Florida peeps...step up!!

[Lee]

financial adviser? oh...you mean wife...i get it!

will do on the showdown. most likely second sunday in april.

[Lee]

hey all, i'm going to orbital this sunday if anyone wants to hook up.

i've got enough paint left over for a fairly decent pump gun day. after that i need to take a month or two break to catch up on bills (i keep saying that.....).

if you want to meet up, holla or show. i'll be there.

[TheDuelist]

I got my new baby. Read below in my sig for some specs. I look forward to hooking up with some peeps to see how she does.

I was just cruising the net and found this:

Hot on the heels of the announcement of the venue and dates for Event#1 of the NPPL Super7 World Series - Huntington Beach, March 19-21. Pure Promotions and NPPL are excited to let you guys in on the details for Event#2. With Event#1 taking the prime location on the West Coast, Event#2 will be doing the same on the East Coast. Florida's third largest city, and gulf coast playground - TAMPA, will be playing host to the second event of the year over the weekend of May 21-23

Heres a link for more info

Any AO'ers in PC Florida?

[Wes Janson]

Ooooh...very interesting, Duelist

Just got back from vacation, glad to be back here. Oh, how I love Florida. Home sweet home...

Perhaps we should do a small AO meet at Hi-Tech sometime in the next few months?

[Head knight of Ni]

Anyone going to the Orlando PSP event on April 28-May 2. Disney Wide World of Sports.

[Lee]

welcome home wes. i'm up for going to hi tech in the next couple months, now that i know where it is. i'll let you know when i'm going. i'm on break for a month or two until i can catch up on bills and spend some full weekends with my kids. i'm going to miss some nice balling weather, but if i don't do it now, the whole year is shot

o mystical head knight of ni (run awaaaayyyyyyyy!)
i'll be going to spectate, don't know what days though. probably the first sunday and the last weekend. i'll post my plans. you playing?
where do you normally play at?

chris: i met a viewloader all star at the tourney in lakeland. can we all say together: sandbagging?
anyhoo...he says the nppl in tampa may be at raymond james stadium. i don't know about that though as they'd probably have to charge admission. the glazers don't give anything away for free after all. how was your vacation? shocker working out for you? tell the crew i said hey. susan and mike too please.

the tourney was great! 6 teams. impact 3 (x ball team coached by ryan pilas from pmi southeast and formerly of strange b) took first. can't remember who took second. night watch (ron, amandas dads team) took 3rd. george valeos from the viewloader all stars played for nightwatch. pretty nice guy. very fast front man.
a total of 1359$, iirc, was raised for amanda. i'm not sure if that amount includes the raffle from showdown, havn't heard yet.
good play, great reffing (if i do say so myself). i took a total of 41 reffing hits. i look like a connect the dot puzzle that spells out "ouch". i have hits on parts of my anatomy that i forgot i had.....no wise cracks please....

who's going to the nppl in tampa? once i find out where it is i'm going to go. i plan on going to the college nationals at disney too. hopefully as a ref but i havn't heard back from the coordinater yet. also the orlando open is in may. lots of nice events in our region. we need to do a lunch meet or something.

went to orbital yesterday. decent place, good safety rules, fair prices but too much woodsball. team practicers had the airball most of the day and we weren't put on the hyperball or spool field. nice variety of game formats tough. very creative. maybe 40-45 walk ons total.
not nearly as clean and neat as showdown or paintball experience though.

[TheDuelist]

Congrats on the tourney and the money raised for Amanda. I look forward to hearing more whenever we can hook up. As for the NPPL, I heard it was going to be at Community Tax Investment Stadium as did the little bro so hopefully, by some act of God we can get in for free. I'll keep you posted on what day we plan on going so we can hook up.

Oh the Shocker. I must say it shoots really sweet. I managed to score the last gold non vision Punishers Paintball had. I got the wave trigger on it which is really nice. I ordered the Freeflow 2nd generation bolt kit for it which should be here soon. Its still a toss up on whether I like it more than the Cyborg. Who cares anyway when you have those two to choose between. Next time we hook up at the field you need to take them for a spin and see what you think. Consider it an open invitation.

[Head knight of Ni]

Im not quite up to PSP level. just another spectator. I'll definately be at the college event on the 17th right?

My home field is Orlando Paintball. Before you say anything yes I know the sawdust there is phenominal.

[Movie Guy]

Lee - Spoke with my buddy who's a NPPL insider, the Tampa event will be held @ the practice field next to Raymond James.

I have this on pretty good authority.

Sorry I couldn't make it out to PBEx this past weekend, but with all that's going on at work, I haven't even been able to think about paintball since I started this new job back in November.

[Lee]

HK O'Ni: the 17th is correct to my knowledge. welcome to ao-fl (run awaaaaayyyy...).
maybe we can hook up and watch some ball at disney at one event or another. anyone else up for that? i'll also be going to the orlando open, most likely the first sunday and last weekend.
and, you don't need to be good to play psp...i played the cup with a scratch team (yeah you mg!). we got rolled but i had a blast. it was a great and memorable experience and not really that expensive either, unless you count what gets spent at the trade show......call playing it a moral imperative since it's so close.

mg: thanks for the confirmation, but i'm not aware of a practice field at ray j. they have large open parking lots so maybe thats where it'll be? the practice field is closer to the airport from what i understand. you going to any of the events? tell igs to email me! i miss the big lug.
ryan came to the tourney at pbex for like 2.2 seconds. didn't get a chance to talk to him but it was nice to see him however briefly.

chris: thanks man, i appreciate that and will definately take you up on it. showdown will most likely be my first stop when i get finances back in order. but inbetween that time i'm going to hit every major event i can since so many good ones are happening in the area.
lmk what day you're going to the nppl and i'll go that day too.

[TheDuelist]

Sounds good bro, i'll keep you posted.

[Head knight of Ni]

I'll be at the Orlando Cup on the first weekend mabye and the last sunday definately(since its my birthday). May 2. If you see me I'll be wearing my grey florida gators cap with the orange under the bill. Do you know anything about admission? My friend(s) might be coming and were wondering. I gotta pass out now I've got a long day ahead of me.

[Lee]

ni: theres no admission fee to my knowledge. the cup was free, just walk in. plenty of parking close to the venue as well. when it gets closer to the event i'll pm you my cell number.

chris: looking forward to hanging with you and watching some world class pball!
