Gotham Girls in the Press

A must-read! No roller derby fan should miss You Just Can't Keep the Girls from Jamming, a terrific story and photo essay about the Gotham Girls' dominating victories at the 2008 WFTDA national tournament. The story by Paul Wachter appeared in the February 1, 2009 issue of the New York Times Magazine.
In the February 4th Scienceline -- the on-line journal of NYU's Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Program -- the spotlight falls on the Gotham Girls' beloved Emergency Medical Technicians, Andy Provost and John Pearson. (aka Andy Biotic and Ace Bondage) |
