Travel team update
By Tea Krulos Photos by Bruce Berna The Brew City Bruiser’s All-star Travel Team kicked off the summer travel season with two games I’m calling the “secret brunch bouts” because they were both on Sunday afternoons and not open to the general public. From what I understand these bouts took place for the love of derby and to help the team meet the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA, commonly pronounced woof-da!) standards. The first of these secret brunch bouts took place May 31st against the Arch Rival Roller Girls from good ol’ Saint Louie. The Archettes flew over the Brew Crew’s heads and won the bout, 81-70. The Bruisers won the nail biter second bout against the valkyries of the Twin Cities Northstar Roller Girls by JUST ONE POINT, 92-91! Great job Bruisers! The next home bout for the Travel Team will be open to the public July 18 against Madison’s Dairyland Dolls. More info at www.brewcitybruisers.com

Help us rename the Bruisers column
Last month, VITAL Source and ThirdCoast Digest were threatened with a cease and desist order by another derby league in the region, alleging that the title of our popular derby column Talk Derby to Me, by Tea Krulos (with a fabulous vodcast of the same name by Noah Therrien), was protected under U.S. Trademark. It’s a dark day for Milwaukee derby lovers, but have no fear: we will continue to publish the bout recaps, skater interviews and season recaps you’ve come to love and post great footage, live from the track, after every game. Today, we ask you today to help us select the new title of TD2M: 2.0. If you don’t like any of these, we’re savvy; just shoot us an email and let us know if you’ve got a better idea. We’ll add it to the poll. Voting closes on April 10 and the new title will be unveiled at the April 18 Bruisers bout at the Franklin County Sports Complex. You can buy your tickets now at brewcitybruisers.com! Thanks for your help! [poll ID: “2”]
