Last Friday SVRG had our traditional “night before a bout” potluck and we were getting ready to play the Angel City Derby Girl’s (ACDG) team the Rocket Queens. Usually we have have a pasta potluck to carb up for the next day’s game but since it was a lovely summer day on Friday; we decided to have a BBQ potluck. Donna Diggler hosted the potluck at her Willow Glenn home; which was perfect for such a nice summer evening.

• Picture #1: Smack brought over vegan “chicken” burgers; which were pretty good. I made a vegan potato salad and we also BBQ asparagus (not pictured).
• Picture #2: Mr. Ed Roth, Donna’s super cute dog
• Picture #3: As per the usual pre-bout potluck tradition; we had to watch bout footage from a previous bout. We decided on watching bout footage from our bout against the Santa Cruz Derby Girls a couple of months ago.
• Video: Somehow during the potluck we decided it was a good idea to tow Donna’s turtle (small contraption that is a combination between a bike seat and a skateboard) while attached to her bike down the street. The video is very brief and I don’t know why we decided to do something so dangerous the night before a bout, but it was fun! Kyle made the turtle spark and I almost got my toes caught in Donna’s bike spokes!!!
