Today I heard one of my favorite songs from a local band: “Connect 5” by the late, great Karp. It tells the story of Skateland’s final superfly, Bobby Fever. This has to be the theme song for a men’s roller derby team in town, right? Enjoy…
It wasn’t the Tumwater band’s only local sports themed creation: they named their first album “Tumwater T-Birds”. As you can see in this clip from the Karp documentary “Kill All Redneck Pricks”, it was not lovingly titled…
While we are at it and since it is Lakefair…
Karp lives!

Interesting look at the Wenatchee Applesox owner’s quest for ballpark upgrades from the Wenatchee World. The Olympia area would be a great place for a collegiate West Coast League team but doesn’t have a suitable facility. Though not about Olympia, this article illustrates the costs and problems facing a team that already has a usable facility and great support. – Link
