AGD Super Tour - Come One Come All!!!

[AGD]

AO Team,

This thread got lost somewhere so I am starting another. We had talked about getting an official tour date together where you can come out and visit the factory, we will have dinner and go to Country Club Paintball and get it on.

Things are completely booked until November so how about one of these dates. The 10th, 17th or 24th of November. That's a Saturday, I'll have a lot of the staff there special to meet with all of you when they are not busy taking phone calls and such.

Let's try and fix the date here so you all have plenty of time to figure out how you'll get here.

Should be fun!

AGD

[AGDRules]

Hey I dont have my RT yet, but Hopefully I will be there, hehe.

Ya it should be fun.

[Army]

Hmmm....note to self; call AGD repeatedly during scheduled tour to draw staff away from visiting group.....

[StevoC]

Not sure where that is, but am assuming it's in Illinois? If you get a date locked soon enough, I may try to come in from (not-so) sunny CA.

Anyone know of a good hotel in that area I could reserve a room at if I come? Where will I need to fly in to?

Note to self: Cut armys phone lines.

Hello? hello? HELLO? dang it........

GREAT! since it's all the way in November, that gives about 2 months for AGD to relocate to california!!

When the date is more permanent, I could arrange a ROAD TRIP!!!!!!:P

I'd love to see the inside of the place...I used to live out there...near Graet Mistakes Ill. I will find it.

Wow, am I relieved it's not in September. All my weekends then are already booked! yay! I'm free each and every weekend, so I have no date preference.

[wyn1370]

That's great. I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it. But so far November is free.

Sounds good! I am open any weekend so whatever the we vote on it will be great. I will have to consider this a slightly late B-day gift. LOL. By then I can run on my ankle. Thanks Tom.

That sounds cool !

The 17th or 24th works for me.

[skipdogg]

DEFINATELY THE 17th!! That is me B-Day!!! What could be better.. Trip to AGD/playing some ball/then stay at the trump and do some rollin!! 7-11 baby http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[martlet1]

how far away from ST. Louis is that?

[Digital Me]

It is about 4 and a half hours doing the speed limit from St Louis to Country Club. Jerky's girlfriend lives down there and he whines about the drive.

Will the great and powerful Jeff be out there? I've heard of him and I know some of the guys that play on his team, but I've never gotten to shoot it up with Jeff.

[martlet1]

Oh, I didn't realize it was a suburb of Chicago. AGD said they were completely booked until November. Lets hope they weren't expecting the Cubs to be playing in October, and thats what the holdup was. Im sure, if history repeats itself, that Octobers baseball schedule in Chicago will be nice and open.

[Major Ho]

Wow! A tour on my Birthday (24th) Mr. Kaye...Can you please sell one extra EMag, or regular mag for that matter, and take the money from that to buy me a plane ticket over there as a Birthday present? Man...Dirty Rotten luck, I'd prolly be stuck at home tending to relatives for Thanksgiving. http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif

[cphilip]

Hey! I gotta better idea. Let's take the whole gosh danged factory ON tour!

[This message has been edited by cphilip (edited 08-31-2001).]

[magc68]

i like that idea. take AGD on tour. 25 citys in 30 days.

[snowman]

I vote for the 17th, I like Skippdogs idea of throwing down after playing some ball too. Always bet on black!

[Restola]

if anyone wants to fly in and meet me at o'hare (or the nearest airport) we can share a rental car.

[This message has been edited by Restola (edited 08-31-2001).]

[Zo]

no offense guys, but maybe it could also be something for everybody?(like no bars, casios etc.) didnt know if peeps were thinkin about this but i know some of the people that want to go wouldnt be able to do that.

[Gambit1106]

Well the way things are looking the 17th is becoming the majority vote. I think the 17th would be great, lets get it set so Tom can set in his calander.

Darren

[emaggot4life]

17th good to go. And if you have been keeping up with this thread, NO TALK ABOUT STRIP CLUBS. AGD got hinda pissed (can I use that on here?) last time and was gunna cancel.

[irbodden]

if anyone wants any hotel info, or info on the area, email me. I am from like a town or two over within 15 minutes or so.

-Rick

[irbodden]

Guess what? There are no Strip bars around the area, nor are there any casinos. You gotta remember most of the towns that surrond AGD are preppy. (Not wheeling though..)

[emanjamin]

I am free for any one of those days. I don't care when it is but I am going!

------------------
What has your elf done for you lately?

[Xugg'420]

Can count me in on the 17, or when ever, but the sooner the better http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[thei3ug]

I'll be there.

