The AO Army Living Legends Museum

[BTAutoMag]

I just got off the phone with Sean @CPX

The museum will be in a 20x30 tent with grid walls and tables. A small area of the back of the booth will be a VIP area for Legends only so that they can get away from the crowd and stage in private. that leaves a 20x20 area for the museum and I guarantee it will be filled to the brim.

Not only that but I spoke with Josh at J4 paintball and they will be bringing a shooting booth that we will be putting next to the museum so that people can shoot a couple choice old school guns.

All of this is being provided to us and I cannot be more happy with the outpouring of support I am getting from the paintball world. This whole endeavor has become a very positive and nerve racking experience for me.

I have to thank alot of people for this and there will be a list when all this is said and done if I live through it:eek:



This... Is... Happening....

Edit**

to make this easier on ALL OF US there is now a registration system in place to make sure the items that you bring for the museum get back to you in the most efficient way possible

Dude you have gone above and beyond for this entire AO army venture. Hats off to BTAutoMag

[BTAutoMag]

You dont know what above an beyond is until you see what shows up at the booth...

Will a Mr. Orr be shooting an automag??? Is he bringing goodies to show off?

[BTAutoMag]

Yes he is. I'll make sure Sniper #1 is there if it kills me

[bbotts77]

I really can't wait.

[Andrum85]

I'm sure glad I decided to come. Sounds like it is going to be amazing

[knownothingmags]

sounds like it will be epic. too bad I cant make it.

[BTAutoMag]

At least your tripple will be there ;)

[Bunny]

Just stickied the thread.... :D We can make this the "official" thread. I'll try to itemize what i'm bringing and post it up. I can start drafting up the name plate stuff when I get some free time. If anyone is interested and bringing something to the museum please post up a picture of a description of what it is and I can make a name plate for you.

Keep working your magic BT!! :cheers:

I'm going to be doing toe tags for the most part.

[BigEvil]

We need to tag every item that is on display and keep a ledger of everything.

[BTAutoMag]

I plan on keeping a list of everything that comes in. hopfully I'll be talking with a few photographers to get pictures of each item

Thanks, Bunny. I'll have to do a little more research on my Rapide and my HyPerMag.

[vintage]

I can bring my SL 68 II

[Dayspring]

If it didn't cost a fortune to ship, I'd get my buddy's double barreled, box fed Tippmann A5.

[vintage]

i've got a mint in the box F2 Illustrator and a JT Crossfire mask i can bring as well.

[vintage]

let me know what if anything you want me to bring.

[BTAutoMag]

Bring what you feel comfortable bringing

[vintage]

it may boil down to how much room I have in the car.:D

[BTAutoMag]

That's ok.

[vintage]

I had a thought, we need a large screen tv and video and show some of the old mag vs cocker tournament footage.

[BTAutoMag]

have it play some fred shultz "the fun of paintball" footage

[Justus]

A projector would be easier to handle, but if it's too bright outside it would be hard to see.

[vintage]

something for cpx to supply

[bbotts77]

I have a projector and laptop and/or DVD player that I would be willing to bring. I don't have a screen or a generator to power them, though. If our tent has white walls, a screen shouldn't really be a problem. We can just project on one of the inside walls.
Did I say inside walls?:confused:

Zac, will our tent have power? If it will, we won't have a problem.

[BTAutoMag]

I will have to check but just assume for the time being that it's a no

[Pyrate Jim]

I want in on this.

[BTAutoMag]

absolutly!

[RT Lover]

U the man by! Any word on tk coming!?

TK has been invited to Beijing to study a dino in may. He's not quite sure when in may this is yet.

That Dino hasnt gone anywhere in 100 million years. It can wait a couple more weeks.

[BigEvil]

I agree :)

Do we need to start an email campaign? They are very effective when it comes to politicians.

Maybe we should bury an old pb gun somewhere and let him dig it up :)

[Justus]

An online petition should get it done. Those always work. You can even spread them on facebook, right?

[Dayspring]

Anybody remember this book? You're welcome to use it at the museum.

[Justus]

Only if the toes come with it.

[Dayspring]

Only if the toes come with it.

They will. :)

[Bunny]

Nice work BT. I just saw that NIB Predator cocker that was posted on PBN. I love the fact that it will be shown at the "Paintball Museum" sponsored by the AO Army :D

[BigEvil]

Hey instead of auctioning off that cocker, how about talking them into doing a $20x ticket raffle? I bet they would raise more $$$ and I would have a better chance of taking it home! :)

[BigEvil]

WOW the bidding on that NIB Predator cocker is up over $3300 now!

[Bunny]

What is strange is that we still have a month worth of bidding. Since it is going to charity the skies should be the limit. I have heard Marcus Davis will be donating his team captain cocker to charity as well later this year. That is the one I would be interested in..... if I was an autococker collector :D

[Dayspring]

$3700 as of this morning.

[BTAutoMag]

Just so you know... That cocker is not the only Gem that will be going up for auction... Wait for it...

[Miggosis]

Do you have a list of criteria for things for the museum? Are you just looking for old markers and unique ones? I have a SMG60 and a couple AT85s I could bring.

[BTAutoMag]

Bring em

[Bunny]

I'm packed and ready to go. I have about 23-24 guns to bring. I made some "AO inspired labels" to go along with my guns for people who don't know what they are. I'm also printing out some pictures to go along with the history as well. I based my idea off of Shocktech's traveling musuem...

I can be there around 5ish on Friday to help set-up.
