Skate or get off the 'Pike...the warm fuzzy edition


Sisterperson's crew of slamming skater babes is doin' it for charity this coming weekend. If you'll be in the Newark area on Friday, come see the Justice Betties and the Fire Foxes whip, jam, and booty-block one another to raise money for the city's hard-working police- and firepeoples. In addition to all that awesome skating havoc, there'll be entertainment from the Newark Firefighters Pipe Band. And really, how wonderful and appropriate is it that there'll be a performance of music specifically designed to make you want to get up and eviscerate the opposition, and/or to weep over your losses?

For those keeping score at home, the team to support is the Fire Foxes, although not just because Sisterperson is one of them and not just because the firefighters are providing the music (the cops should have to buy the beers at the after-party, right?). One of my friends is planning to make the long trek up to the rink that weekend, which is very kind of her, and she has a tiiiiiny thing for the fellows in clumsy boots and big red trucks. I'm picturing a victory party with the guys in their high-visibility pants being just the thing to make the trip worthwhile. Fight fiercely, foxes, fight fight fight; impress them with your prowess, do.
