Chicago Open - who's going, where you staying - prices

[Lohman446]

Just curious - thanks to a tip from Team Annex Team Iron Dragons is staying at the Days Inn in Lansing IL (about 20 miles away from Badlandz) - rooms were $50 a night when I reserved them and still available, though I was advised they will want a deposit due to issues in the past if you mention its for paintball. So I paid the deposit :dance:

:cheers: So, who all is going?

im hoping to be around on saterday or sunday... im about 45 mins away from the landz so its not to bad of a drive.

[skife]

me and pureevil were going to make a trip there, but he's having surgery on the 21st

we were just going to crash in my car or somthing in the parking lot.

[Gambit1106]

I'll be there and I should be staying at my house. Unless I find some way to really get my wife mad a me. (like watching paintball all weekend)

[tony3]

Look in the meet and greet forum, whoever wants too, we are going to hang out on friday, meet at the smart parts booth at 12.

[Potatoboy]

Are you guys talking about the Chicago PSP, or the Chicago open?

The PSP is next weekend, the Chicago Open isn't for a while.

I've seen a lot of people confusing the two.

There will be an AGD booth at Chicago PSP.

[tony3]

Really? That is awesome! We are talking about the PSP btw. Instead of 12 at the smart parts booth, lets meet at the AGD one.

[Gambit1106]

Then why do they say the PSP Chicago open? http://www.thebadlandz.com/sp_event.html

But yes there is also a Chicago open classic in August

[demonguy8]

Well.. I cant make it any day but sunday...
I was planning on getting to work the Pbgear booth on fri, but have a wedding to attend..
I'll be there for sun finals tho... :clap:

semi related topic: Am I the only one who thinks its a really really really dumb idea to REGRESS back to badlandz? Granted Rennick and crew are breaking themselves backwards tearing down the old hyperballs and making things nice for the airball fields... but cmon you drive down a one lane dirt road to get to the field (not that you can park at the field anywayz).... but honestly...its time to stop with bad venues.. I wonder what rennicks planning on doing for ridding the place of the horse *poop* smell. :rolleyes:


completely unrelated topic: New smilies ROCK!!! :headbang:

[tony3]

I agree completely. PSP said that maywood was too small for this years event, how about you just make it the same size as last year? Hell, get rid of 10 man completely. Maybe even 5 man, switch to all X-ball and get much more exposure at maywood. That would cost money though, and they lose money from the registrations from 10 and 5 man, plus theyd have to pay for maywood, badlandz is costing them next to nothing.

[jarley77]

so the agd booth will be at the chicago open?

[BD_Paintball]

yes there will be a agd booth there b/c i was at the agd store today and they will be there as far as i know. and the nppl one was at the race track last year and was free to get in!!

[madransom]

I plan on dropping in for a while just to spectate with a couple friends and pick up goodies. Speaking of goodies, what methods of payment is the AGD booth gonna accept? I don't think my wallet can handle carrying around that much green at a time :D Credit card transactions are way easier to handle, mentally.

[Potatoboy]

AGD accepts credit at events.

IIRC from last year, gotta charge tax on all transactions, because AGD is based in Illinois.
