Oh, the fun of playing with fire… Headed out to the country with a friend this past weekend to experiment with lighting steel wool on fire and seeing what kind of imagery we might obtain.

And I already figured out my name – “Rebel Rouser.” If only I were more coordinated on skates. Maybe next year……… Continue reading Roller Derby Madness
