    same here Chris. i can't remember when i had as much fun as yesterday or got as many games in.
    my bud Tim says he hasn't had that much fun playing in 10 years. he was totally impressed by the field, play and player quality and amount of games he got in.
    and as for them being targets, they surprised me. i didn't know Kevin still had it in him, he hasn't played in years.

    Mike says there were over 100 people there yesterday and that it was thier best turnout yet. i don't think that record will last long though.

    your offer of support for the benefit is greatly appreciated, thank you very very much. heres hoping you can play it. you guys are at tourney level if yesterday is any indication. you all rock!
    catch you as soon as i can brutha!

    wesjanson: i'm committed for that weekend, sorry but thanks for the heads up.

      Yesterday was D-Day at the local field. Dumba** Day. It was really horrible Sucky weather...light drizzling, low temperature, bad lighting, lots of humidity. The real problem was the ~100 players there. In all seriousness, I was quite likely the most experienced player there, and I'm not exactly a veteran of paintball. You don't appreciate Kingman's enormous market share until you see an example of every single product they've ever made, all on the field at once. With perhaps a half dozen Tippmanns fielded by wealthy newbies. Plus the obligatory 30-40 rental guns that belong in a museum. Ohhhh, it sucked... :/ As soon as you stopped moving, your lens would start to fog..and every time I got into position I had to either fall back and run around for a minute, to clear my mask up, or else die. And if I fell back, the two or three people who followed me into the bunker would all inexplicably follow be to the back, then wander off somewhere else.

      It was a complete mess. I long for the opportunity to play alongside decent players. Where is AO FL?? Where are you, Snooker, Lee, Waldo...? We need an AO FL day soon. Very soon.

        wes: sorry to hear about the mess. i'd lito console you by saying i've had a day like that, but i can't. sorry. i think you win the prize for worst day ever...rather be at work day lol.

        consider an ao fl day in the works. i have a couple tourneys i'm helping in coming up in feb and march, but after that i'll start to work on an ao day.

        your right....it's time. big turnout or small, i dn't care how it turns out. it's on.

        anyone have any day/date/field suggestions?

          I'll throw out Showdown for the meet. If we talk to Susan and Mike they would be all for it and it is in Central Florida so its in a good spot for a meet. I'm only a bit prejudice though. It doesn't matter to me overall, I'll travel to hook up with other AO members and have a ULE good time.

                  Showdown is a bit far for me, I think, but it should be doable. According to mapquest it's about an hour and a half...could be worse I suppose Hi-Tech is also an option..assuming we can get the field mostly to ourselves on an off day. I've seen under a half dozen people show up to play, and over a hundred, and I'm really not sure what causes the difference in number. Depending on the number of AO FLers, we might want to try booking the field.

                          Lee- Are you going to the meeting tomorrow evening at Showdown? If so I'll introduce you to my new acquisition.

                            Sounds good! That's about a fifteen minute drive for me, I think, and to my knowledge there's nothing planned on that date for me. I'd call for directions, but I don't know your phone number Can you PM it to me? How many people do you expect to come?
