It’s no coincidence that Drew Barrymore’s Roller Derby film Whip It is based in Texas; Austin kick-started the modern revival of the skating sport, and aspiring Derby-ists come from all over for the chance to play on one of our renowned teams. The Texas Rollergirls draft skaters this weekend for each of their four teams: the Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, the Hotrod Honeys, the Hell Marys, and the Hustlers. Donations are encouraged to their Coats for Kids drive, but otherwise, don your team colors. The chance to lace up with the best means the world, so energy will be high. – Flora Belle Farr
