Down and Derby

There will be no World Series game tonight, but that doesn't mean you have to forgo an evening of fierce, hard-hitting competition. Lace up your skates and sharpen your elbows, because the Denver Roller Dolls' all-star team, the Mile High Club, hosts the Cincinnati Rollergirls All-Stars in Denver's first Women's Flat Track Derby Association-sanctioned bout. And though the Dolls never discourage attendees from wearing their freakiest attire to any of their bouts, those in the best Halloween costumes will have a crack at prizes to reward their efforts. And if that's not enough reason to get off the couch, the Dolls have partnered with the New Voters Project for the month of October to raise awareness, raise cash and help get young voters to the polls in November. Doors open at the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt Street, at 6:30 p.m., and the derby starts at 7. Tickets are $13 in advance and $15 at the door.
