What easier way to support your local roller derby team than eating a delicious burrito or sipping on a tasty margarita? Come celebrate Presidents’ Day with us!

If you’re free on Monday, February 15th, the Silicon Valley Roller Girls are hosting a fundraiser at Aqui Cal-Mex Restaurant in Willow Glen. You don’t have to do anything special but come have a margarita and/or eat dinner, tell them when you order that it’s for SVRG, and they will generously donate 20% of their proceeds between 4 and 9 pm. Aqui is located at 1145 Lincoln Ave., San Jose, 95125. There is parking on the street or behind the restaurant.

You can bet I’ll be there. Foodwise, I love the Angus beef burrito and the Cuban pork enchiladas, both with plenty of pico de gallo. (You can peek at the menu here.) I also endorse their Industrial Strength Margaritas. I confess, when I first saw margaritas in a machine, having moved from Tucson I was very NUH-UH at first. Let me tell you–those frozen margaritas are some tasty treats! I am a big fan of the strawberry swirl…yum. They do have some kick to them, though, so carpool with a designated driver if necessary. See you there!

Come say F*U Valentine’s Day with SVRG at Jack’s

It’s that time of year–yes, the time when you’re sooo glad you don’t have to put up with the nonsense of some  manufactured Hallmark holiday. We got your love right here–derby love! Come hang out with the Silicon Valley Roller Girls at Jack’s Bar and Lounge, 167 E. Taylor (@ 4th) on Saturday the 13th starting at 8 pm. We’ll have drink specials, photo opportunities, and prize drawings (including some special treats from Good Vibrations). If you want to know what you’re getting into, check out pics from our F-U VD party last year.

Also, GIVE BLOOD and GET BEER!

SVRG is partnering up with Jack’s Bar & Lounge to help save lives.  Support life, support derby, get beer!
Here’s how: Donate blood at any local Bay Area blood bank and give your receipt or sticker to your bartender at the F*U VD party with the Silicon Valley Roller Girls, Saturday, February 13th, at Jack’s and get $1 off your drink! It’s that easy!

Here are some links to local blood centers:
San Jose Blood Center
Stanford Blood Center

**Please note: Giving blood within 24 hours of drinking alcoholic beverages is not advised. Please be smart and donate in advance.

See you at Jack’s on Saturday, Feb. 13!