And make sure you have snacks in the fridge. i like to get my hands greasy and touch everything. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[emag0000]

sure il come but ccp is kinda nasty cuz how every thing u touch is slimey cuz of the broken paintballs ewww but il come to tair ? up wiht my kick the bucket emag http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif


Watch your language laddie. We run a tight, clean ship here and don't tolerate any abuse of the good Kings English. Keep that in mind for the future http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[This message has been edited by Army (edited 08-31-2001).]

[emag0000]

where are we eating dinner at?

[Monsta]

Weekends are fine. I'll be ready with E-mag by then. CCPB is like 20 mins away.

[irbodden]

All those shavings in the back get stuck to you cause of all that nasty paint at CC. I like Blitz, kinda rustic, but nice fields IMO.

-Rick

[Monsta]

btw ..If your flying in anyone!!!!....I'll be happy to pick you up, but Please make it MIDWAY Airport ...O'Hare is to far out in my pimp VAN.We can seat about 5..so e-mail me if you are interested

[stimpy13]

drive or fly it 712 miles i will try and be there...pick a date

[krafty]

So the running totals are:
10th - 1 vote
17th - 5 votes
24th - 2 votes
and tons of no preferences...

Then again... I didn't do too well in math class. Somebody else might want to check my totals. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[thei3ug]

country club is COOL! if you're sliding into a bunker you can start the slide right off the break and make it to the center!

and if you're going to o'hare, there is public transportation, and the TRAIN will take you just about anywhere you need to go if you can't afford a cab, or don't have a shuttle. If you need directions, ask.

certain people i'd be happy to board for a weekend.

you know who you are, and if you know who i am, then it's all good. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[zvanut]

count me in, what all would we do and would it be all day or a few hours???

------------------
Gotta Love The Smilies :) have a nice day

[AGD]

OK the 17th of November it is!! We can meet for lunch and get to know each other (like we don't already), do the factory tour, get an early dinner and commute to CC for some ball.

It's going to be important that I know how many people are coming so please confirm that here (once you make your travel arrangements).

AGD

[zvanut]

ok i will let u know ASAP.

------------------
Gotta Love The Smilies :) have a nice day

[Gunga]

Welp, I'll be there. It's only about a 1/2 hour drive for me. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[agdjon]

Long Weekend http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

Looking forward to it guys

[irbodden]

Yea, fly into MIDWAY, its much cheaper, and you'll be able to get in and out much quicker not a hassle like O'Hare.

-Rick

[irbodden]

I HATE to do this, but could I get a ride with some of you to CC? I promise not to be annoying..

-Rick

[snowman]

I know of three of us that will be comming for sure. If anyone lives in SouthEastern Wisconsin, send an email to either me or SkippDog. And for thoes of you who want to, we'll be heading to Trump in Gary afterwards. It's only a half hour drive from Country Club.

[irbodden]

My dad flys every other week or so, TRUST me, Midway is much less of a hassle. Its also cheaper to fly into. I didn't think they were doing an expansion anyways, isn't it all talk? They were also proposing a new airport..

-Rick

[This message has been edited by irbodden (edited 09-01-2001).]

[Gambit1106]

Well I'm in for the tour. To everyone flying, YES Midway is under construction, NO it is not any cheaper but airlines like Southwest and ATA fly there and are inexpensive. Finally Midway seems to be a easier airport to get to etc.. I know because I spent 8 months flying around last year and 7 this yeat I will fly Midway airport first then O'hare as a last resort.

Darren

[irbodden]

Like I said, it is cheaper to fly into Midway. The majority of the discount flights go to midway, but good ones go to.

-Rick

[BradPalooza]

AGD, You can count 3 from the PaintPalooza contingent to be there. Myself and two others.

[Gunga]

While I agree with the guys talking about Midway being easier to get to than O'Hare...for the guys flying in, you have to keep in mind that O'Hare is A LOT closer to AGD HQ than Midway.

And...you'll have to go by O'Hare to get to AGD from the city.

[lonsch]

ill be there. if anyone from north west Indiana needs a ride i will be willing to take you

[thei3ug]

most people don't have a choice where they fly in.

besides, with the expansion of midway, it's not easier AT ALL.

I've always liked ohare. I always knew where I was going, the signs were always accurate, and there are always people to help.

up until recently, midway has been a dump with two terminals.

[Muzikman]

Ok...cool...Got my $78 round trip tix form PIT to MDW via AirTran. Got my Rental Car reserved from Hertz (w/ never lost). Now, I just need to find a Hotel for Friday and Saturday night. Anyone know of a decent hotel (Hampton Inn or Hilton would be best) in the area?

