Revised to reflect corrected parade time.
Arizona Roller Derby (AZRD) will be participating in the Tempe Block Party parade on New Years Eve. This is an event that will take place prior to the Tempe New Year's Eve Block Party.
This parade is also not to be confused with the Fiesta Bowl Parade which will run along Central Avenue in Phoenix. (that confused us since we could not find any information on the Mill Avenue parade)
The parade will run a short route along Mill Avenue from 7th Street northbound to Rio Salado Parkway. AZRD will have their hearse in the parade along with many skaters from their four teams and their fresh meat team, Smash Squad.
The parade starts at 6:45PM on Monday, December 31.
AZDR plans to cover this event. If you see Michi-chan please help out your AZDR by making your comments on derby or giving us an "I want more derby!" to be included on the next episode, which is due out in late January.
Reminder that the upcoming AZRD bout is on January 5, 2008 where the 0-1 Surly Gurlies take on the 0-1 Brawlarinas. This bout will be at Casey At The Bat. Doors open at 6:30PM and the bout starts at 7PM. For information, visit azrollerderby.com.
The AZDR recommends that you dress warm for both events given the recent cold (for Phoenix) weather. Casey's is an outdoor venue.
