Shatner rides again

[Lupis Fidelis]

This past weekend at Splat Brothers Paintball in Hopewell VA. Pacman of MXS announced there will be a celebrity event in California this fall. He mentioned Tom Kaye and William Shatner. I was led to believe this would be the event you all have been waiting for.
:clap:

The press release has not happened but Pacman wanted to give the scoop to the MXS players.......... :ninja:


I might be wrong; but I heard what I heard! :argh:




PS if I'm wrong I truley appologise for getting anyones hopes up! :(

[Tina]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! I sooooo hope this is true!!!! I don't mind at all flying from east to west coast to play in Shatnerball again!!!

[MXS]

Yep! We've got a VERY cool field; we've got William Shatner and Tom Kaye onboard, and now we're putting together the information and promotional machine.

Stay tuned for the official announcement, and put September 17th on your calendar for Corona, California!
:clap:

I'm already checking flights and hotels! haahaa

[PirateGent]

Aw man - now I have to look into flights, hotel, rental car, how to get my gear there........

So when will we hear the "offical" word?

Won't be able to make a decision (about attending) until propably late Spring :(

NJ to CA and back but me a little rough on the wallet.

[Army]

[Rudz]

sc village? looked online and its not on the schedule....no event in so cal is...update your site...

[SpecialBlend2786]

Hey this might be one event that I can actually GO to :clap: :clap: :clap:

[RoadDawg]

I'll probably still miss it. :cry:

[RoadDawg]

It would be interesting to see how they play this out.

[kevdupuis]

I won't be going to this one, my plans are already made as to what I'll be attending this year with the exception of an AO day or two.

[AGDlover]

Depending on my scedual this year I may go.

[mobsterboy]

guess im ditching work....corona?? sc village?? tom kate? hell yeah ill be there..i dont care what kinda game it is...

who's tom kate?

[skriptal]

CAL, hmmm, a little to far for me, although i would love to go. School would just be starting back up for me at that time (senior year :woot:) , so that a most likely a no.

[Pickle]

Only one field in Corona....SC Village.

[Ken Majors]

Mary Kate and Ashleys brother... :rolleyes:

[deathstalker]

Ooh, this is going to take some planning. I've always counted on it taking place during the Labor Day holiday, so missing that extra day of travel limits my options. Maybe some of the locals can help us by letting us ship our gear to them.:)

[Carbon Blue]

i hope its in corona sc villiage! one of the best places ive played in!!!! Does anyone have any confirmed dates or any other info that would be helpful? Its the day right before my birthday too! :headbang:

[evildead420]

ah man, i hope this does happen, im soooo totally there :headbang:

[evildead420]

im there dude :dance: :cheers:

[d4m4don3]

:clap:
Sweet, I live 20 minutes away from SC village =P

[Pickle]

I have heard that it may not be SC. I guess we will have to wait and see.

[p8ntball72]

one day event or two?
Sep. 17th is a Sunday, so I'd assume its a 12 hour Scenario.

Southwest Voodoo always Stays at the Ontario airport Hilton when we Play S.C. Village. Anyone want to get a Block of rooms IF* MXS makes this offical?

[p8ntball72]

I have heard that it may not be SC. I guess we will have to wait and see.


It cant be at Jungle Island.... Can it?

[FreakBaller12]

Mary Kate and Ashleys brother... :rolleyes:
wouldn't that be tom olsen :tard:

[Pickle]

It cant be at Jungle Island.... Can it?


Officially Jungle Island is in Lake Elsinore. I have seen people place it in Corona in the past but that is a bitt off base. I used to live in the homes adjacent to JI (Horsethief Canyon) and their address is Corona (92883). But that was done just for housing pricing purposes. Homes in Corona are worth more than Lake Elsinore. The school in that housing tract is in the Lake Elsinore Unified District. So.....to make a shoart answer long......could be. :D

My team is sponsored by JI so I guess I will be making a phone call. :) If I get an answer and permission, I will let you know.

[p8ntball72]

Tina,
Any info on Bill's boards?

[Tina]

I've been checking flights from Pa to Ca. It's cheaper for me to go to LAX instead of COL airport..you may want to look into that. Then it's an hour drive to Corona.

[Pickle]

I've been checking flights from Pa to Ca. It's cheaper for me to go to LAX instead of COL airport..you may want to look into that. Then it's an hour drive to Corona.

