All Bout Derby

I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Tom, but when it comes to the world of roller derby, I go by the name of Elwood Bruise. I am a semi-responsible derby journalist. Some think I'm pretty good at what I do, others seem to greet me with ambivilence. I dunno...you tell me. I like traveling around to watch the derby. So if you're nice to me...I might just try to go out of my way to make it to one of your bouts sometime!

My Interests

For this page.....roller derby is all that matters!

I'd like to meet:

If you like the derby, I wanna meet you! There are alot of us out there, but we're still a fringe sport on the fringe of other fringe sports. Does that make any sense to you? No matter....since we're all in this boat together, it's important that we all band together and help "spread the derby word" (thanks, Vominatrix, for feeding me that line!). So yeah...if you recognize me at a bout or after party or something like that, don't be scared to come up to me. I think all the skaters and other derby folk I've met can concure that I have yet to bite any of them.

Music:

Loud Rock & Roll with some killer hip-hop mixed in

Television:

..

Heroes:

Current or Former #1's Pia Mess, JoWanna Ass Kickin'?, Bohemian Gypsy, Dez Asstris, Baby Fighterfly, Vominatrix, Hurricane Lilly, Rettig to Rumble, Franky Bones, RubyROX, Blood Clottia, Rusty Needles, Viva Vendetta, Leif Mia Lone, Lethal Whoopin, November Pain, Angela Death
