The San Francisco Shevil Dead won the last Bay Area Derby Girls home bout at Fort Mason against the Berkeley Resistance, with a final score of 150-74. 

The Shevil Dead took a big lead after half-time, but the Resistance didn't give up without a fight.  

Ever wanted to try curling? Yep, that crazy Olympic sport in which players throw granite rocks across ice, sweep like crazy, and yell "HARD!" at each other! All ages and physical abilities can play. The Bay Area Curling Club gives you all the equipment and personal certified instruction you need to play a game. In the lead-up to an all new student lesson series, they'll be holding Learn-to-Curl clinics especially for students, families, teachers and educators—details and registration below.

Last week I got an unexpected email. Was I interested in learning curling? Did I want to give away a pair of tickets to an "introduction to curling" class? Curling? Uh, OK. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to give away tickets in the short amount of time, but I definitely wanted to check it out myself. While hockey has grown in popularity since the Sharks came to the Bay Area and a number of championship figure skaters call the Bay Area home, I figured there wasn't that much interest in the Bay Area in curling.

It turns out there is a lot of interest, and it's not new—the Bay Area Curling Club has been around for 50 years.
