| | All I can say is WOW what a great time EVERYONE had on Friday night! In total ~$400 was raised for the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society. Not too shabby for one day of fundraising and a few lump sum donations. Keith Fields, the owner, is one of the truely good guys in the industry. Everytime I see Keith, I feel his amazing love for tunnels, bodyflight, and can tell how much he cares for his staff. Along w. Brad Hess, the marketing manager, planning this event was a breeze. Both were willing to do whatever it took to get us what we needed. All I had to do was ask and they were right on top of it. In addition to Keith and Brad, the rest of the staff was amazing as always. The vibe and love that exists at Flyaway Las Vegas is incredible. I have felt nothing like it at any other tunnel (not that other tunnels don't spread love, it's just different). To truely know the love and understand the vibe you must visit. This tunnel is at the top of my list for places to go and fly frequently. It should be on the top of yours as well, you won't be sorry. I have now visited Flyaway Las Vegas 3 times and every single visit I have had the time of my life. The staff is so skilled, friendly, and seems to always been in a good mood (I attribute that to having a kick *** boss/owner and job). When you walk in the door you get smacked w. this amazing vibe that is like being eaten by a HUGE bear hug You become one of the family and feel as if you have made friends for life. I know I cherish the friendships I made w. everyone at the tunnel and would welcome any of them openly into my home (just as they welcomed me to theirs). The staff gets super pumped when they get skydivers or tunnel rats. Being located in Vegas, they get plenty of tourists all day long so they are like kids in a noisy candy store when jumpers/rats come in! You can tell they have so much fun playing w. skydivers and frequent flyers. Everyone on staff has an amazing attitude towards bodyflying and tunnels. They are all open to new experiences and love trying new tricks. I left Flyaway Las Vegas w. a few new ideas and hopefully they learned some SV tricks from Brad & Steve, SVPerris instructors. Okay, on to the event..... Keith's generousity knows no bounds (and that's not just w. the TPM either ). Friday night, there was a group of 8-10 girls flying for fun. The tunnel ran for 1 hour and 20 minutes for FREE! All I can say is THANK YOU KEITH, you spread love and fly like no other I know. The Tunnel Pink Mafia is very lucky and pleased to have FALV in on the love. Edited to add: I'd pay any amount for tunnel time at FA LV but luckily both you and I don't have to as they are one of the least expensive tunnels out there! I'd easily pay double for the experiences, flights, and friends I have made out there. I was unsure of what to expect Friday night since I had never met any of the girls previously. My skills in the Flyaway environment aren't that great so I was a little worried, okay a lot worried, about the inductions. When expressing my hesitation to Jody, so matter a fact she said, "just fly in the middle and I'll come to you" <Paige breathes HUGE sigh of relief>. That was the attitude (and skill level) of every girl there. It was amazing to see so many talented females at one tunnel rocking it out. Even more amazing was their attitudes and willingness to for pictures, share their knowledge and skills, in addtion to spreading their love of bodyflight and Flyaway Las Vegas. I cannot say THANK YOU enough to all the girls who made my weekend on I will NEVER forget. I hope you all know that if you are ever in FL, please hit me up, you will have a place to stay and tunnel to fly. I have now put on 2 female events in 2 different states. Each event holds a special place in my heart and I will never forget all the amazing women I have met in my travels and tunnel flying. I can honestly say that every girl at Flyaway Las Vegas Friday evening embodied what it is to be a TPM Sister. They spread love and fly but more importantly they love one another and help eachother along the way. You could tell how close they all were and they were so willing to invite you in on the love. They are spreading the love of bodyflight daily by coaching and working w. students. I am tickled pink that they will now be spreading the love to females w. Barbie. THANK YOU EVERYONE at Flyaway Las Vegas for making my trip one I will not soon forget. I miss you already and I hope you know that you can conunt on me for your FL travels and tunnel excursions.

~*~Spread Your Love & Fly~*~

| Thanks for sharing Paige. So cool that some new sisters are among us. It is so awesome that you raised $400 for cute furry creatures.

| Paigey~
What an awesome post about the Vegas trip. I just saw all your beautiful Vegas pictures on the TPM website. (I LOVE THEM ALL!) Wow, I am so happy for everyone who was able to go. Please think about scheduling another trip later this year. I would love to go, or I would love to schedule one myself.
Thank you, again, for the follow-up post. You all look great in the pics. It seems like you had a wonderful time. I'm so happy for you! 
Much love,
~Ro
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. Much love to all of my sisters!

| You have? Wow, nobody has e-mailed me about this, yet. I feel so out-of-the-loop right now. It's ok because I was very busy with my Wigs on Fire event, anyway. 
I doubt that I could make it this summer, Dawn. My new nieces are going to be born to my older brother and his wife, and my younger brother is getting married to his fiance at around the same time this year. Please keep me posted via e-mails, ladies...just in case. I'd love to try to make it to, at least, one of the trips...
