Help us raise $8000 for the Animal Humane Society

The Minnesota RollerGirls will be participating in the Humane Society's 2007 Walk for Animals on May 5! As a league we have a collective "big heart" for our own pets and for rescuing/helping pets that need loving homes. The Animal Humane Society has five Twin Cities locations and cares for more than 35,000 unwanted, abused, and neglected animals each year.

Our goal of $8000 would be enough to buy: diagnostic equipment and lighting for the surgical team, an anesthesia machine for the mobile spay/neuter unit, and provide x-rays for four injured animals.

Please support us with a donation by going to our team page, selecting the "Support Minnesota RollerGirls!" button above the thermometer or "Make a Gift" below the thermometer.

Thanks in advance for making a donation on behalf of the Minnesota RollerGirls and helping the Animal Humane Society! And if you want to support your favorite team in reaching each team's goal of $2000, just include the team name in the "add a personal note" field on the donation form.

Wheelie Awards ... coming soon

If you were at the bout on March 16, you already know that we're running voting a little different this year. You had the opportunity then, and you will again on April 28, to vote in person via paper ballot. We'll also have some limited online voting taking place toward the end of April or early May, so stay tuned for that.

Missed them last time? Well, we have a few more.

These babies sold out so fast last time, our heads were spinning. We printed up a few more and you have another chance to get a set of this season's trading cards at the bout and via our online store. Each "pack" contains a card for each girl (vitals are on the back) plus a team card and a sampling of our dedicated refs and our one-and-only janitorial artist. Get 'em while they're hot; these babies won't last long! Only $5 per team.

Special thanks to Tony Nelson for all the fabulous photography for the cards. And, as always, these babies were designed (and even printed) by your very own Minnesota RollerGirls.

Hope to see you there on Saturday, March 17th!

Let us serve you ... drinks that is. Two more times in this lovely month of March a variety of Minnesota RollerGirls will be celebrity bartending at Station 4.

I just posted pics from the last bout.  Here's the link.
http://tnfoto.fotki.com/minnesota_rollergirls/season_3/season-3-3307/

I also replaced the proofs from the trading card portraits with
versions that are exposure & color corrected  There's still a little
variation between them but they look much, much better than the raw
versions.  These also have the copyright stuff embedded in them so feel
free to save & post them if you want.  They're in the same folder as
the original proofs were with the same password (that I won't post
here).

Remember, with all of these you can get a slightly larger version by
hitting the "get original uploaded file" link.

Enjoy!

Here's the link to the 1/27 bout pics.  I was over at Xcel shooting
the Timberlake show so I missed quite a bit of it but there's still a
lot there.
http://tnfoto.fotki.com/minnesota_rollergirls/season_3/season-3-12707/

And as far as the new portraits go, so far it looks like tomorrow
(2/13), Thursday (2/15) & Monday (2/19) are happening & I'm hoping to
get everyone (or as close to everyone as possible) in these 3
sessions.  I'd especially like to get more people to come tomorrow &
Thursday.  It takes quite a bit of time to set up to shoot and, since
I share my studio with others who may need it on the days I'm not
there, I have to tear down & set up again each time we shoot.  Hence,
my wanting as many people as can make it as soon as possible.  I have
5 or 6 each set up for Tues & Thurs but would like to fill out the
rest of the day/evening - if anyone else can make it on one of those
days, please let me know ASAP.

DIRECTIONS:
My studio is in the Northrup King Building at:
1500 Jackson Street NE, suite 404

Here's a link to some directions from wherever you might be coming
from.
http://www.northrupkingbuilding.com/contact.html
The closest entrance to my studio is the one on Van Buren street
(with the green awning over it).  NOTE: If you're coming after 6pm
the outside door may be locked so call me & we'll send someone down
to let you in.



If you have trouble finding me, call me on my cell at 612-964-1045.

...howzabout a nationally syndicated radio show that would spread the word that DERBY IS BACK??...

