NAME: Pamplona Pain

NUMBER: 0L3 (olé)

HOMETOWN: Indianapolis, plus Boston, Chicago, and D.C.

OCCUPATION: Reporter

POSITION: Blocker

BIRTHDAY: July 18

HATES: Ignorant people, neighbors who keep me up too late, pad stink

LOVES: Soap that can handle pad stink, talking derby on and off the track, witnessing others who are making the world a better place

DERBY INJURIES: After falling on my tailbone at my first practice, I had trouble getting in and out of my car for a couple months; mostly a few bruises

FAVORITE DERBY MOMENTS: Road trips to watch derby with or without CCDG playing (favorite trips so far include: Cincinnati, Bloomington, Lafayette, Fort Wayne); parties and bonding with teammates at RollerCon 2010 in Vegas

MEANING OF YOUR DERBY NAME: A tribute to Spanish art and culture. But when it comes to bull fights, I'm pro bull, if you were wondering...

TRADEMARK: Working on it…

FAVORITE. . .

  • ...skate set-up? Still figuring that out, hope to get some new skates but have been experimenting with wheels and bearings on my rookie skates
  • ...song to skate to? Internal soundtrack at practice has included many David Bowie and Queen songs for some reason.
  • ...things about derby? Exercise, the ability to see improvement at practice, an excuse to wear fun outfits even for practice
  • ...drinks? Anything caffeinated but in moderation. Especially Coca Cola. And the occasional Vodka cranberry
  • ...foods? CHEESE -- all kinds; anything with avocado or fresh veggies; yogurt -- all flavors; anything that goes well with Nutella
  • ...things to do off-track? Volunteering, starting (but rarely finishing) projects that involve my house, visiting museums, reading, communing with nature
