"The Northwest is a fertile breeding ground," Austin based director Bob Ray once told us about our area and roller derby. He was right. Tacoma's Dockyard Derby Dames and Olympia's Oly Rollers prove it. Tuesday, Ray's Hell On Wheels, the story how a group of passionate and driven woman created what's now the worldwide roller derby resurgence, will screen at The Grand, with Ray in town as part of a DIY tour. Badass.
