Women's roller derby rolls back into town with the Philly Roller Girls' season opener this Saturday. The Heavy Metal Hookers will kick off the evening's bloodshed as they attempt to show the Carolina Roller Girls' Debutante Brawlers how we do things up north. In the second matchup of the night, two-time Warrior Cup champions the Philthy Britches will face off against the Broad Street Butchers.

You've heard us mention the Philly Roller Girls before, once or twice. Well, they're having their 2006 championship game this Sunday at their regular spot: Millenium Skate World, across the bridge in Camden. Both teams - the Broad Street Butchers and the Philthy Britches - are undefeated, so it should be a good match. Get there early to see performances by Rich Hillen Jr. of The World Famous Crawlspace Brothers (who we're not sure are really all that famous, as we've never heard of them, but still) and Hola Diablo. Also consider helping the girls and the People's Emergency Center by bringing some of the supplies listed here, which are being collected for homeless families. Each item you bring with you gets you a raffle ticket which could win you prizes between periods.

C'mon, admit it: you haven't washed that filthy old car of yours since Clinton was in office. So why not take it up to the parking lot next to Walt's Circle Tavern - right off Oxford Circle on Route 1 in Northeast Philly - between noon and 5PM tomorrow and get it washed by the Philly Roller Girls? (Check out our fun interview with them here.) They'll do it for you (on their skates, we hope) for only $8 (with a half-price discount for police and fire vehicles), and the money will go to fund their new travel team, who are headed to Las Vegas in November to face the Sin City Roller Girls. While you're there, you can pick up tickets to the league's first ever championship bout, which takes place September 10th, and features competition between two undefeated teams: the Broad Street Butchers and the Philthy Britches.