Wonder if AGD would let me ship them my gun(s) and have them put an Intelliframe, warp and a nice new Flatline 4500# on it so it will be ready when I get there (That way I don't have to worry about checking in baggage.)

17th it is I guess!

[cledford]

Guys, Tom indicated in another post that if there are 20 confirmed attendee's he would be willing to consider a tech class. It makes sense that this would fall on a second day, so lets try to schedule things so that we can stay over night (double up on the rooms if necessary) and give him the numbers he needs.

Think of the fame, the fortune, and the possible chance to buy a cool "factory tech" denim shirt like Hoover wears :-)

Honestly, if the E-Mag takes off like it looks like it's going to (especially with the new modular body - can you say Angel killer?) then shops and tourneys out there will need qualified, pro-AGD techs.

[irbodden]

I am coming, and PM if you want some hotel information or anything about the area. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a tech class :) Forget CC, I want a neato certificate saying I am Jr. Tech :D


-Rick

[krafty]

Confirming 1 inbound.

[Snap_Dogg]

yo i havnt been on in a while cause my net has been down and just got back up like 3 seconds ago but i love that idea

[Snap_Dogg]

thats tyte i want to go and i havnt been on for a while cause my net has been down and that sucks

[Xzion]

with any luck I'll show up... id love to make it, still talking my father into giving me a ride to wheeling... I hate not having my own car :(

[SHAG]

Hi,

First off, very nice to how the forums look. It is taking me a while to get use to the new features AO has provided the Automag community.

I would like to make the AGD factory tour. Being from New Jersey, presents its own set of unique problems. Time is going to be on my side though. I figure this tour being on November 17th (3 days after my 24th Birthday) I should be able to make the journey via a plane. I will keep the members of the AO informed in whether or not I am going to make the trip. I would like to help out getting the 20 people together for a tech class for AOers. I would be interested in the teching and tour as well as the playing against Tom Kaye.

Later,
Alan

[slushee]

I can't wait .. I'll be there .. will drive down from canada - southern ontario ... anyone need a lift?

[cphilip]

Sure slushee! come on by and pick me up. I'm in South Carolina. That's on the way isn't it? ;)

OK you guys...since I can't come I hearby order all of you not to have any fun! OK? :(

[Xzion]

slushee; Im 30 min north of Belleville; and might need a ride, presuming I can spare the time/money to actually make the trip.

[irbodden]

Slushee, wanna give me a ride to Country Club, I'll pay my share of the gas.

-Rick

[the123]

Without a doubt, i'll make the tour and funtime afterwards. I live about 45 minutes from AGD and can help if a couple people need a lift. I can't wait!

[slushee]

Xzion - no problem .. Email me to set a p/u date/time

irbodden - no problem pickin you up .. how far are you from Wheeling anyhow? Think you could book me a room somewhere? Hell, maby I could get Xzion to go in on it too..

[Xzion]

slushee; Id be up for splitting a room, as I said before, presuming I do manage to be able to make it in the first place. was also thinking perhaps you and I could meet in advance, kinda a get to know eachother meeting or something... perhaps at Top Gun paintball in belleville?

[slushee]

i'll have to p/u my gear from back home but sure.. Email me and we'll set something up. BTW - where is Top Gun?

[Xzion]

slushee; if it'll be a problem, getting your gear here, im sure we could either just meet somehwere. As for Top Gun, I dont really know myself... ive gotta give em a call one of these days, not to mention visit their field lol... heard its pretty good though. if worst comes to worst, could always lend you my backup mag.

[irbodden]

I am very close to wheeling, and probly can meet you where your staying. If you want, I'll get the hotels rates and phone numbers for you.

-Rick

[kman32]

oh how i wish i couold go!

[wilddog]

17th would be best

[Gambit1106]

Anyone driving/flying in and staying in hotels let some of us IL people know. I know I can give a few people a lift if its needed. I saw the123 said the same, carpooling would be a good idea.

Darren

PS Or if anyone in IL wants to carpoll let me know I can get 3 mabey 4(uncomforably) in my truck.

[ozric2001]

Wow, feels good to be back. Ive been offline for a while, so the changes were quite a suprise. The site is better than ever! Thanks Tom for your time on Sat at Bad Boys. How do I sign up for the tour?

[Techpriest]

Slushee? are you serios? I'm in kitchener and/or london depending on where I am (dads or moms) are either of these on the way? I can't confirm or nething, but a drive would actually make this a possibility, and I would be able to meet tom kaye :-[/

lemme know man

[slushee]

Techpriest - yeah .. i'll be comming up with wilddog and xzion. We do have room but it'll be a tight fit in my jetta! PM me to set up a time/date for pick up in London .. and about accomodations..

