TK is going to be there? REALLY? Does Tunaman know?

See below:

I talked with Tuna on the phone today. He sounded in good spirits and was feeling much better. He said the cancer was stage 2 which meant it was very treatable and in the lower part of his esophagus which was much more operable than the upper area.

I promised him that if he pulled through I would be at the next Tuna Ball. He said he would hold me to that so now I am making it public. I told him he was just getting all the crap out of the way at one time and he laughed.

Beat the hell out of it Tuna!!

Pull through man. You don't know me, but I know you. You're a lynchpin in this community.

questions,

-how much paint would a person shoot? i know its a broad question but i was wondering.

depends on what you are shooting, how fast you want to shoot and how much you play.

-cost of paint?

we will find out when we get closer to the event, but figure $60 a case

-how much for a spot in a cabin?

the cabins are still up in question. we are having trouble getting them, but will announce when we get an idea of the costs and availability.

-things start noonish on friday meet n greet wise?

we meet up at the field, so you can take care of the registering, any air or teching you want to do before hand and just hang out before we get settled in. its not mandatory, but its the easiest place to meet up, since that is where all the business is going to happen.

-remove regs from the tanks and things should be good for flying? and seran wrap the opening of the tanks?

contact the TSA and tell them exactly what you have and how to handle it. the TSA has had many paintballers fly, so they know exactly what you need to do and how to handle it. you should never second guess the TSA, since they are the only word on if you want to travel with your stuff on the plane. conversely, you could mail it to the field and have it waiting for you. we can get a hold of the field and let them know that you are shipping to them.

-recommend getting tsa locks?

that is up to the TSA, again. contact them BEFORE flying and see what they require.

-is it stupid to bring the whole mag collection for the grass pic?

that is up to you. the judges are a weird bunch and their picks run the gambit of everything. so that depends on what you want to fly with/ship and what you want to play with during the game. you can bring anything you want, but can only wish for something left behind.

anything im missing?

don't know other than secure a bed, car, plane tickets, money for food, the game and anything else you could want.

HAD. Past tense. The Tuna has already beaten this.

BigE: Any news on cabins? I'm still looking to book one for the trip.

Yes, and its not good.

What we got is already filled up, which isnt a lot - but it at least makes my life easier to plan Friday and Saturday nights activities which I will explain later.

For you guys that need lodging, the nearest and cheapest hotel is 1/2 hr from Topgun and an easy drive to Hightstown. It's technically East Windsor, but for all intents and purposes its the Hightstown Exit 8 off the NJ turnpike.

The contact info is: DAYS INN EAST WINDSOR 609-448-3200

Find a room mate to split the room with you and book one. IF more cabins become available, you can cancel your reservation up to almost the last minute.

[Nobody]

make sure that you get a verbal confirmation on if its the East Windsor hotel. the year before, i went through the website and my reservation said for Wisconsin. so double check or you'll be pulling out hair wanting a room that is in another state.

You know I'll be there! and if the $6,000,00 fish needs software I'll program the crap out of it.

Yea.... trying to book something now.... I can't believe tunaball has book TWO entire hotels for the event. I also checked Hampton Inn and it is also full.

[jvaughn212]

We ended up getting a room at the Candlewood Suites. Everything I tried to book in the Hightstown area was full last week.

[BigEvil]

The Radisson in Freehold is 17 minutes from Topgun. Try there guys.

JVaughn212, glad you got a room :)

I don't know if this is just a busy time of the year or if there is something big going on in the area.

Info has it that there's a horse race, a graduation, and a big soccer game -that's why everything is booked
