Roller Derby!