[Techpriest]

ok man, I'll see what I can do for arranging here, it might not be able to fly, but either way, I"m appreciative man. Thanks for atleast makin this a possibility.

[skirts]

Hey tommy,
a couple of boyz from Butterscotch Yo will be there. it sounds like fun, do you have an idea as to how many people are allready planning on attending?

agdjon,
well see you this weekend at the next cpsa event. Get fired up folks and everyone better bring flowers for joanne ;)

[hitmanng]

If I can get the OK from the wife I will drive the van. Then I can ferry 6 other people around.
Hope to see you there.
Hitmanng

[slushee]

good luck techpreist!

[Doobie]

I was going to Chicago to help out the area's Army recruiters, I am a Drill Sergeant and I was telling High School kids about Basic Training, so I decided I would make a side trip to visit AGD. I knew it would be hard to fit in and that it would probably be last minute for AGD, but the worse they could say was no...right?
I called one morning before going into a school and talked with Joanne. Originally, the answer was no because they were quite busy. She did thank me for calling first and not just stopping by, like some people do. (Make a note if you ever plan on visiting!) I explained that I was not going to be able to make the AO open house because I would be teaching trainees and this was the best chance I would get. There was a moment of silent contemplation, and then she said she would see what she could do. After a short discussion, they would be able to fit me in that afternoon! After receiving excellent directions (thanks again Joanne!) I went to the AGDHQ that afternoon.
I was met at the door by Joanne herself and after a few short phone calls (hey, she has a job to do besides show schmoes like me around the place!) she brought me back to meet the man...the myth...the legend...Tom Kaye himself! He was busy in the assembly area trying to sort out a computer problem, but he still dropped what he was doing and greeted me with a big smile and a handshake. After starting some projects going while he would be giving me the tour, and getting me a Coke (thank), we began the almost 2hr. tour! I'm going to break it down into the different areas of the factory (?) as best as I can remember. Hey...I saw a lot!
One of the first things I got to see was all of the entries for the Intelliframe package contest submitted by some of my fellow AO members. They look real good in the boxes and asked Tom if he had a favorite so far. He did...but I'm not tellin'. For those that have not seen or held one, they look and feel real nice and will ship with DYE sticky grips. By the way, they really appreciate the AO members at AGD and that was part of the reason Tom went out of his way for me, besides being an all around nice guy!
The assembly area was occupied with about 5 employees assembling E-mags. (Drool!) It was quite efficient as expected from AGD. The parts area was filled with rows of bins stacked to near the ceiling with every part for all the AGD markers. Tom told me the parts are all made off site by contractors and assembled; QC'd, and packed on site. AGD is one of the only manufacturers that has blue prints that contractors must follow to meet their exacting standards, Tom explained.
I saw the machine that makes the perfect circle paintball that they sell to the military and on that day it was being filled with a marking fill. On the days the fill is going to be pepper agent, for riot control use, they wear respirators in the room as well as "clean suits" like you see on TV. The room is also ventilated to the outside.
As some of you know, AGD was involved in a police training program on the grounds of AGD. It is currently being dismantled due to lack of interest. Main reason being, the officers could not explain to their chiefs, in a way they could understand, what they were learning. Tom showed me I might not be as quick on the draw as I thought. They used Sydarms with a lightbulb installed above the barrel that would turn on when the trigger was pulled. Through the use of videotape, the argument of who pulled the trigger first was solved.
At this point, I asked Tom why the Sydarm was no longer made. He explained that there was a microscopic o-ring that was difficult to install, and expensive. It also only fires ten round at a time and if re-loaded quickly and rapid fired again, the CO2 could freeze the valve. Then, we would have players running around in scenario games and the like complaining about how their $300+ gun is freezing up. Not to mention the cost of replacing the microscopic seal between the air supply and the valve!
Tom showed me his "hobby room". If some of you did not know, he is way into Astronomy (the big brain physics stuff) and Archeology! He is in the process of building a large telescope of his own design. I didn't ask if it would be powered by HP and have an LCD display! He then showed me his fossil collection. I'm not talking about shells trapped in mud here. I'm talking about full heads and feet and stuff! The one he seemed most proud of was something like a Rhino, although not related. If this is how he treats his hobbies, I'd hate to see how he relaxes! I'm kidding Tom, we all have our way of relaxing.
Now on to the real good stuff, the up and coming and experimental stuff! Tom showed me a new rail and mainbody for a new version of the 'mag. These were made out of lightweight aluminum and would now allow the body to be anodized! I also got to see the new lightweight AND YES, lower pressure valve. The three combined with the Intelliframe should make a very lightweight and nice shooting gun. I also got to gander at the longer throw bolt. This will slow down the rate of fire that the 'mags are famous for but, will almost eliminate ball chop. Tom and I then talked about ROF. Would the difference between 13bps and 11bps really effect the average player's game? I don't think anyone could run through a stream of paint flying 11bps. Timing and accuracy are the big factors in a one on one, so we agreed shooting paint at 11bps is better than shooting goo at 13goos per second. They are also in the process of milling over a pound off of the E-mag, so that the weight of a Warpfeed would be negligible. Tom believes that to be entirely possible. He also told me about some changes to the Warpfeed. I guess there have been some feed problems at times at the point before the ball enters the tube and there is a fix in the works for that. Also, there have been complaints about the gray color of the feed tube for the warp. Some people want a color option. The only tube that AGD has found that will take a different color during manufacture is much softer than the stock feed tube. So it looks like people will have a choice, a hard but durable gray tube, or a soft and pliable colored one. Some people will always sacrifice reliability for aesthetics.
Tom also showed me the new modular feed E-mags that debuted at the IAO. All I can say is... Vedy Niiiice!
Tom also showed, and tried his best to explain to a dumb grunt like me, all of the high tech testing and measuring equipment that AGD uses in the development of new equipment. It made my head hurt. All of you AGD owners who have registered your equipment need not worry about a loss of your information. I was shown the server computers that manage and store all of this stuff. Tom has two servers with the same info stored in them for redundancy. There were more wires running through there than I would like to deal with. My VCR confuses me! It is obvious that an extreme amount of thought goes into every single thing that AGD does.
For those of you who are planning on attending the AO open house in November, you are in for a treat! I'm sure they are going to pull out all the stops for an event like that because it is obvious to me they really appreciate all the AO members. Even lurkers like myself. Once again, I would like to express my extreme gratitude to Tom, Joanne, and the rest of the AGD team for taking the time to talk to me and letting me behind the scenes of this great company. You have to like a company that has employees that read APG on their breaks! AGD has been on the cutting edge of Paintball for years and will continue to lead the way into the future of our sport by thinking outside the box. Thanks again guys!

