AO rec. game during skyball

[synreal]

so paint is what, 85-90 bucks (real money) per case?

how far is the field from the sky dome? i know most people attending will not have cars.

[Potatoboy]

assuming 9 cent rounds, and cases of 2000

we get 180 CAD per case.

assuming 1 CAD = 0.628655 USD (www.xe.com) we get 113.158 USD per case. Still very high.

it's a bit of a drive, i'll see what we can do to arange trasport, i'm not realy sure how long it is as i have never gone there form the dome. i have a pickup with a cab so if you don't mind keeping down that will pack a few more in my truck, and i think a good number of the locals who will be there will drive, but i can't say for sure, the other option is to split the cost of a taxi.

depending on the turn out we may be able to squeez them a bit on paint price.

and what's all this about it not being real money?

[Potatoboy]

The paint price does seem a little steep to me. Synreal and I are staying Downtown, not in the dome, so depending on when we do this we might have to leave from there.

And you know what us Americans (especially with us Detroiters being so close to Windsor) think of your Monopoly money...

[synreal]

is paint really 9 cents a ball?

[Muzikman]

Isn't / Wasn't there a place called Paintball City or something along those lines. I stopped by there a few years ago and it wasn't all that far from the dome. I even found it on my own at night with really bad directions

[Drizit]

yah but the field isn't verry good... infact is just sucks. trust me 51 is a much better field. if we want to go saterday after the awards then we could dicuss how we will get there when we get together on friday and saterday.

[synreal]

Is there a chance you could look into getting a bulk rate on paint? 10 cents a ball (canadian or not) is pretty steep.

I'm still very interested though, Saturaday evening/night would be fine by me.

[Drizit]

i'll see what i can do but no promices, and that's about the going rate for paint up here. you do have to factor in shipping, duty and a 15% tax that is already in the price. that's $30 a case just in tax so it's not realy that bad.

[Drizit]

ok unless anyone has any strong objections i'm going to call the field and say that an unknown number of people from AO will be there saterday night after the awards.

if any of you need to get ahold of me my number is :
416-725-5710

once you hit toronto it will be a local call.
