With all due respect, I have to disagree with "been there, done that"
Roller Derby has made a comeback big time.
Go to the Gotham Girls website and you'll notice that all of their
events are sold out. I went to one last summer, and it was amazing.
3000 plus people, great music and a great time. Asbury would be a
perfect place for this.
It's not only big in NY either. Indy teams are springing up all over
the nation, and touring just like they did in the old days.
What I think makes this attractive for Asbury is that it's unique,
funky. I guarantee that the same crowd that packs Asbury Lanes would
pack Convention Hall for one of these events.
