SoCal AO SC Village!! Pic and story thread

[geekwarrior]

Alright, I only have a few minutes right now, but I thought I'd quick post the group shot. If you guys could pm me with who you are(I'm horrible with names) in the pic (ie front left) and I'll put your name by you. Also, if you want any of the pics i took, I can email them to you, just give me your email in the pm.

I will be posting more of the pics I got, just don't have the time to resize them/load them.


Big thanks to all you who drove out, I know for alot of you that was a long drive.

Big thanks to Piranti too, for grilling for us again, I know you missed a few games for it. Also to Shrub and dm4 for bringing/buying the food. :headbang:

more pics to come...trying to put together a little slideshow of them

[buzzboy]

I saw that table with guns on it and at first thought it was just a stack of A-Tach's X's. ;)

That looks sweet. I wish I could go to an AO thingy. But nobody loves me so it's all cool.

[A-Tach-One]

Man, what a blast to meet all of you and put some faces to your screen names. Sure wish my wife and I got there earlier but for the few hours we were there it was worth that drive! And my goodness, Cali sure has some beautiful mags. :headbang: Lets do this again guys.

[mag_lover05]

wow..all those mags on one team....must feel so good. i cant wait till AO tx. will someone have a good camera? mine is crappy.

[Arstron]

Nice shots, I wish we could get that many maggers at the AO:MO days. Its great seeing that many mags in one location and that banner looks great! ;)

[tesBEATSmag]

Drinks were a combination from everyone Lasrkstr, Piranti, Me, and a couple of others.

Tortilla's were courtesy of Lasrsktr

Carne Asada was from Shrub and I.

Someone brought chips.

I believe Road Dawg, Latches, and Pumpmag brought hotdogs and buns. But I think everyone gorged on the Carne Asada :D


And the atmosphere was pure AO =)
----------------------------------------------------
Caboose, Oem Petey, TesBeatsMag, Carbonblue, we're rolling down to your hood.

Work it out between u guys and lets setup for a memorable AO Socal Velocity :cheers:

[KingCocker]

Wow, its great to see all automag owners getting together to play paintball with their beloved markers. I wish Autocockers had a dedicated group like AO that would just do the same. For that, Thats why i decided to join automags.org because of the true friendships and devotions all have for the love of the sport. Hmmm... would'nt it be neat if we could somehow have an AO (Automag) vs. AO (Autococker) gathering and bring things back just like the early nineties? Anyways, hope to attend your AO games someday, who knows maybe I'll just have to buy an Automag too... :dance:

come on down to the next Socal AO meeting. Its going to be at velocity paintball park in ramona.

[geekwarrior]

If anyone wants a cd of the pics let me know. The ones here are the best ones of all those I took. The rest are variations of the ones shown, or a few that are farther away, a little blurry, or a blank shot(some of you guys were just to fast getting into the snake..lol) I only took pics 2 games, so I didnt get an action shot of everyone, sorry :(


I am out of town on business the next 3 days(If a trip too Vegas can be callled business :clap: ) When I come back I hope to put a slideshow together, and include more of the pics. If you want to wait to see the rest of the pics, or wait so I can include the slideshow, that'd prob be best.


Can't wait for the next AO day. Everyone was very cool and it was a great time. :headbang:

[SCpoloRicker]

*applause*

Triangle has been nagging me to come down for a day with y'all, starting to look more likely. :)

[gibby]

I see RoadDawg! Hehe! :D

[geekwarrior]

I see RoadDawg! Hehe! :D

yeah...i gotta put his name on there, just don't have photoshop on my comp at work. :cool:

[DaFin]

Wow, sorry I missed this one.. had baby duty.

Looking forward to the next one.

[Carbon Blue]

pm'd you with my addy! :D

[A-Tach-One]

Okay, Atach, must be stopped somewhere...

And now we find out that he has a hot *** wife, THAT PLAYS PAINTBALL.

/jealous
Lol Josh, now we're talking about flat out luck. Sometimes that can't be stopped.

[pbzmag]

Looks like you guys had alot of fun! Hopefully I can get out to the next meet. I would have gone but I was up in Tulare the prior week for an archery shoot and just plain to tired to wake up early again.

[A-Tach-One]

Question for those of you that have played with rudz before, is he always so reserved? Nothing like his online personality, lol. ;)




Rogue, Vegas! Who says I'm not there now? :D

the times I've played with him, yes.

Vegas? just got back from there yesterday.

[Triangle]

I wish that I could have gone :(

[A-Tach-One]

I wish that I could have gone :(
I wish you could have also. Have you got out to play at all lately?





geek, hope ya had a good time while you were there.

[Triangle]

geek, hope ya had a good time while you were there.

Due to real life being a dickhead, and alot of other things going down, i.e losing my job due to the company gonig out of business, my place to live due to a break up etc etc, I am everywhere and no where.

Things will get better and I will make it to the next AO day hopefully. Maybe with the legendary Dallara in tow.

Cash is tight at the moment, that's all.

[A-Tach-One]

Sounds like you could use one of these AO days. I hope you can get out to one and great choice on keeping that Dallara. ;)

[Triangle]

I really could.
Thanks, I just couldn't bring myself to sell it.
There is a lot planned for it, but I promised Coolhand I wouldn't tell anyone. (oops...)
So have you collected all of the Xmags yet, or are they a few that have yet to be assimilated?

[A-Tach-One]

Well I can't find them all, the ones out of the country are the most difficult to track down. :p I have resorted to finding XMags that were once parted and bringing them back to there original state.

[geekwarrior]

meh, it was alright, was out there for work, to see the World of Concrete and visit a vendor.

Had to go with a bunch of older guys almost twice my age, and salesman. Too many corny jokes and yulk yulks for me. :rolleyes:

At least the dinner was good, and all you can drink on someone's elses tab is always nice. :cheers:

[Rudz]

im not reserved, i was thinking..


how to break into atachs truck while no one saw me, so i dropped my halo, hence needed to go back to replace it, but you guys got back before i had time to get the truck opened...lol yeah sorry i took so long to show up here, teh intarwebs been down..

[Smoothice]

:d

[Sk8ermog]

Still can't believe I missed this one. Well I have some great connections now at SC Village so next time we want to do this then I'll pull some strings to see if I can get everyone in for $1. I've been going out there almost every week to take pictures for the new SC website I'm working on so I'd love to get some of you guys in on the pictures and video. Someone PM me next time the SoCal crew is going out.
