To all..

Thanks for braving the crappy weather. As always, it was a blast hanging out with fellow AO'ers. It was weird to not be the only one using a warpfeed for once :headbang:

My vote for AONJ5-MVP is without a doubt Big n'slo for his clutch preformance behind the grill. Thanks again bro....... the hot grub was greatly appreciated :D

I only took a couple of pics. I know Creative Mahem took a bunch more, hopefully he will post them up soon.


Also, thanks to Chris and Harry at Ruckus Paintball in West Milford for the hospitality (and the fire)

A few people mentioned doing this again in the Springtime, so lets make it happen come April or May.


Thanks again to all

-Scott

Man looks like it was a fun event. I was planning on coming to this even saved up for it for a few weeks. Then my transmission in my car decided to take a dump on me. Hope a good time was had by all and sorry I didnt' make it.

sorry I couldn't make it, my gun didn't come in on time and my friend's is broken. My parents couldn't justify getting sick while playing paintball :rolleyes:
I'll be there for sure in the spring, I'll have my license :clap:

Blah blah blah, I expect to hear lots of excuses. At least half the people who were supposed to come never showed up. Grow a pair and brave the cold.

Anyway, huge thanks to BigEvil for setting this event up, and to BigNSlo for the burgers, they were lifesavers.

Thanks to Mayhem, OS, rkjunior, de9, and frischtr for driving in from out-of-state to attend.

I was planning on taking pictures, but the rain intefered with that. I tried bagging up the camera but I didn't want to risk it, I need to get a waterproof case or something.

Anyway, I think everyone had fun even though the weather didn't cooperate.

Hopefully in the spring we can get some more people out.

Thanks to everyone who showed up. A big thanks to bigevil for seeting it up, and big n slo for the food, and beer (which I didnt have, still nursing the hangover from the night before).
Thor, thanks for putting up the m******* contingent and the illegal alien for the weekend. NYC was a great time...and, the poutines hit the spot :).
For all that said they'd show, and didnt, shame on you. Mayhem drove 7 hrs, and me and RK drove...well, the trip shouldve been 4 hrs....but I broke the land speed record. We all braved the elements...you guys all should have come down.

Despite the weather, it seems that we all had a great time...

Thanks to Big'n'slo for the burgers and dogs... :hail:

Looking forward to see Mayhem's pics... Hope to see you guys next time, and maybe I can get an AO-MD together in the spring... I'll plan for a place within 3 hrs of NYC...

8:30ish in the A.M.
I believe the consensus at this time was to find a bottle to hide in till the rain stopped.

Thanks to Big E for setting the whole thing up and to the Ruckus guys for letting us take over for the day.

Great to meet Mayhem, OS, rkjunior, thor, and frischtr
And good to see de9 and govnamac again.

Made it back to the better end of Jersey around 8pm.

//30 degree water made the air feel warm

Well after a long wet and cold weekend I am home relaxing and gaining my strength and warmth back(mental note: remind me not to go to AO events planed by BigEvil ;) )

Glad to play some ball with some good friends and good to meet some new ones. Finally got a chance to head into NYC, good time was had, a few beverages were consumed, drunk calls made and pics taken by shakey/wobbly drunks are on the camera, got a speeding ticket on the way home, got stopped uneventfully at the border on the way home. All in all a good weekend.

Thanks to BigEvil for organizing this even though it was raining, Thordic for giving me a place to crash, BignSlo for the grub lunch and Guinness after playing(nothing like liquid snacks:D)

To all of you people that didn't show up.... YOU SUCK... especially those locals, you missed a good time. I am glad I made the 7hr drive and braved the rain.

I will have a gallery up tommorrow, I want to see Govnamac's pics as well.

Thanks again to all for the good time!

Next time I will consult the Farmers Almanac to check when monsoon season is over before I plan something.....

Also next time, maybe we can get everyone in a on Friday night and hit Hoboken, find cheap women and expensive booze, then stagger our way to the fields on Saturday.


BTW CM, Ive been checking out Thordics sight. You are right. :D

The law of stomachs and photographs states that your stomach will always be at full extension at the exact time the shutter opens on any nearby camera.

Sorry, but you can't argue with the laws of nature.

We were seeing an irish band, Black47, and I was yelling "yeeeeeeeeooooooo" or however you would phonetically describe the hooting and hollering that was going on.

I was largely responsible for the blurry pics on mayhems camera. Dont give a drunk a camera!!!


BTW...whats the name of the bar? Canolis? ;)
