AO SoCal. . . . .any interest in an AO day in the southland?

[Loguzzzzzz]

Posting up to see if there is any interest in an AO day in March.

This will basically replace the "CureBall" event. This is happening due to lack of time.

On to the information:
The date is Saturday March 16th. I was thinking either ASG, Pendleton or Jungle Island. It we have enough interest then we could set up a private game, if not we use our influence (RUDZ) at ASG and try to get our own ref.

The date is fairly set but the place is still open. Any ideas?

Here are some links for those not familiar with any of these places.

Action Star Games (http://www.actionstargames.com/)

Camp Pendleton (http://www.thepaintballpark.com/camp-pendelton/)

Jungle Island (http://www.jungle-island.com/)

Please post up your Feedback on this!

Thank you! :cheers:

:shooting:

man paintball jungle looks amazing.

[knownothingmags]

is pendleton the senario field? not the speed ball, are they by each other.

im interested for sure.

i dont know how to get to:

-jungle island
-ASG.

[Sea_Chip]

I'm in. Any of those places work for me!

[mixwell2]

im in for a March action...

Jungle or ASG would be good for me...sundays better too

[Loguzzzzzz]

...sundays better too
Saturday works better for me since I have to drive from NorCal and then home again. This is why I want to do a Saturday!

Hopefully you are OK with this.

[knownothingmags]

have we decided where we are playing?
im down for any of the 3 just need directions on them just so i dont get lost. :D

[keiko_819]

i may have to take the four hour drive if its on sat...never been to any of these places but just checking websites it seems that jungle island looks like it has the most diverse fields...are these parks 'bring your own paint'?

[river031403]

I vote jungle island

[knownothingmags]

ive been cronoing all the markers little by little in preparation for this.
im thinking of bringing out the collection.:shooting::shooting::shooting:

[Loguzzzzzz]

I vote jungle islandWhat He said!^^^^^

[d4m4don3]

I'm down with any of these fields.

[BEEFYDAN]

Would be my vote, if I didn't have a torn meniscus in my knee. CURSE MY FEEBLE BODY!!

[PumpMag]

I vote Jungle Island. Its a longer drive but really nice fields.

[Loguzzzzzz]

OK, Jungle Island is the place and March 16th is the date.

Everyone be sure to mark your calenders!

[knownothingmags]

that works for me.
where are we meating up at?
as a group and such.

it'll be cool to finally meet some of you guys.
lol

It's been a long time since I've been around these parts. AO is looking much different these days. Good to see some only names and that we have Avatars back after so many years. I think it's time for me to dust off my old gear and hit the field with some AO friends. Just need to ask the old lady and I should be good. What are we looking at for entry and is it BYOP? I'm living in Bakersfield these days so it will be a little bit of a drive, but after not playing for over 2 years I'm sure it's going to be well worth it. Need to start stretching now... :hail: :clap:

[SummaryJudgement]

Well, I love the idea, but don't have the ability (car and what-not) to just do whatever. Also, I don't know day by day how long I will be working for. It comes down to the needs of the project (I work in 3D visual effects/graphics), so I may have a last-second need to work on a Saturday. LzrSktr has been my personal driver to the last several AO events I have gone to. I never responded to his last PM (Sorry), but will see what's going on.

ALSO:

The Tax-Man Cometh And That Right-Soon...

I will have a nice sales-thread available soon, but I started a new job YESTERDAY :) So if I'm busy enough enough earning cash through work I doubt I'll put forth the effort to start a new one...

Good Luck Ballin'!

Do we have a head count yet and a meet up spot

[knownothingmags]

Do we have a head count yet and a meet up spot

ill be there, but this is my first meet so i dont know where to meet you guys.
, so this info would help me too.

[Sk8ermog]

Here is a Google sat view of the parking lot:

87565
https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&q=jungle+island+paintball&fb=1&gl=us&hq=jungle+island+paintball&cid=0,0,12102146421349473635&ei=Q_s2UeW0PKnlyQGlpIGwBg&ved=0CJgBEPwSMAA

Now I have never been to Jungle before so I don't know if this photo is current, but I was thinking it would be nice for us all to park in the same area like we have in the past. My suggestion is where I wrote AO GROUP on the map. Looks like it's just past a garbage area and the main parking lot. This seems like a good spot cause it's close to the main buildings, but far enough from the main parking lot so we have some privacy.

