You must have caught it too, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. I'm happy to say Derby Fever is infectious. I caught it from my father, who brought it back from one his work trips where he saw his first bout with some co-workers. Infected himself and anxious for more derby action, my dad brought my friends and I to our first bout for my birthday. From my first Jam I was hooked, along with my friends, we attended every Boston Derby Dame bout and picked our favorite team, The Cosmonaughties. I found myself bookmarking 'freshmeat' webpages, renting Whip It several times, and watching YouTube videos on 'how to start derby'. The day when I finally found MDR I couldn't wait to start skating, even though I had never skated before in my life.
Its been months since I started derby, but I'm still above the weather with Derby Fever. Proudly, I've spread it myself; to my man- Miles (who is working to become a zebra), to my friends who want to get involved and already have- Mariah, Morgan, Jess, Lisi, and to all the people I know who just want to watch me kick some ass.
If you take one thing from this, its that you have Derby Fever, do your part to spread it; bring up derby in a conversation, wear your favorite team's shirt, invite some friends to a bout, update your FB with some derby info.
