Bombing the Bay

by matt

Last weekend I shot the San Francisco Bay Bombers vs. Brooklyn Red Devils roller derby game for SFist. I went into this not knowing what to expect since the last time I heard anything about roller derby was probably watching it with Cohen Sr. about 25 years ago. I can say with all […]
