Ep-15 Durham Region Roller Derby

Ep 15 Durham Region Roller Derby Andrea attends the home opener of the Durham Region Roller Derby (DRRD). There are 2 matches, Bout 1 is the “Competitive League” of the DRRD vs The Nickel Belt and Bout 2 is the “Select League” of the DRRD vs The Nickel Belt.   All team players had creative names like Code Blue, The Librarian, Glitch, Recklessness, Murphys Law, Hard Korr and also Cory just to name a few. The competition in both bouts was fierce. The event had a Medieval theme and there were cosplay, Concessions and activities. I had a great time.   One of the concessions were from 8-Bit Beans. In editing I was not able to emphasize DRRD member “Glitch” explaining her arcade but it is an arcade with a café where they also sell coffee. Lots of fun! https://www.8bitbeans.com/ [https://www.8bitbeans.com/] DRRD Links: https://www.facebook.com/DRrollerderby [https://www.facebook.com/DRrollerderby] https://linktr.ee/drrollerderby?fbclid=IwY2xjawRId6JleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF4bW54elNXTDZlcTlQQ0Zjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgxReZsrcEIvDTY9CmwOkEluzGtADA1fxks7rex80i31yVoJhpogPLLVTsi5_aem_WL1GVSxGSHA3sA2oxz8Llg [https://linktr.ee/drrollerderby?fbclid=IwY2xjawRId6JleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF4bW54elNXTDZlcTlQQ0Zjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgxReZsrcEIvDTY9CmwOkEluzGtADA1fxks7rex80i31yVoJhpogPLLVTsi5_aem_WL1GVSxGSHA3sA2oxz8Llg] drrdmediapr@gmail.com [drrdmediapr@gmail.com] What Andrea Is Watching: Paranormal Seekers venture into Wildwood Sanitarium Restoration Project.

Ep-12-The Coffin Creek Cafe

Shelly and Andrea visit the Coffin Creek Café. This is a horror themed café full of horror themed nostalgia, frights and tasty delights.  They also sell their coffee online as well as offer a variety of unique gifts. To be honest, the scariest view in this episode was my witchy hair! Also, due to Audio difficulties, we just haaaaad to 😊 go back a second time, talk about a dreadful mistake, but that is why our hair and outfits are different, no weird witchcraft or sorcery or anything to see here folks. Only a great time was had. I give it 2 cold dead thumbs up! A great place for a date, a hang (teehee) or if you need a great cup of coffee. Don’t forget to look for the secret room! https://www.coffincreekcoffee.com/ [https://www.coffincreekcoffee.com/]
