Wonder what this crazy thing called roller derby is all about? Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls wants YOU to join our family.

Come see what it’s all about at our Skills Camp on Monday, August 27th at Western Skateland (930 W. 17th St). It starts at 6:30 pm and ends at 8 pm. For a mere $5, plus $1 skate rental if you don’t have your own, we’ll go over the basics of the game and let you try out your skills. We’ll supply the gear, instruction and encouragement for your first roller derby lesson.

BHRG is really keen to add to our amazing referee crew. Men and women who are interested in becoming refs can attend the skills camp to try out their skills AND learn what reffing in roller derby is all about.

If you’re not interested in skating, but would love to learn about becoming one of our essential and awesome non-skating officials or volunteers, stop by and talk to us. We’ll get you signed up! p.s. No charge for stopping by just to talk!

World War II as re-imagined by Quentin Tarantino, this sprawling and wildly violent revenge fantasy pays homage to 1960s action adventure war films such as The Dirty Dozen and The Guns of Navarone. A squad of Jewish American soldiers, AKA the “inglourious basterds” terrorize German soldiers in Nazi-occupied France while British spies gather intelligence on Hitler and a young Jewish woman plots to avenge the death of her family – all whose fates are set to connect. (35mm presentation)

The film is sponsored by Themester, and the College of Arts and Sciences. This fall, Themester explores the theme of “Good Behavior, Bad Behavior: Molecules to Morality.” Films were chosen to complement Themester courses and contribute to our understanding of the possibilities and limits of distinguishing “good” from “bad” behavior; panel discussions with Themester faculty members will follow most screenings.

Every Monday night at 9 pm, The Bluebird nightclub features an evening of karaoke hosted by local favorite Dave Walter.

Spirit of ’68 presents this show, featuring psychedelic pop band Sundress and Bloomington rock group Living Well, at The Bishop. The Bishop features a bar, though the venue area is open to ages 18 and up.

“Their brand of ethereal dream-pop marries many different influences ranging from Pink Floyd and The Beatles but with the modern flavor of Slowdive and Sparklehorse.”
