This Saturday brings the first bout of the Rat City Rollergirls' 2008 season [0], and NWsource will be there with a vengeance. We're the presenting sponsors, and half our crew will be in the crowd, chowing down on Skillet [0]'s gourmet street food and cheering on Grave Danger, the Sockit Wenches, the Throttle Rockets and the Derby Liberation Front. Advance tickets are sold out, but there should be some tickets available at the door. C'mon down and witness the carnage! And when it's over, visit NWsource and show your love for your favorite Rat City Rollergirls team [0].
