Here’s a pro shot by Don Jensen from last scrimmage.
So we had a busy last week full of ups and downs, but it was filled with food, derby, friends, and love! Here’s a picture heavy run through of the week…
One of my very best friends Joanna was in town from Denver, so I gave her a quickie vegan tour of Seattle on my day off Tuesday.
Dirty South, $10
We split this awesome Dirty South at Wayward in order to leave room for some desserts and drinks. A half-rack of tangy BBQ seitan ribs, potato salad, and garlic steamed kale. We hit Violet Sweet Shoppe next for some coffee and tea and I had a little bite of Jojo’s seriously good snickerdoodle, but I was saving myself for Mighty O. I took her to see the Freemont Troll, and some other scenic locations before meeting up with Thomas at our favorite neighborhood bar for a quick drink before we said our goodbyes. It was so nice to see her!
Donut feast later that night with Thomas.
Thomas and I also made a stop in at our extremely close and yummy vegetarian noodle shop, In the Bowl, this past week.

We spent Thursday over at a friend’s for game night, and I snapped this pic of the space needle on our two block stroll back home. We LOVE our neighborhood.

Friday night Thomas and I just opted for staying in and ordering burritos from Bimbo’s (not pictured). But Saturday we walked up to the Seattle Center to meet up with some of my derby girls to go watch the Rat City teams battle it out in Bout 2.
Me in all my Rat City/Grave Danger gear!
PFM girls plus one possible recruit!
The two bouts were both great to watch, and the Derby Liberation Front / Throttle Rockets game went into overtime in a edge of our seats finish with DLF winning.

And here are some more pics by Don Jensen from our last scrimmage…

great post! food! space needle! derby action! so much going on. 🙂
Thanks, Amey! :-
Seriously, these pictures are SO awesome – and I think you take the cake for all-around awesomeness! BTW, I thought of you last night – some girl came to class sick and I literally moved across the room to avoid her. I guess I’d have to literally eat my words but I cannot get sick again this training cycle!
Thanks!! 🙂 Haha, yes, we’re much to busy for sick! I was fighting getting sick last week, and had to skip a practice to go home and rest, but in the end I felt better instead of losing the battle! Vitamin C!!!!
Oh, good, I’m glad you fought it off!
Ouch!
