You know what else would be cool in an undergroud sorta way?
Have Roller Derby in Convention Hall.
People might think it's a crazy idea, but head up to Brooklyn and it's a
thriving thing.
AP could probably even have it's own Roller Derby team, and our town is full of
enough
hipsters and rock and roll people to ensure a good turnout.
How about combining music with Roller Derby?
Do a google search on Roller Derby and check out how many teams travel our
country.
Here's a link to the NYC based group;
