Ok, it's that time again. So far we've had AO meets in Fort Worth and Austin. This Time we're bouncing over to our friends in Houston. Next one will be in Dallas(dont worry, we're trying to be fair so everyone can have one close to home).

This time it looks like it's going to be at PaintballUSA, they are offering $12 fee,air,BYOP. goto www.lonestarpaintball.com to get field info, maps, and of course waivers. Thanks to our Houston buddy Nicad for talking to them, I also hear they will have Supair for us(to be confirmed).

Remember the rules, refer to this post for the latest info, it will constantly be updated. Don't forget the important things like - maps, chairs, masks for ppl who will be watching, signed waivers if your under 18, and barrel condoms. Plus this time we will have some sort of name tags to help break the ice between AO'ers who havent met.:)

**FINAL DATE is Sat. Dec. the 14th.** Post how many people you will be bringing. Let's try and keep this organized so it'll be a great turnout like the Austin meet.

Let us know if you need a ride hopefully someone coming from your area will have room. We'll find out about food.

post if you are going so we have an accurate list. dont just show up(you know who you are:p :p
Here's the list(which better be growing daily;))

Im there maybe can bring along 3 or 4 friends. But yes I can come just as long as its not the last weekend. I'll see if how many of my friends can come along but I need a date because some might be busy.

midknight

11-17-2002, 07:15 PM

i am impartial on the date
note: paintballusa does not allow barrel plugs only barrel condoms ... they let me put a deposit down when i didnt have one and let me get my deposit at the end of the day ...they can sell you a barrel condom also ... but we cant be sure if they would have enough for everyone that needs one...so just to make sure you are not sitting out just b/c you dont have a barrel condom come prepared

Marek

11-17-2002, 10:16 PM

14th would be better, earlier would be best.....

Ok, a bunch of people have been dying for this meet to happen but timing seems to be off. Would it be better to have it in Jan.?

langrage

11-18-2002, 12:32 AM

Makes no difference to me if in Jan or Dec. Dec would be cool i could go buy green paint and decorate yall like trees:D

Havoc_online

11-18-2002, 12:35 AM

HaHa, and the trash talking begins:p

We'll see how it goes:cool::p

BTW, Clare and I will be at petty's this weekend for the birthday party too!

WhyIsItUpsideDown?

11-18-2002, 04:24 PM

What about the 7th?

Clare

11-18-2002, 05:12 PM

I would rather have it sometime in December (the earlier the better) than January. :)

nicad

11-18-2002, 05:15 PM

I have a tourney on sunday the 8th.. but should be free on the 7th.. as well as the 14th.

waiting for an email back about the airball setup.

out!

irs709

11-18-2002, 05:42 PM

the earlyer the better for me too.+ i have a big game at constant action to go to in jan.

OldSchoolMag

11-18-2002, 06:13 PM

I'll be there, rockin' the RT Pro!

You probably shouldn't have it on the 7th or 8th, though.
The 7th is a small Toys for Tots scenario at Brazos Splat Games (you wouldn't want to take toys - WOULD YOU?) and the 8th is the Houston Rookie League 3 man tournament at Tank's Paintball. Any other date would be fine for me, though (December OR January - though January would be better - new toys!).

Hope to see all of you there!

Clare

11-19-2002, 04:15 PM

anyone else? :)

scarpa43

11-19-2002, 04:59 PM

I can be there, seeing as I am a head ref at Paintball USA.

I am glad someone pointed out the big game on the 7th, that will be pulling alot of staff away from the field.
I would definatly go for the 14th if you can.

Also, we typically carry Nelson paint (Nelsplat and Challenger), I can probably arrange for Anarchy to be there if we know it will be bought.

If anyone has questions about the field let me know.

OldSchoolMag

11-19-2002, 05:21 PM

So it is or is not going to be "Bring your own paint"?
Or will we have the option?

OSM

scarpa43

11-19-2002, 05:36 PM

We allow outside paint, we just ask that it does not have a red fill. Looks too much like blood and freaks out the refs.

You can bring whatever you want: food, drinks, paint...

And if you do not like hotdogs and frito pies, bring your own food. We stock plenty of drinks (water, gatorade, sodas)

Great! thanks for the info. Now, how bout some supair;). Nicad is awaiting word by email, maybe you could tell us.

hey hey scarpa43..

just a nother wast of space on teh net

scarpa43

11-20-2002, 09:34 AM

I will get in touch with the field owners today and push for an air-ball field to be set up.
I will let everyone know what I find out.

Darren

scarpa43

11-20-2002, 10:11 AM

OK, here is the latest.

Paintball USA does not have access to an air-ball field right now. However the owners are going to try to get one out there.

Whoever is organizing this (Havoc?), please call Darrell at 281-728-6670. He is one of the field owners and will work with you on details.

I am thinking you have been trading emails with his brother Royce (co-owner).

CRiZO

11-20-2002, 07:13 PM

I'm going? Cool. Houston is a long ways away... might have to post up for the night. I suppose I'll drag spoons along, I guess he likes paintball or something like that. As for now, I'm gonna go see Jackass. SOmeone PM me or something when you get the date goin and stuff.

