Yeah, that's the part i don't like is the prayer so much, i wouldn't mind breaking my spyder out again though.

You need a membership to get into promised land? Anyway i'd be up for a game there, dunno when i could go though, after the 20th i'm free and then not again until christmas break probably.

[grEnAlEins]

christmas break probably.

I am in Boston till then :)

[snoopay700]

can anyone validate or discredit this rumor?

It is with great sadness and many other emotions that I can Validate this.

As of the end of this Month the field will be Closing.[per contact with Nikki the field owner]

This really hits me hard as it is my home field and where I Played my first GAME of Paint Ball
back in the day of 1985. It is also the home field of AGD. We did much beta testing there for all the new products and it truly was a ground breaking field for advancements in the Game and new techno. It always was a safety first field and to this day I compare other fields I play at to the standards Paintball Sams taught me and followed. It is a sad thing indeed.

Here is a little more insight for the wonderers, it seems that business has been trailing gradually, the lease on the land has issues and bills and costs are rising. The economy and dwindling customer base has not helped. She is tired of it all and ready to move on.[retire]

My ode to PAINTBALL SAM'S

You taught me SAFTY first, Fair play and FUN for all. You knew what the standards were and followed them. One pull one shot and no modes allowed. You had rules and enforced them.
If I didnt like it I could leave. Nobody left cause we liked it like that. Even thow we will not Play there together again the many many many memories, lessons learned and fun fun fun times will live for ever by many of us.

My best wishes always.

Man, this sucks. This really sucks, i'm finally old enough to work there and i work for one summer. Man, i'm going to really miss that place man. I wish they didn't lie about it and were just up front about it, especially since i'm on their payroll. Oh well, i'm glad sam and i could help them go out with a bang and give away a mag again. Man, this feels horrible...

I wish I had a little more notice. I'd really love to make the trip north for one more game on those fields.
