Myself and the team shall be there. We will be going there on Saturday. That's the day we will have the AO Day and raffle off the prizes. (Jon is bringing some goodies from AGD again!)

Maybe we will also have a donut orgy for AO'ers? Can't have a BBQ because it's indoors. We shall see. :)

Hope to see you all there, more details to follow.

Only on a paintball site would this not be taken out of context :p

10-03-2002, 11:37 AM

Seeing as how this will be my first Donut Orgy, what kind of donuts are usually required. Do we use Dunkin Donuts (Yuck!!!) of Krispy Kreams (Yuummmmm).

Ogre

10-03-2002, 11:42 AM

I am a bit worried as to the size of this event. As I stated in a past post, I have played this field and being indoors there is enough room for maybe 100 ppl in the rest area. With Rocky C. coming down the turnout may be just too huge.

I am worried about the abundance of bodies in a limited space.

They have a pretty big parking lot and two huge doors (this place is a converted warehouse) so I guess they will open the place up and people will just be hangin' in the parking lot.

On the plus side, being that it is in the middle of a large suburban area we can all just find a local diner and take it over. That would be a hoot.

i went the paintball arena about two weeks ago. its part of island paintball supplies which is basically run by the team NY Dogs. the field still has that "new place" smell, carpeting is still clean and wall's aren't all marked up with paint. above all the NY Dogs are really nice guys and service is friendly. i may be there sunday depending on my work schedule, if i do go i'll bring cookies.

Got some info from a friend of mine.

If you are coming from Jersey, give yourself at least 2 hours to get to the Arena. With construction and what not, it will make travel pretty nasty.

I live in central Jersey, and mapquest is quoting an hour and 40 minute transit time. I'm leaving at 5:30 just in case. Give you any ideas?

Be safe, drive safe and see you all there!

Thordic

10-11-2002, 02:53 PM

Yeah, anyone driving there from jersey who doesn't know the traffic around there, prepare for a beast :)

Anyway, reminder:

DO NOT WEAR CLEATS!!!

Its an indoor field, remember? Cleat's will make you fall down all over. Wear turf cleats or sneakers.
