A while back I wrote a column about the group of women trying to start a roller derby league in Fresno.

I finally tracked down a picture of the team.

This weekend I had my first genuine celebrity experience since moving to California. It wasn't anything that would make headlines outside of this blog, but still, it's a decent story.

I mean, some brush-with-celebrity stories start with such buildup you figure the person must have went shopping with Angelina Jolie, and then you find out they saw someone at the mall who looked a lot like the principal from "Saved by the Bell."
