HEAVEN OR HELLA, LET'S ROCK. AO California, April 12th

[sandfreestyle]

Personally, I think people should bring their own food and if something comes together at the field then we can do that. Don't forget that Sant Clarita is not the best place for parking with a lot of vehicles, almost all the places along the freeway have small parking lots and they are almost always full. Castaic has bigger parking lots but not as much of a selection. There is also the mall right there about a mile from the freeway on Magic Mountain Parkway. There is a lot of places there (BJ's, seafood grill, Johnny Rockets, Olive Garden, Black Angus, etc.) and there is more parking too. I think it would also be hilarious for a bunch of people to walk in a restraunt with paint all over them and talking about shooting each other and see all the faces in the place look worried.


If it makes a difference, I know some people that work at the BJ's right there at the mall and they will treat us right.

BJ's works for me

I am SO down for a massive AO dinner.
I remember after a Pendleton game, about 10 of us stopped for some food. They must've thought we crawled out of a sewer.

So, is an after group thing at BJs on the list?

[Z-man]

I am still talking to the NorCal peoples but I am thinking that we might make this a 2 day event (at least for us). See besides it being a LONG drive down and back, most of us have not seen each other or talked in like 3-4 years.

If we book some hotel rooms we can play all day Saturday, got back to the hotel, clean and change and drive down to Chevys and eat at our leisure, then drive back tot he hotel and clean the gear and shoot the breeze. We could play part of Sunday or just have breakfast and take off.

Either way it takes the rush out of the event for all of us and we could have tim TO talk. If you SoCal guys want to come to Chevys you need to let me know so I can call them and find out if its possible to reserve that much dining space. If you want to do BJ's that works too but I think it will be Chevys for us for the nostalgia alone.

Wait, what?

[Z-man]

Wait, what?

Made in reference to the fact that they may wish to go there and that is ok. It won't change that we are going to Chevys.

[Blennidae]

He didnt even duck when that one went over...

[Aegis]

Wait, what?

Must be a SoCal thing. I don't recall anything like that after our AO days.

But it is a boomerang, sure to come back around. The response will probably have the word "slay" in it.

[Loguzzzzzz]

You must understand that with VERY few exceptions, Chevy's after a day of paintball, ESPECIALLY one as momentous as this, is critical for us northerners.

Now that bad news is that as Eatem mentioned there is not one close. Best shot is this one here.

Chevys in Encino

I shall think on this....

FYI-for what is it worth there is an "El Torito" Mexican Restaurant in Valencia, 6 miles from CPP and about a mile from the Best Western.

I think this may be a realistic option......

1) Does it have a tortilla making machine?

2) Is it Chevys?

Sounds to me like the rest of the NorCal gang would rather spend time in a hotel making out with each other then being a group. I guess they are all coming down from the Gay Area?

Seriously-Z-man- after playing paintball you want to go back to your room to make yourself pretty before going out with the guys? I would quote you but it should be easy to find.

If you NorCal'ers want to take a trip down memory lane thats cool with me.

I would be up for us all getting dinner afterwards. But I am certainly not going to hang out while you guys are getting cleaned up.

Since you are planning on it being a 2 day event how about you go get some "chevy's" on sunday?

[Indignant]

that's cool

[Eatem Alive]

Because it's at least a half an hour in the wrong direction. Chevy's would be great, but I'm up for whatever the group wants to do. It's just going to be cool seeing all the old guys as well as meeting news ones.

[Whee McGee]

Is Chevy's half an hour north, south, east, or west of CPP?
I'd really just like to get everyone together at one place.
A second day would be interesting, but probably too much cash and time (I was only able to get time off on Saturday).
