Pad up, it’s time to watch the REDWOOD ROLLERS knock some “ahem!” into the MENDO MAYHEM (or some expletive less savory) — and, of course, to shout-on the Redwood Saplings youth team as it whips the chrome off those Silicon Valley Web Bruisers (cute name!). We’re talking double-header roller derby, sports fans. Chicks on wheels. Call ‘em chicks and you’re dead. Or hired. Or something. Go! Saturday, June 8, 5 p.m. at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds (3750 Harris Street) in Eureka. Get tickets ($15, $12 in advance) at People’s Records and The Works — they go fast, so move it!
