<=Page 3 MELBOURNE GRIND GIRLS, CONT.

I've dealt out a little advice, but, from reading this article, let me make one
more observation. There are reasons "young skater boys" put up with 30
women talking at once! It's because they get to go back to their friends
and tell them, "I was hanging out with like 30 rollergirls." Sure, it may be
sad, but it's just the way men are wired. Even for me, if the conversation is
boring, you just say, "You know, I have a trip coming up with the derby
girls. Yeah, I'm their announcer." Suddenly, I am admired. Truth is, but I
don't tell 'em this, it's pretty much like hangin' out with the guys. Childish
conversation with some swearing and belching. It's fun!

NOTE: Gotta watch out for the small rollergirls. It always seems to be the
short, petite ones that belch so loud your ears ring.

When we started conversing on-line, Betty had mentioned they were
going to go to Roller Con in 2008. I winced a little, because I know it's
gotta be expensive to get to Vegas from Melbourne, but told her, if at all
possible, '07 was the time to go. Skate with veterans and go to sessions
to learn the things that'll be helpful before you begin bouting. I got a very
excited e-mail the next week and they worked it out! Her, Cherry Rockette,
and their fellas will be at Roller Con!

I feel a lot better selling stuff when I know part of it will help somebody,
so...a portion of all Flyin' Squirrel proceeds will go toward helping pay for
the Melbourne trip. AND, if you come to the Flyin' Squirrel table and
say, "A dingo stole my baby," I'll throw in another dollar of your sale to
Melbourne. I AM SERIOUS! If a brunette with a cool accent is working the
table, well that's likely Betty. So, say hello, wish them well, and buy a Flyin'
Squirrel shirt without shipping cost and helping Melbourne recoup a few
bucks toward their Roller Con trip.
