Saturday skate night set Enjoy roller derby, then support Q Center ASTORIA — If you love to roller skate, then the Astoria Armory is the place to be. Two all-ages events are set for Sat- urday, June 13. Roller derby bout First, the Shanghaied Roll- er Dolls will play their fourth home roller derby game of the season. The Shanghaied Roller Dolls and derby girls from all over the state of Oregon will hit the track in two teams and battle it out — Goonies style — as pirates verses mobsters. Why? Because derby girls never say die. The game starts at 6 p.m., and doors open at 5 p.m. The Astoria Armory is located at 1636 Exchange St. Tickets are $10 for general admission at shanghaiedroll- erdolls.org. VIP tickets are also available for $35, which include a drink ticket and bal- cony seating. Limited tickets will be available at the door.
