I gots a toy for you to play with Anyhoo, I am also pre reg'd. Warsaw Pact, Czech Paratroopers. Funny thing....I ordered an event shirt and registration. Then, the site forced me to select a shipping method. I did that and they tacked on $5-something. Then, they flashed "No registration material to be shipped", but left the charge on my card Maybe I'll be getting my shirt early? There was no way i could find to pre-pay for paint. I guess we buy that there? I reserved a 2 double-bed non-smoking suite at the Holiday Inn Express. $216.60 for Friday and Saturday nights (Total for both nights including all taxes). Usually these things include a couch with a fold-out bed. Maximum occupancy is 4. So, if anyone wants in, figure 1/4 of the total. If there are fewer than 4, no problem. Still 1/4 of the total, my treat. G

my new gun has been ordered.. and should be here later this week. got tired of lugging around a brick and got probably the lightest marker currently made that's not so over hyped, that the cost is astronomical.

Mine is good to go. I can also imagine a scenario where a band of Mexicans make a deal with the Warsaw pact to get their Texas back. ;D G

I have a very nice ICD Promaster if you need a lightweight to use!

My Dad has a Promaster too... And my Red Beret is still good to go. I'll wear that and my kilt.
Woody, you better gas that Promaster up and get your ass up here. THC reunion!
I'd be down with a Mexican Mafia reunion, but this isn't the field. I had enough people get pissed off at me for tucking a pistol in my belt, putting my jersey over it, then walking around picking up all the NERF rockets people were shooting. Once I got behind some of the other team, I dropped the bag of nerfs, pulled the pistol, and barrel tagged two dozen people.
Seriously, this one dude threw a punch at me. I didn't even barrel tag him. We was just mad because "That's not sportsmanlike". It probably didn't help I said "You're just mad because I barrel tagged more bitches than you ever have."
The Mexican Mafia bit would have to be within normal field rules. They do run Instant Reinsertion ALL game, and the Soviets have a spawn right on the main field. So we could dress up (I still have my sombrero), and just make charges against the other team.

I'll probably use my ule mag that's the lightest I have. Need to break out the scale and see what she weighs. So what did you buy?? I'm not up on all the new stuff like I was in the old days lol I'm guessing invert mini

I"m probably camping. I have a feeling I'll be to lazy to drive 30 or 40 minutes to a hotel plus I haven't camped in 4 years. I'm sure I'll regret it lol. My in laws said I can stay with them but I think they are 45 mins from the field. They live in Valdese.
So if you're camping pirate save me a spot please. Not positive if I'm coming up Friday or early Saturday.

The weight of my markers is not an issue. After all, I bench press sets of 180 lbs. My only concern is running out of air in a final battle because of the air pigishness of Tippmanns. What I've done before was to carry a 14oz CO2 cylinder with my pods. I'll need to buy a new one, but that should resolve my air issue. As I posted before, my hotel suite is available for anyone who wants in at $54 for both nights and $27 for one night. So far it's me and Vyo, but it can hold 2 more. They say it's about 20-25 minutes from the field and surrounded by eateries and drinkeries ;D Or just come and visit and clean up if yooz want to freeze your asses off camping. Still gonna set up a "camp" with pop-ups. Anyone know where our banner be? I'll be there early Friday afternoon. BTW, my event t-shirt arrived in the mail yesterday. Not bad for $10. G

Hey, who all wants dinner Saturday? I'm going to guess all of you, so I'm going to open the floor for suggestions. There's a good German place in Hickory, as well as some random chain places.
Or, you could have a damn Chef cook you dinner! Seriously, I can order stuff through work so it's a bit cheaper than the store (10lb pork loin for $25 anyone?).
Let me know in the next few days, I can order it a couple days before the game, do the prep work at home, and make cooking at the field easy (see: apply heat)
Mostly because unless everyone wants to drop some more serious cash, I'm not cooking shit to order... I got standards! Haha.

Gman still got a spot open in that hotel room? Still planning on going but it looks like I may need to borrow a gun and tank if the rest of my money doesn't hit. If the money does hit I plan on replacing my a-5 with a new one and getting a tank.

Well I'm hoping my money hits in time. I want to replace my old a5. Last time I used it it was leaking and multiple firing on it's own. So I'm just gonna get a new one and drop all my add ons on to it.
Picked up all my gear this past weekend from my folks so now it's time to start going through everything to see what I still have. It sucks there is no store near me so I can get a tank filled and see which of my other guns still work. 5 years is a long bloody time to let them sit and rot like that.
