Update April 28: The Lowcountry HighRollers are a force to be reckoned with.
The Upstate Roller Girl Evolution felt that force over the weekend when they were crushed by the HighRollers 206-93. The Charleston City Paper shot some fun footage of the girls whooping up on the competition and the rollerskating breakdancing halftime show.
Even better though is BadJon's videoblog, "What Makes a Derby Girl?" Watch it here.
First reporting: The Lowcountry HighRollers want you to take a trip down the rabbit hole with them on April 23rd during their upcoming bout with Malice in Wonderland.
Your favorite hip-checking, booty-blocking warriors will be hosting the Greenville’s Upstate Roller Girl Evolution at The Citadel's McAlister Field House, located at 171 Moultrie Street. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the bout begins at 6 p.m.
The bout will have beer and music by DJ duo Cassidy & the Kid, plus face-painting for the younger fans and a chance for them to play Alice in Wonderland-themed games at half-time. Keep partying with the HighRollers afterward at Patrick’s Pub at 1377 Ashley River Road.
Bout admission is $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Children 10 and younger get in free. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Charleston HALOS, which supports abused and neglected children.