...here's the bit. There's a new syndication network called Nova M. Some of you have heard of it already because they're the ones that picked up Mike Malloy's show after he was so dishonestly dumped from Air America Radio. They have Malloy back on now in Phoenix (where they own KPHX-AM 1480), Little Rock (where they own KDXE-AM 1380), San Francisco (KQKE-AM 960), Sacramento (KSAC-AM 1240) and Seattle (KPTK-AM 1090) as well as Sirius Left (Channel 146 on the Sirius Satellite Radio system across the U.S.) Lu Cifer on the LeftWingRadicals Yahoogroup list just let me know that they have a portion of their website at http://www.novamradio.com/Net_Contact.php?Nav=9 on which they state:

"Have you got a show you think should be on our network? Maybe you know of a host we should know about? Send that over to our talent scouts over at < programming@... >."

Of course, Lu, being in South Florida, sent them a plug for Neil Rogers, the Miami-based talk legend that has held down the midday slot on WQAM 560 for more years than some Derby skaters have even been alive. Fair enough...

...what I want to do is a late-night show -- Midnight to 2:00 or 3:00 Eastern Time, 9:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. or Midnight Pacific Time. And one of the things I want to do on the show would be keeping the audience up to date on everything happening in the world of Modern Day Derby, both flat track and banked track. I did what I could in the last year on my old show on WLSU in La Crosse, but the nearest leagues to La Crosse are Minneapolis-St. Paul (Minnesota RollerGirls), Madison (Mad Rollin' Dolls) and Milwaukee (Brew City Bruisers), all outside the signal range and each a hefty drive from town. A nightly national radio show that plugs the hell out of Derby would be a whole lot better than tossaway human interest stories on local TV or in the Daily Birdcage Liner, wouldn't it?...

...as for my own qualifications, I've been involved in broadcasting in one form or another since I was 9 years old. Anybody who wants to see my resume can email me off-list and I'll send it out in Microsoft Word format. There's RealAudio of me doing a rock 'n roll oldies show in 2001 at http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/mackenzie2.ram and you can download one of my better "Echoes of a Century" historical programs at http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=11574 (click through on the "Download" link at the bottom, then save the target on the next page to your hard drive)...

...Mike Thomas and Mike Newcomb, the heads of the Nova M network and the local owned-and-operated station in Phoenix, can be called at 602-257-1351 during regular business hours Arizona time. Would love it if some AZRD and TRD gals could give the Mikes a holler on Monday or Tuesday towards that end. If you have flat-rate long distance elsewhere in the States and Canada, that'd be great too. And the email addy upmessage is useable if you can read this. Let's get this thing up and rolling!...

New Year's Eve at the Lab

Hey kids!

We're having a New Year's Eve party. Or, rather, our friends Barb & Stuart are hosting it at their warehouse space in NE Mpls. We've put a couple cover bands together to do a bunch of old dance music (not my regular band but I've actually learned Love Rollercoaster!) and we'll be playing up until midnight after which some form of DJ will take over.

Come if you can! The address is 2426 Washington Street NE - not to be confused with Washington Av - See attached Evite for directions.

The link is right but Yahoo's format doesn't allow for a link has so
many characters so it splits it up over 2 lines & makes the 2nd line
not active.  Just cut & paste it into you browser &, if it doesn't
allow the whole thing to go together, do them separately.  Not sure
if there's a way to make this not happen...

Hey kids,

Doing anything on Halloween?

My band, Street Hassle (www.myspace.com/streethassleband), is playing a short set on Halloween night at a bar in NE Minneapolis called Shaw's Bar & Grill (www.shawsbarandgrill.com). We're opening up for our friends' excellent band That's What You Get (www.thatswhatyouget.net) along with a couple others and we're scheduled to go on at 10PM. (Maybe 9:30). Shaw's is at 1528 University Av NE - click on the Shaw's link for directions.

We're a total Tuesday night basement band (with obviously no recording budget) but we try to get out in the world & play every now & then so come on down if you can! We'd love to see you there.
