Get Loose!

BnC HQ had a bit of a shindig last night to celebrate Monday’s launch of the brand new album from Hobart punks Ballpoint. It just so happened that Ben and I had spent the day commuting to Devonport and back to pick up the LCCC’s roller racing set up and arrived back just as the party was kicking off. Naturally we’re in our element when beer is onsumed in close proximity to bikes (ask Ben, Nic and Rozzi about their recent drunken crashes and resulting cuts/grazes/bruises/destroyed helmets). One thing lead to another and before we knew it the rollers were in the lounge room, the clock was set to go, and Nic and Ben had stripped down to their underwear for a true BnC style battle to the finish line.

Unfortunately neither were sober enough to stay upright for very long and the race was soon abandoned so that more beer could be consumed. Regardless, the impromptu event was a sure sign of the chaos and bedlam that will undoubtedly occur at the BnC Roller Derby on April 19, as part of the 08 SS Nationals. In Tasmania we get serious about our racing, and clothing is optional and definitely not encouraged.

On another somewhat related note, if anyone has some good advice on getting vomit smell out of a couch, please let us know as we’d like to be able to hang out in our lounge room again some time soon.

  1. I ended up putting some baking soda on it and it’s worked a treat. Or maybe the smell’s just been masked by the copious amounts of coffee that have been consumed this morning.
