Halifax’s first Roller Derby event… wow… I was entirely overwhelmed by all of you, the organizers, volunteers, supporters, the whole freaking crowd was WOW! Every last one of you! My heart is filled with such joy. I am pumped for the next bout later this summer at the BMO center in Bedford! All the best and I love every single one of you.
We lost but only by score; we won in every single other way possible! —Derby Fan #1

I remember rollerskating to ‘the bartman’ and doing the ‘locomotion’ as a kid…
My mom was cleaning out some boxes the other day and found my bartman tape. ROFLZ. I bought it when I went to see Bart in person at the Superstore in bagtown with my best friend and her family. I remember I ate roast chicken chips and cried because I had a UTI and it hurt and i just wanted to go home. 🙁
DO THE BARTMAN! ♫
“I went to see Bart in person”
um… what? You do know he’s fictional, yes?
meeting him would be rather difficult.
It was some guy dressed up as Bart, duh.
He’s HUGE in person, fyi.
I see that

there’s nothing in the pic for comparison but I have it on good authority that each of his shoes is just bigger than a smart car.
