Viva la GCLAW!

Cinco de Mayo, coming to you once again at Zoo City Apparel, the women of GCLAW will flex with rage and determination for your entertainment! Also, for your dollars. All proceeds from our second tournament will be in support of Total Fest XI, an all-ages, volunteer-run, nonprofit, DIY event that brings together creative non-commerical musicians and fans for three-days of great music and times. All new arm wrasslers are Missoula women of rock 'n roll, featuring Sam of the Magpies, Cindy from Vera, Kia who formerly fronted Sasshole, and Hana of Needlecraft and 10 year old gf.

Could it get better? It does! Bellatrix performers will be on stage in between rounds and there will be a hot set from Monks on Fire.

Here's the recap:

Project Selvedge Designs for GCLAW!

March 16th Project Selvedge contestants will be designing sweet digs for some of our finest lady arm wrestlers. See our wrasslers hit the catwalk at Selvedge Studio! Hopefully, the designers will leave extra arm room for bulging biceps.

Overall Champion Lincoln Hawk Defeats Crowd Favorite Lady Forsyth

On January 31, in Round 3 of GCLAW's Inaugural Brawl, Lincoln Hawk defeated Lady Forsyth to become the first ever GCLAW Champion! The match was tight, coming down to a final right-hand wrassle between Hawk and Forsyth. Bribes were made, but the outcome of a 2-1 win for Lincoln Hawk was declared a clear victory by our celebrity Judges Josh Slotnick, Bob Marshall, and Courtney Blazon.

No arms were broken in The Birth of GCLAW and no animals were injured or eaten during the event, despite the obvious hunger of Sassy Squatch.

Many thanks go out to all those who participated in and all who came out to support our inaugural event. GCLAW raised $450 for Garden City Harvest thanks to your work and your bets!

Thanks to our sponsors, Zoo City Apparel, Carlo's One Night Stand, KBGA College Radio, and the UM Women's Center. Thanks also to our wrasslers, our three fabulous celebrity judges, The Chalfonts and Pillow Fort for good tunes after the show, and to DJ Collin for the pre-show vinyl. Thanks to our photographer Carmine Leighton and our design man Sam Berry. Thanks to performers and behind-the-scenes folk, including but not limited to Dave Wise, Charlotte Siegel, Sarah Anderson, Drew Fetherolf, GCH staff, Will Genedak, Val Hingston, Drew Lefevbre, the Zootown Arts Community Center, Sara O'brien, and all our volunteers.

We've got bands, we've got judges, we've got ladies ready to wrassle.
