Hot Damn It's a Roller Derby Movie: Whip It

I love roller derby and Austin is one of the best places to find it. So my only problem with Whip It is that even though its set here in Austin, it was primarily filmed in Michigan...which is kinda like trying to find good Texas BBQ in Detroit.

The movie was supposed to filmed here in the ATX, but Michigan ponied up some sweet tax breaks and stole it from us. If Austin as a city can't land actual film production here, then folks we have a problem. Plus, I would have sincerely loved to see Drew, Ellen and Kristen roaming around our fair city.
