The 2005 NorCal vs. SoCal AO Day Details Thread

[Mighty Mike]

Come on Mike, you are just getting tired of giving away all of yours every time we play.

lol....well, the last time we played I was the one in despair and begging for batteries for my halo. Luckily EatemAlive came through with 6 brand new AA!! I'll be fully stocked w/ 9volts and AA so i can still help anyone in desperate need.

I'll also be bringing my Cereal Killers dvd if ayone wanted to check that out.

I should be at the hotel around 4-5pm friday, so what are the plans for dinner?

RoadDawg now that I think about it, I guess it has been awhile. Because you bunkered me at SC village on lego land. I think that was during the fires a few years ago. So you are in trouble .

as for who ever was bring the Xbox, ill bring mine up, and maybe we could play a LAN game of halo if we could get two tvs

[Waffleman]

someone should contact the hotel and find out how many TVs if any are in the conference room, if theres not enough ill bring mine for the night since I live right there

[hAppy]

Hey I want in on Halo 2, let's bring like 10 Xbox's and everyone can play? I don't have xbox and have the slightest idea on how it works.

Final Preparations

Hey guys I am scrambling all over trying to get everything ready (but that is half the fun no?) and I wanted to make a little list of things to remember (at least ones I think apply to everyone).

First off, Jon tells me that many people have been calling/emailing him about RV parking overnight. He says unfortunately RV's may not stay at the field overnight BUT, there is a Walmart not 2 miles from the field. So that works out eh?

Second, we will have a BBQ truck at the field for foodies on Sat and Sun. I hear that this guy makes giant portions of meat and everything is between $2-8! So we can all eat lunch right at the field! Also Saturday night I am thinking it would be nice to have a big ol pizza dinner at the event room we have reserved at the Best Western. That will be a Pizza hut deal no doubt as we all know pizza hut is the king of the fast food pizza places :P

Now on to the list:

-Event and Field Waivers. Have them signed and all that. We will have them available at the field but I still have to get them printed (note on the media waivers: I will have them at the field for signing by those who wish to on the day of play)

-Filled Air Tanks / Scuba Tanks. While we have a generator and compressor, we will have a lot of people around and if we all rush the air station, we won't be too happy when we drain the tanks. Fill everything you can beforehand so we minimize this... Again, no fill stations are allowed on the field so... yeah.

-Computer of some kind OK so this is not really a necessity but hey they have FREE T1

[RoadDawg]

Well I'm getting my gear ready as we speak. I even bought new Dye pants and elbow pads for this event. In fact I'm such a nerd I'm sporting my game gear as I type (even my knee pads).

EJ- I know I'm in trouble but I'll get into the swing for sure by afternoon. I've got your paint by the way. I opened up the chronic and primer to make sure there are no broken balls. One bag of chronic had that oil type deal but it was nothing so it's good to go.

Zman- Pizza Hut is the bomb. Nothing beats BJ's Brewery and Pizza (restaraunt wise).

Now I got to get batteries and I'm set.

[Waffleman]

i could bring my laptop if someone had an dongle, my ethernet on it is busted and we could then post pics like saturday night after the game!

Did you get that case of primer for me or will I have to buy two cases from the field?

[Carbon]

Sorry, i feel like an *** for asking, but who wants to front me a case or two of paint. My plans got thrown outta wack and i coyuldnt get a hold of my hookup. so anyone willing to front me a case or two, BBQ on me for the troubles! PM me holla!

[Big Weapons]

*nudges Mike and his ungodly amount of xball paintballs*

Anyways, I was gathering up all my gear tonight and figured that I'd be taking up all of Casey's trunk. Of course, I'm planning on selling one of the guns before this weekend, so we'll see.

[jackbauer]

carbon~ i just bought 2 1/2 cases of proto and a local chop in the sac area and it only cost me 107. it turned out to be 10.71/bag. if you want me to get you some, lmk. i dont have the funds to front you, but if you send me the funds, i will get you some and give yo uall my vital info like home phone and work phone and all that stuff.

[Eatem Alive]

I will probably have some for you. Gonna cost, though. Gotta promise no over the bunker hail mary shots.

haha, no promises brian.

nak, i am picking up paint for ryan tonight after work so let me know if you want me to pick up a couple of cases more for you. i need to know by 5 p.m. today though.

EVERYONE BETTER SHOW UP!

I'm currently planning on leaving my house at O'Dark Hundred Saturday morning and returning Saturday evening. Seven hours on the road just so I can show up and meet a few of you and talk with those of you I've already met (and play alittle too).

So, If you see me (I'll have my AO jersey on), come up and say hi.

Baring any changes (you never know with a baby), I'll see you Saturday.

[Big Weapons]

No Sunday fun?

No Sunday fun?

When I talked with my Wife about coming, her first responce was "Is this an all weekend thing?", so no, there is NO chance for Sunday. I'm hoping Saturday doesn't fall through...

But hey, Saturday is better than nothing!