One Wooden Spoon

11-20-2002, 10:47 PM

Get me to go!?! Psh, like I'd ever play paintball with the likes of you.. *cough* I'll be there, and with my new little digital camcorder (yes, the video footage from last time failed to get put together, but we can colaborate all of the meets until we have enough to make a decent video). See you peeps at the field.

11-20-2002, 11:05 PM

Let me know if I can help here in Houston.

money is looking kinda scarce, well have to see. may not make it! go on with out me!!(done with my best cptn. kirk immitation)

Clare

11-21-2002, 05:48 PM

rjvemt1, if you need a ride from Austin then we can pitch in for gas and would be cheaper

Riotz

11-21-2002, 06:07 PM

I need a ride from NJ. Anyone wanna chip in for MY gas? :D

If I only had some cash and a hybrid car. I would drive to the Flordia meet to the Houston meet and then to the LA Meet. I already have relatives in each city. So places to stay wouldn't be a problem.

SI|ENT|3O|3

11-21-2002, 07:06 PM

capo, if rjvemt1 went w/u and curtis, me and my lil bro(irs709) could pitch in some money for gas also. just an idea...but it may be a little to crouded.

11-21-2002, 07:14 PM

We'll see how things go. I might already have somewhat of a full truck but depending on the date this meet goes down, some slots may open up.:)

rjvemt1

11-22-2002, 11:06 PM

thaks capo, we'll have to see what happens on my end. tuition, books and such. i think langrage probably wants to even the score (rjv-2, langrage-o). maybe i can get hin to pay my field fee;)

Won Hunglo

11-22-2002, 11:30 PM

I will be there. I live in Pollution, I mean Houston.

Havoc_online

11-23-2002, 12:39 AM

I went over the thread and counted what I could and came up with this. The count does not include friends/family/teammates that did not post.

dec. 7---------------- 3 - field has a big game that day
dec. 14-------------- 7
dec. 21-------------- too close to christmas
jan.------------------ 3
not specified ------- 2
anytime ------------ 10

The day has been narrowed down to Saturday Dec 14th. So far the count is 17(more like 30+ if you count teammates,etc.).

This date will be final unless everyone dramatically decides for Jan. If this is the case, we need to know NOW before final plans are made. Personally, I think the sooner the better.:)

midknight

11-23-2002, 01:02 AM

changeing vote from impartial to dec. 14
i know two other mags two other mags that can go the 14 so that is going to be my vote also

midknight

11-23-2002, 01:08 AM

hell if some people can only go in jan. then i am down for going two months in a row ... the more the better ... but i guess we can take it one month at a time ... just need everyone to vote so we can resolve this and so people can start making plans

nicad

11-23-2002, 04:26 AM

lets nail down for the 14th.

Clare

11-23-2002, 04:30 AM

I vote for the 14th as well :)

rjvemt1 i think langrage probably wants to even the score (rjv-2, langrage-o). maybe i can get hin to pay my field fee

Yeah you would be a lot better if you didn't shoot your teamates. Nothing like getting the bonus ball from your own team:rolleyes:

vf-xx

11-24-2002, 01:52 AM

Well I can go the 14 if I can make some money, so here i go.

If you're in the DFW area i can give up to 3 people a ride (maybe more If i can swing borrowing my parent's mini van). I'll need rider's to cover gas, and a little extra to help me cover the costs of the event.

PM me if interested

rjvemt1

11-24-2002, 12:48 PM

hey now, that was an honest mistake:D

i'll go since i live in houston, but only if i dont have any hockey stuff on that day

I just received word today that I will be having team practice in Florida that weekend of the 14th so it looks like I may not be able to go. :( :(

wait a minute! who says you're the official invitation guy? That's right, no one! :p :D

nicad

11-27-2002, 05:23 PM

well.. your bailing out on us, so i might as well uninvite you to keep it even. :-p

or something.
actually tell the weirdos in florida that you have a very important previous engagement, and that they should re-schedule around you.. and stuff.

out!

Clare

11-27-2002, 05:53 PM

I'm not purposely bailing, ofcourse. We have one weekend practice a month so I pretty much have to be there.

11-27-2002, 06:19 PM

Wow, if Capo doesn't come than who will make sure Havoc isn't going to get shot up. I wonder how well he'll do with his bodyguard gone :rolleyes:

OldSchoolMag

11-28-2002, 03:55 AM

Why don't we just switch the date? That way, it'd work out better for everyone? Try the 15th, or something. Cap's a huge draw, plus, I've yet to see an Xtreme in person, and the Hello Kitty Mag is like the holy grail of Mags:D :D :D

Hope it all works out.

11-28-2002, 12:40 PM

i vote to have it on the 7th, i'll be in austin on the 14th, maybe i'll play at petty's then. Just an idea. I think we have narrowed it down between the 7th and 14th, so maybe we can vote again since plans might have changed for others also.

