I am here for Networking

About Me

Homebrewing, cubicle-working, Liverpool-supporting, Derby fan with a pretty view of I-94 from my back porch with my wife, a cat, and my little son.
For those of you visiting because of roller derby, please feel free to openly comment or mock what's in the blog. I'm trying to do a lot of pre-writing for the recaps, and what's there is useful for me in writing what's going on.
I live near the Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium - the exact geographic center of roller derby in America.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jim Wallis
John Edwards
Marcus Brigstock and the Now Show cast
Peter Crouch
Wil Wheaton
Randy Mosher
Daniel Kitson

On the delights of getting plowed.

Nothing new, really, except that it looks like those lucky folks heading west to the Sioux City tournament might get to lay eyes on the first bout between NSRG and MNRG.  Which I am just a touch ...