We should figure out if we are doing private group or walk on. There doesn't seem to be a price difference between the two if we have less then 15 players. The only advantage would be that we have a ref. I can't seem to find anything on the site about BYOP or field paint only. Anyone know? I'm coming alone and being dropped off by my wife so count me in on the roll call list.

knownothingmags: You shouldn't have a hard time finding us. Were a bunch of ugly old school paintballers that happen to love the best paintball guns of all time. Sadly, though, I'm mag-less right now :(

That photo and layout is pretty accurate. And JI is definetely BYOP. Just an FYI but there is also a group over on MCB that's also going on this day as well. Great group of guys. At this point though it might just be easier to keep it walk on and be done with it but I'll leave that up to John. IF we want to do a private game it might be worthwhile to get the MCB faction to join our group as well...

[Rudz]

See you guys soon

[Sk8ermog]

Speaking as an ex-private group ref I can say that being in a private group tends to be a much better option. We'd most likely be able to talk the ref into letting play with special rules like re-birth and hopper ball. There just seems to be a lot more options with a private group then not having one and we can always take off and play with walk ons if we want.

Who is taking point on this event here on AO? I'm willing to help any way I can.

[Loguzzzzzz]

At this point there is no one in charge. I was hoping to have a list of people. I guess i could edit the first post to show who is going to play.

put me down.

[river031403]

FYI the guys at MCB are playing walk ons same day same field

[keiko_819]

so me + 2 are planning on taking the drive, what kind of paint do they sell there? we will most likely be there for the weekend, anything around the area?

[Loguzzzzzz]

Updated original post.

Added a list, looks like we may have enough for a private group.

What do you guys think?

:cool:

[PumpMag]

For those not sure who to look for in the parking lot just keep an eye out for the Automags.org banner and BEO banner. That's where we be!

Loguzzzzzz, PM me your phone number, I got all our regular AO contingent phone numbers except yours. Thanks.

[knownothingmags]

got the guns runnin,
bringin some of the collection yippy, see you guys there.

[keiko_819]

so looks like were locked in now, we booked a hotel in Corona:headbang: though i was contemplating of getting it in Escondido to take a tour of my favorite brewery...Stone:cheers: haha! see you guys there

[BigEvil]

:(

'sigh'... maybe next year... Bet the weather is going to be nice to. Going to be effen raining here in NY.. :mad:

[Sk8ermog]

The wife is dropping me off so she can go see a friend while I play (it was the agreement I had to make so I could play ;) ) so I'm going to be without a car while we are playing. I don't know this field and I'm worried my gear cases will get stolen. Is anyone willing to let me latch my gear to your car? I'm planning to bring a bike lock for my 2 pelican cases. I have a 3rd case I'm looking to sell or trade. Any interest in me brining it? It's a Pelican 1620 case and looks like this:

you can latch it to my car no problem. just make sure you talk to me when you see me, im the guy with knownothingmags on the back of his jersey :D

[keiko_819]

Gonna take some goodies for trade...hope you all do too...:shooting::headbang:

[knownothingmags]

you know im bringin stuff.

[Sk8ermog]

I'm brining lots of misc gear in one of my cases that I'm going to be looking to trade. I'd love to pick up a mag or at least an RT valve to start with. I need to stock up on 5 hour energy :sleeping: since I get off work at 3am and plan to be on the road by 6am for the 2 hour drive. T-Minus 10 hours now. lol good thing I just checked cause I thought they opened at 8am when they really open at 9am.

knownothingmags: Thanks for the offer. I will take you up on that offer. I'll be the one without a car dragging around 2 pelican cases, camo duffle bag and a black back pack. I'm brining way too much gear, but I'm hoping to help any noobs out that might need an extra gun and gear.

[knownothingmags]

:shooting:thanks to everyone who showed up, i had a blast, my first time playing ball in about 2 1/2 years, and my first AO/BEO outing.
had fun traded some stuff learned some things and got shot.
