CURRENT MISSION

To rock out, couch style.

ABOUT ME

Melanie is (almost!) 30, a PhD-educated non-profit researcher. She plays roller derby for the Windy City Rollers and spends a lot of time nursing her wounds and partying with the derby girls. Dave is 29, and works for a hospitality design firm, where he is fed and flattered all day by salespeople. He also plays ice hockey and puts up with Melanie. They love to travel, eat, drink, and generally think outside the box.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what feels good.

Need to think of something good here....

Teach, Learn, Share

Melanie can teach you how to roller skate and knock people down. Dave can teach you how to cook and also how to fix anything with duct tape.
We are excited to try any new stuff you wanna throw at us.