Fly into Ontario (ONT) it is the closest too. Lax is an hour on a VERY good day. Don't do it. LAX sucks more than I can possibly say. Where is COL? Another consideration is Orange County (SNA). It will cost a little more but it is still better than LAX. Also look at San Diego. About 1.5 hours but an easy fly into airport. LAX is a last resort.

There's Ontario airport, thats about 15 minutes from corona.

Forgive me..I meant to say ONT, not COL. You're right though..I was in LA last year and flew in and out of LAX. The took my cigarette lighter. ::pouts:: But it's a HUGE HUGE airport. What I was hoping for though, was a non-stop flight, but there aren't any into ONT for me. I can have a layover anywhere from Houston to Chicago to Vegas. Anyone want to go gamble with me for a couple hours before the flight????

[Pickle]

What I was hoping for though, was a non-stop flight,


Look into Orange County/John Wayne Airport (SNA)

[Pickle]

Look into Orange County/John Wayne Airport (SNA)

I forgot, look into flying into Long Beach. I haven't done it but I have heard good things.

[Carbon Blue]

wouldn't that be tom olsen :tard:
:p

[SCpoloRicker]

If someone crops those black bars, you will be my internet hero for all next week.

/Shatner's newish album is actually pretty good
//KKKHHHHAAAANNNNN!!!

***Back to Topic***

Out with it Tom, Don't keep us waiting... Is it True.

Shatner 06 a reality? :bounce:

[FinchMan]

another Shatnerball, and its in California. Badass!!!

[AGD]

YEP ITS TRUE!!!!!

We are going to Jungle Island and using ALL THE ARMY VEHICLES!!! Check out their website to see all the cool toys with WORKING paintball guns retrofitted into the military guns. They only let the whole pack out for movies but we have them under contract to make this a blow out event.

We will be inviting other celebrities besides Shatner and depending on if they come or not I may or may not be heading up a team. Who knows, maybe Bill and I will team up to battle ???.

If you were there years ago for the Budd vs Tom game you know that the place is an all out fire fight. Flatlands and hills, trenches and ravines. Come prepared to shoot TONS of paint in the target rich environment.

We are working on a plan to let early registration determine if you can get into a vehicle or not. The final battle promises to be an "out of the dust and haze a line of tanks appeared" sight and experience to remember.

We are now in the process of updating the celebritypaintball.com website so spread the work and put it on the calendar!!

Tom "already kicked Shatners ***" Kaye

Hey Pickle,

Bad Karma said there is a hotel/casino right down the road from JI in Elsinore...

[SkyBoySurfer]

[Tina]

Nope, no info. I'm assuming Bill's waiting for it to be "set in stone".

[Tina]

There are a few. Lodging will be scarce for this type of event. I will post up hotel info for all of you next week.

[SkyBoySurfer]

let me know!

[Krusty-PCP]

Then again, there's always Pechanga Casino about 15 miles South ... Much bigger Casino ... That's where you'll probably find me the night before ;)

http://www.pechanga.com/home.asp

[p8ntball72]

I would Highly recommend the AYRES SUITES CORONA WEST.

Very Clean, Easy Highway accecibility, Denny's across the street, and right next store to CC Paintball... a marvelous little shop with loads of last minute goodies.

Our team has stayed there twice and had great fun both times.
With this being a *possible* one day event I think our team will stay closer to Ontario.
having an "open" Saturday will pry spend it at Dave & Busters "Mech Wars" :shooting:

Unless there is an AO meet involving Donuts :ninja:

[Pickle]

Seems Krusty has done the work for me. I was going to check ou tthe rooms but that will work quite well.

Having stayed at Pechanga I can say that the rooms are very very nice. They are also pricey!

[Strider]

Nice to see it back on. :)


"Total Est. Time: 41 hours, 19 minutes Total Est. Distance: 2759.09 miles"

Yowsers! I don't think I'll be there. :p

[AGD]

Guys lets let this thread die and move the important info over to the official thread.

THanks

AGD

[MoeMag]

Can we still post the not so important info in this one? :D

I was wondering, as much as this seems like a huge AO party… Who else will show up? I really don’t know because I wasn’t online when the other events occurred.

[Tina]

Total Est. Time: 37 hours, 14 minutes Total Est. Distance: 2502.52 miles


haahaahaa Good thing I like to fly!

[PirateGent]

All of the above!!

Why am I not surprised. Wife and I are looking into arrangements. Will keep you updated (and maybe send you the little boy's latest picture) :)

[Daeorn]

Hah, PG, maybe I can tag a long with ya ;) I've been waiting years for another one of these, I think I'll have to sell a marker or two for airfare... but it'll be worth it!

Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man.