:D

[the123]

WEll, Doobie, I do-be lieve you spoiled that quite nicely.

[Doobie]

Sorry guys, Tom told me to post about the tour. Plus, i know that they will have some good stuff for you guys going to the AO open house that i didn't get. I really enjoyed myself and hoped this would have you guys looking forward too it. Sorry.:confused:

[SuperOrangeTicTac]

[Xzion]

[agdjon]

Please guys, you are a bunch of drunk wienies :)

I want to come :(
Tom, send the chopper out to get me :D

[Muzikman]

I'm not sure where Wayne, PA is, but if it's near Pgh or Philly you should be able to fly there for under $80 round trip via AirTran.

[SuperOrangeTicTac]

so what would the time frame be if this happend, like what time would we have lunch and the tour and such? i guess the specifics will be figured out later, but i would like to know. i will probably go. :D

[Panzerr]

I can make it any day other than the 17th-I've got drill that day.

I could drum up some buddies to road trip along..just need to know the date.

[Panzerr]

Agck! You guys have to pick the one weekend in October that I have guard drill.

[Muzikman]

It's not Oct, it's Nov 17. There may also be a tech class on the 16th if there are enough people.

[Panzerr]

i have drill that weekend in november

[Shaft]

Hmm. Tour AGD. Sounds good to me. Come to think of it...

Wheeling. Old Munich Inn is around there isn't it?

[Shaft]

Tom,
I'm in for the 17th.
Rick

[ProjectMag]

Better keep this at the top

[jeffremiller]

This sounds like it's definitely worth a road trip. Put me down for 1 maybe two people. We're only 6 hours away.

A tech class would be cool... is there one scheduled for the 16th... how do I register for something like that?

My odds of making it just went WAAAYYY up, I should be able to afford the trip now! WOOO HOOO! *Dances* though, im not sure I should send in a conformation email to AGD like the one post asked.... with my luck, if I do, something bad will end up runing my likelyhood of attending.... curse Murphy and his stupid law! :(

Hey, if anyone is going and lives in wisconsin or is driving in from west of illinois, lemme know. I'd love to go, but I can't drive my car there. It's kinda not legal for me to do so. Maybe I can get the use of someone else's car... But I can toss in for fuel.... Darn it, how come I didn't see this thread sooner! the 17th is two days before my b-day.... ARG! Someone lemme know soon, k?