Justin C

Havoc_online

11-28-2002, 01:36 PM

I'd still go on the 14th, so I can show langrage how much I need a bodyguard:p. Clare would still be in Fl on the 15th and the field is having a big game on the 7th so they can't cover two big groups. We can either still go for the 14th, or do it in Jan. Let the voting begin, again.:D

irs709

11-28-2002, 01:51 PM

i dont care just as long as we play... i still want to play on the 14th but if we play in jan that would be fine because we will have all our x-mas stuff....dye02 jersy, dye core gloves and smart parts pants... it will be cool but what ever is good w/ me... preferably the 14th...

actually, post-christmas would actually be good, cause then everyone would have new toys to show off... but then again, waiting to play again with yall sucks. Plus if Clare isn't there, neither is CRiZO, lol. J/K although she'd be about the only person I'd know there other than Curtis

Daroach

12-01-2002, 12:06 PM

Alright alright, y'all need to get y'all act together and let me know WHEN your having this meeting. I personally don't care when it is, i WILL be there, but it would be nice to know when cause i have to send me gun in for a hammer/lug problem, altho it can wait till after this meeting.

just quit being panzy's and make a date.

Im with Daroach. we should try and nail down some sort of date. I know some of yall are hoping santa brings you stuff like a warp or maybe a new gun. Heck some of you should ask santa for some skill.:D I am sure there will be another TX meet again next year so you can bring your new toys then.

12-02-2002, 06:07 PM

ok, here's the deal. Everyone msg's me and tells me the sooner the better, then the next day they say Jan. is better and so on and so on.

The FINAL DATE is Dec. the 14th. If you can make it, great. If not, don't worry- this won't be the last one there.

Clare WILL be coming, her practice was delayed till Jan.(just found out today)

So get your gear ready, we party in 12 days;).

you should hold more of these things here in houston, we have soooo many paintball fields and players, i dont know about dallas or san antonio but i assume we have more, am i wrong?

Psytherium

12-02-2002, 08:47 PM

I might be there. Depends on my money situation I suppose. I just ordered my gun last night, so not sure when it'll be in. If it's in this week I'll be able to test it out, get to know it and all =) Then I'll be ready for the 14th :D

*edit - AO days are usually from open to close:)

Clare

12-03-2002, 11:12 AM

We should probably have those stick-on name tags...it was sort of difficult to place faces to AO names at the Austin AO meet. Ofcourse, that all depends on how many people will show up. :)

Bob Mundon

12-03-2002, 05:51 PM

we should use our real names, cause its kind of weird in teh expreiences i have had calling them by their internet names

is it 12 bucks for everything? just wondering... but consider me bringing Spoons and a new guy. So thats three from The Colony.

Oh, and is anyone from Houston gonna show us a good place to raid and eat?

OldSchoolMag

12-04-2002, 07:30 PM

Crizo, the BEST Tex-Mex restaurant is right down the road from USA... it rocks. You've gotta check it out. I can't remember the name, but it's nifty man. If I remember, I'll post it - if not, the refs there MUST know, because it would be a travesty if they didn't!

12-04-2002, 11:24 PM

How many people would actually like to go eat dinner afterwards? I'd definitely like to!

As for the field info, Curtis (havoc) will be calling the field back tomorrow to see what info they have for us

langrage

12-04-2002, 11:30 PM

yeah i'd probably eat as well. Since we probably will finish around dinner time and there probably isn't going to be anything in the fridge

PBUSA is really about 20min(??) away from the edge of houston. im not really familiar with the area around it. :-/

any suggestions of known places in the area to get some good grub afterwords?

OldSchoolMag- find out the location of the tex-mex place and let us know.

out~!

Bob Mundon

12-05-2002, 08:47 AM

well, ive been thinking about it and i dont think i can make it, the money situation is just too tight

BradAGD

12-05-2002, 02:47 PM

If you come into town from PB USA, you will hit FM 1960 and there's lots of food there. Only about 20 minutes at the most.

cool?

scarpa43

12-05-2002, 03:24 PM

Answers to a few questions:

I think the mexican restaurant it La Maria, on Grant Rd.
It's between the field and Jones Rd.

The $12 is our team rate green fee, it includes all day 3K air fills, I think it will be $15 for 4.5K fills.

Our paint is normally $55-$60 per case, typically Team Colors or Nelson Challenger. If we know that it will be bought we can get higher grade paint (ex. Nelson Anarchy), that sells for about $70.

Also, how much paint should we look at having that day?
Will everyone want a case? 1/2 a case per person?

Brad, do you know anyone with an available Airball setup?
I have asked Rick to look around but I do not know if he knows anyone.

I hate to bust yer happy bubbles over this AO thing, but on Dec. 14th if its as cold then as it is now, i ain't going. I don't feel like getting hit by a paintball and then shatter into a million pieces.

That ain't my cup of tea, considering I can lay around the house with my woman who can keep me warm.

Yeap, Talked to Darrel, it's set-up for Sat. the 14th. He encouraged BYOP if we could get it cheaper. Doesnt look like he can get his hands on a Supair.

Daroach, I was waiting to see what excuses you'd come up with so you wouldnt look like a fool with everyone bunkering ya.;)
