Today, I spent 7 hours driving so that I could spend 2 hours in the roller derby mecca (aka the state capital) hanging out with some of the coolest people in the state. I know, the math doesn't add up, but it was still a good time, and it's nice to talk derby with people that I don't see three times a week and it's nice to know that every derby league has the same problems, no matter how young or old.

We drove through what Texas is supposed to look like, all lush acres dotted with mesquite trees and cows, and Austin is really cool, it reminded me a lot of Seattle, and the bar/club where we hung out was one of those comfortable patio places where you could sip overpriced coffee and hang out all day.

And while it was an easy drive, I think I could go for the rest of my life without another road trip... for serious. I HATE driving. I really do. Hate it. And I'm never driving anywhere more than 10 minutes away ever again*.

Wow, what a boring post. I have some pictures from the trip, maybe I'll post them tomorrow... maybe not... I'm sure the suspense is killing you.



* until next Sunday when I'm supposed to drive with my new league for a short bout against one of the San Antonio leagues (dammit).
