Declan and I were sitting with the Santa Rosa Rugby Club, a typical bunch of 20-something meatheads and they were totally into the kids' game.  One of them said, admiringly, "Is that a girl?" after one of Ellie's good runs and a woman rugby player from a different group nearby goes "You bet your sweet ass it is!" and before you know it, we had a whole section of meatheads, male and female, totally cheering on the kids.  I thought we were briefly in danger of an impromptu linking of hands and singing "We Are the World", but then one of the kids scored a try and everyone cheered and head-butted each other, so we narrowly averted embarrassment.  You could not have asked for a better marketing tool then those kids.

And by the way, I thought the script was great, too.

Thanks to everyone involved and congratulations,

Steve Flanders
