This Just In....shatnerball

[MedicDVG]

MAybe its just me, but I would gladly take $17,000 for my charity. Its better then nothing. So we aren't high falutin horse people - whooppedy dooo! Neither is half the world. Hell if he wants to eat caviar and poo poo with the rich snizzles over thier million dollar livestock -- have at it. But I am just a common man, as are many of his fans, and half the allure of the celebrity paintball idea was just that -- to mingle with those who before have only been visions on the silver screen.

So I am sorry if I am too common for him, I am sorry if my fellow paintballers are not as well heeled as his horse's *** friends, but hell, my money also spends just the same (granted not nearly as much.)

So Yes I am disapointed, and yes, I am feeling less then admiration for Bill. Sorry Boston Public got cancelled Bill... NOT!

I am not holdin my breath to see any celebrity paintball event in the near future, or ever again, at least not with Mr. ****ner at the helm. Maybe we can get Tom to sponsor such an event -- What you say Mr. Kaye????

Eric, I will try my hardest in the future to piss you off again

I always seem to have a knack with that. I like the fact that you speak your mind, and that you respect the fact that others might disagree

Nothing but respect man, maybe we can throw paint together someday .

Fellow Shanterballers,

I am afraid what you are hearing here is simply not true and as usual people are jumping to conclusions.

First off in the interview IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY Bill says we couldn't do it in the Astrodome which is true. This has made us late on getting something together for Labor Day which is also true. We ARE trying to put something together for the end of the year in a warm place due to this delay.

I was on the phone with Bill YESTERDAY talking about this years event. We ARE planning on making it happen.

The fact we raised 17,000 is only PART of the money raised which Bill with his hectic schedule has forgotten about. We gave an additional $10,470 to the police charity the 100 Club of Cook County and Patrick and Dianne gave an additional 5,000 out of their own pocket of which 2,320 went to Ahead with Horses charity. So all total we raised over 30k for charity from an event with less than 1000 people.

You have now heard it directly from me and MXS who are the owners of Celebrity Paintball with Bill. How about we promote this info across the net as fast as the bad news travels.

Thanks,

Celebrity Paintball

Tom, if you were actively involved in getting this show on the road, ya screwed up.

The Astrodome was a pie-in-the-sky scenario that would have been kool, but there should have been a back-up plan. {always have a plan "B"}

As far as everyone blaming Bill, give me a break... The guy is an actor. He shows up when he's told to show up. He might have made a phone call to a reluctant official, or done some publicity for the show. That would be all of his involvement in making Shatnerball happen before the day of the game.

Bill Shatner wasn't the person(s) that screwed up Shatnerball, this year.

[Glickman]

as cool as it looks, i dont think the astrodome was a great choice. it doesnt sound feasable...

[dj89]

Well don't make it any farther away than it already is from me.

Any hope at all is greatly appreciated, Tom.

[Eric Of Extreme Measures]

See, if you are loud enough, you will be heard.

Faith is a good thing..

I wont hold my breath though....

Still pissed, and a plan B would have been nice...

Thanks Tom, and If you could please put some of your Time into this and it will happen...

My brain just exploded everyone. What the heck is going on now? They said the event was gonna happen Labor Day...then not gonna happen. Now they say it is again but the date is not set? My head is going to explode (I'm a huge exagerator). This last 5 months of planning, saving, praying has now turned into weeks of spending, bendgeing, and crying; yea you heard me, lots and lots of crying (except the crying part, I never did cry).

I just don't know what to do now.


If they have it, will anyone still go?

Finally, the voice of reason.

Ok, so when, where, how much, and how far am I gonna be driving? What can you tell us, or oracle of the allknown?

Or, basically, we need info!!! I'm trying to get my back... back... to where it needs to be... I need incentive.

Hopefully they will have it in Califonia, maybe florida. Most probable during the Thanksgiving or Christmas break. Am I missing a hollidy here?

I'll just have to set my tivo for the sunday morning kick-off first. I'd really like to go to California but most paintball players demographically live on the east coast. My estimates put it southeast somewhere.

But I don't want to speculate. I already did that for 5 months. Just freakin tell us please.

Lets recant a few things said here

All,
Please read my post in this forum. I would appreciate some edits or deletions of some posts in this thread then.

[Caffiend]

well, that sucks. Time to take leave off the books for Labor Day Missed the first two due to money and the last one because my deployment got extended, hope I can make the next one. GIVE ME A DATE!!!

Eric, breathe before you post man. Calling Bill a jerk and a moron won't help...Mancow on the other hand couldn't hurt though

[MedicDVG]

Thank you Tom for the information, albeit sketchy, but information none the less where before there was NOTHING.

Soooo... I hold my breath once again (Please don't let it be too long though - hypoxia is a bugger) and patiently wait for updates.

Please inform us as soon as possible, for as we have seen (and I am as guilty of it as anyone) in an information vacum, those that don't have it will start to make it up and believe it as fact.

SHATNERBALL '05!!!! We like it! We love it! We want more of it!

(Ok I will go take my medicne now.)
