The Sonics Were Never this Hip

I always thought Key Arena was fine place to see basketball. Couldn't understand what the Sonics' problem was with the venue.

Well, anyway, I saw the Rat City Rollergirls at Key Arena last night. It was quite an entertaining show, with roller derby matches, drum and air guitar performances, interviews from the stands, decent stadium food, cheerleaders in drag, and one or two things I can't begin to explain.

One of these things I can't explain is the ritual pictured above, performed by the members of Grave Danger, one of the four roller derby teams.

When the cloaked and daggered ritualists set off, they left behind what the emcee described as a "gigantic, bleeding cupcake."
