Hell yeah!&#!@$!!!! Team membership is closed to overwhelming response BUT they do need VOLUNTEERS and SPONSORS. They’ll have their first bout in 2007.

‘After two hours, they plop down on the benches and the floor, their cheeks, facial and otherwise, flushed. You feel their hearts pounding. There’s no mistaking that smell — and it ain’t “perspiration.”‘

Huh?
