We’re back from Western Regionals - it was an awesome time and it was great to see so many teams play!  Hopefully we had a chance to talk to you and if not, we will be at nationals in Portland selling the magazine.

Big huge thank you for Nottie A. Saiwant from the Bellingham Roller Betties and RollerCon booth for helping us out at both the Western and Eastern regional tournaments - she was awesome enough to help us with sales and getting the word out so if you see her, buy her a beer!
