That's right everyone, we've added another event to the June 5th BBQ weekend. Everyone who comes out that morning will get an opportunity to Shoot Instant Cash in the Head. :D

Cost for the event will be approximately $50. We're looking at couple of different fields to host this event at, so stay tuned for more information.

That's what you get for not attending the planning session.

What! I didn't get the memo! Is it with the TPS reports?

It's a conspiracy I tell you, I know it!

Yeah right, just cause I got the gun, doesn't mean I can shoot worth a shit.

And if I can attend (Fuckin' Work telling me I'm on a "Waiting List") I'll have the equalizer to the A-5 Flat.

Plus, we all know ICee can't hit the broad side of a battleship. ;)

Since my knee won't allow me to play (days like today remind me why I can't), I'll be manning the cameras. SO, that means if you want pictures taken, shove the cameras on me (be sure to give yours an identifying mark/name tag) and I can make with the clicky clicky.

And the pictures from the prior Paintball game can now be found in the Album under Mini-Gatherings.

Well that's /one/ theory. Other popular theories place it a bit lower.... :D

Oh sure, you can come out for a giant fire, but not the chance to shoot the lot of us?

My sis has her junior high graduation on the 4th, and I won't miss that for the world, but I'd like to come for the get-together. I'll know closer to the date. My bro may even let me borrow his gun! :)

Have you thought about bringing it some flowers? Maybe buy it dinner?

You got 5 months to make up with your bank account Flak :P
Which, will some of you paintball nuts investigate fields/arenas in the ATL area? I'm all cool with running around the backyard, but I don't suspect that's too great of an idea :)

Update time

Ok, so here is what we got.

Saturday June 5th, we will be hitting Fox Paintball http://www.foxpaintball.com/Paintball_P ... _park.html for some paintball frenzy. We have enough people interested to do a private game. However this also means I need to make a deposit. It is a $15 deposit per person, plus $25 on the day of the game. Now this might get cheaper the more people we have so if you have friends, bring them. Since some of you live in another state, I have a paypal account if needed. Just let me know and I will send you a request.

The field is a bit far from us northwest siders, however it is BYOP, so you save a shitload of money that way.

Any questions let me know, I would like to have all the deposits by next Friday so I can make the reservation at least 2 weeks ahead of time.

Thanks

IC

That is too bad. I will shoot someone around a tree in your name though. ;)

Ha! But IC, you have a good gun that doesn't shoot curve-balls. How are you going to pull that one off?

Damnit Paul! And I just worked it out yesterday to where I can now make the trip for sure. Go ahead, ruin my car pooling plans! ;) lol

I may still end up going. I will probably know for definite in the next couple days.

For this paintball thing...do you /need/ your own gun? Because I ain't got one.

Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 5:43 pm
by Big Jim
Nope. You can rent one at the facility. I don't have the exact cost, although I'm sure IC does.

Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 5:49 pm
by MissTeja
Yeah, if they offer rentals, I'd be curious for more info. as well.

Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 5:58 pm
by MissTeja
Okay, so Paul's showed interest but needs the miracle babysitter or he can't go. 32 has spoken of interest and so has Bishop, as well as myself. Guys and anyone else on the GR to Chicago trail, let me know. If I can find people to kinda split this gas cost up with, I will go. I can drive, though my truck only seats 3 (max) so if we have more, we may need another driver. Yeah. So, let me know who is intending on going so we can hook this up.

The price to rent the gun is already factored into the cost for playing. :) You get your gun, mask, and all the CO2 you need. Only thing it doesn't cover is paintballs but, as I've already offered others, if you need some I can pick some up for a very good price (about $40-45 a case).

Case holds 2,000 rounds and you can split that with another person and have plenty for the day.

Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 6:02 pm
by Big Jim
Daki, if you're picking paintballs up any time soon, pick me up a case please.

Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 6:26 pm
by Daki
Will do. The guy at the shop is going to think I'm stocking up for an army. I'm going to be picking up 3 cases (and maybe more). FYI... I'll be making a run next Friday (day before the game).

Anyone else who needs ammo (and will pay me back)... let me know and I'll grab it for you then.

I will go with to pick up paint. As it is I am already fronting the $15 for some people who haven't confirmed yet.

I hope we get enough people. :)

Aside from that, the cost is $40 total. THis is including the $15 private game fee and the $25 entry fee. This also includes the price of renting the gun, mask, and unlimited air refills.

Those of us /with/ our own equipment just have to eat the $15 extra as a price for the ref. Well worth it though.

Cool, it looks like we might actually have enough people for the private game without having to come up with the extra fees ourself. I will make the reservation today.

Regrettable. Count me out, guys. Too much shit going on right now. LIFE SUCKS!!

Ok folks, here is what we got for paintball.

The place? Fox Paintball http://www.foxpaintball.com/Paintball_P ... _park.html

How to get there? It is 10 minutes south of Sandwich, IL (for those who actually know where that is) in Millington, IL, here is the link for directions http://www.foxpaintball.com/Paintball_P ... tions.html

When? Reservation is for 9:00 am, since is on the other side of Egypt for some of us (Me included) we will say, get there when you can. If anyone is driving with me please let me know A.S.A.P. I know I am already driving Brandon home.

How much? $15 deposit, and $25 on game day. It is Bring your own paint so stock up before you go cause it is cheaper. You can of course buy paint at the field but is more costly. Those who haven’t given me a deposit, you know who you are, shame on you. ;)

Who is going? Here is the list so far.

Instant Cash: Well I have paid my deposit at least.

Daki: He is paid and ready to go

BigJim: He /will/ make it back from spain in time, so we can shoot him for going.

Brandon: A great way to celebrate graduating 8th grade. J

Mike Ludwig: Been a long time, you will now be able to shoot me a lot with those mad skills.

Mark: Look forward to shoo…I mean seeing you again.

Jason Woods: Friend of Daki, hope he can make it.

Mike number 2: Another Daki friend, another hopeful.

Sludig: Look forward to having the Ohio crew out

Toon: Ditto

Teja: Hope you make it! And bring 32 with you.

Dan Schrock: I am not sure who you are, but I look forward to playing with you anyway.

If I have missed anyone, please forward this email to them and let me know so I can add them to the list.

Ok, so that is who we have so far. I still have not received all the deposits, but I did front my own money to cover the deposit. If everyone shows up, and even brings someone along, we should be cool. Oh, and the more people we have, the cheaper it becomes. For 13 to 24 people it drops from $40 a person to $38, save $2, what a steal!

WARNING! I did talk to the field and they had to close Sunday and Monday due to flooding of the fields. We are supposed to have sunny days all the way through Saturday so we should be all right. Just in case though, everyone send me a cell phone, home number, or courier pigeon so that I can get a hold of you in case the field cannot be played on.

Any questions please email or call me anytime on my Cell.

See you Saturday!

IC
