The Charlotte Roller Girls will host a Whip It launch party at The Common Market South End on Friday, September 25 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. The event, held in conjunction with the deli’s weekly free wine tasting, will celebrate the October 2 release of the roller derby inspired movie Whip It. The film, which marks Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, stars Ellen Page as Bliss, a rebellious teen who throws in her small town beauty pageant crown for the rowdy world of roller derby. During the party, Charlotte Roller Girls players will give out free tickets to next week’s advanced screening and Whip It VIP prize packs.
The Common Market South End is located 1515 South Tryon Street. It is also conveniently located a short walk from the Bland Street station on the Lynx Blue Line.
