North Star Roller Girls league action on December 5, 2009, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, MN.
The Violent Femmes took on Delta Delta Di, and the Banger Sisters went up against the Kilmore Girls. Action was fast and furious, and people had a great time. The crowd was 1,535. :-)
Usually I don't whine but I just gotta say this. Probably my greatest unheralded feat as a photographer for NSRG is making it look like there's actually decent light in the Minneapolis Convention Center. There isn't. A few anemic top lights are all we get, and the bounce off the floor is next to nil. So these photos are almost all shot at ISO 6400 with a fill flash and fast lenses open to f2.8. And they all took a week or more in Lightroom to get in decent shape. What I wouldn't give for a venue with proper lighting! :-P
