[Bonx0007]

well talking doesn't move mountains folks.

[deded]

most likely... (pray for my UC application ) I'll be going to UCSD next year, and while this isn't in time for the tourney, I hope I'll be able to play with you guys if/when I make the move to socal... hopefully by LA 03 we could rock 'em!

[toymyster]

Hey, that sounds great!!!! I live in LA, and I think my team just disbabded!!!!! Count me in!!!!

[Bonx0007]

So far we have

(1)*Dirtybunny
(2)*Bonx0007(me)
(3)*Chaos
(4)*toymyster
(5)*zads27
(6)deded(maybe)based on what you said
(7)Miscue(maybe)based on what you said
(8)Graycie(maybe)based on what you said
the numbers are for counting purposes only.

well that is at least five plus extra. You got what you needed.What now?

[toymyster]

Looks like we'll have a team!!!! Please, do keep me posted, and let's get the ball rolling on this!!! The sooner we start practicing, the better our chances!!!!

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Does anyone have a preference as far as Tombstone or SC Arenas? And do both have Hyperball style fields we can practice on? (I know SC does but i've never been to Tombstone and don't know if they'd let us play on the fields by ourselves to practice..)

[DiRTyBuNNy]

oh..does anyone know how to get ahold of Tom, because i was going to ask him if we could use the AGD logo to put on jerseys..kinda like how the pro's have them on theirs..I've dealt with Animal Paintball in the past and i was thinking about asking them if they could work with me on jerseys..i know this is way in advance but it usually takes some time to get everybody together and money and to get the jerseys back...something with the AGD logo somewhere on the jersey..with maybe Team AO on it and our names and numbers...not trying to get ahead of myself...but if nobody minds i'd like to kind of try to be the glue that holds this together..i'm not asking to be captain or anything..i'll just make the phone calls and try and get everything all worked out so this can go smooth as silk and all we have to do is play.

if anyone has any questions, ideas or just wants to contribute...you can email me at [email protected]

p.s. I know Graycie lives on the other side of the country but i just PM'd her to ask if she would like to join the team officially for the tourney as long as she doesn't have any other prior playing commitments. thanks.

[Bonx0007]

Sounds like the glue will work out just fine. I have only run a wrestling team. I am not an experienced tourney player so please step forward Octomis Prime(general term for any good captain) and lead us!

P.S. I can get paintballs for buy one get one free from a store on ventura blvd. It is 75 a case. Their called #1 Paintballs. Never heard of them but for practice paint that comes out to 37.50 per case. just in case you all are looking for a decent deal on some paint.

I bet miscue has the number for tom's bat phone. Maybe he could get a hold of Tom for us.

[toymyster]

As far as practice goes, SC or Jungle Island are best bets!!! It's easier to skirmish at SC, and Jungle is great to run drills and what not!!! I have yet to be impressed by Tombstone!!! However, those are details!!! As far as jerseys go, I know we can get a good deal through Paintball Junkies directly, I know the owner and half of the guys there!!! They offer a players package, with 2 Jerseys, pants, gloves and I think a pack, but I'm not sure, I can find out!!!! As far as getting hold of Tom, I have gotten a hold of him by leaving him a question on this board before!!!

[toymyster]

I know that paint well, It's not the greatest, the store you speak of is I believe XS sports!!! They also get seconds in for about $30 a case, And usualy it's better that the #1 stuff!!! They also have stores all over the place!!!

[Bonx0007]

XS Paintball---exactly
I will probably be getting my paint there.
My budget is a tad limited and it might be a slight struggle during the holidays for me with cash but after thats I will be able to come up with cash easier. Anyway, do any of you guys live in chatsworth or near the area. if so I would be glad to car pool anyone who doesn't drive to practice.

[Minimag4me]

i would be in for the 2003 one next year because i am 15 now and i have no ride or money(if someone wants to fund me and give me a ride to practices and stuff im in, ha). I always go to XS and PPC in lake forest for my paint and stuff. I have no tourny experience but i have been playing for 3-4 years.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

HHHmmm....looks like we're off and running..i guess i just have to get everyone's opinion on where we're going to play..i'm willing to make the trek anywhere..so..it's up to everyone else..i may do a poll to see what ya'all think...hey ToyMyster, if you get a chance to talk to the PJ guys see what they could do..i think we'd be better off with a lettered jersey (or 2), pants, and gloves..i don't need a pack, but if anyone else does i'm sure we can figure it out..PM me and we'll talk a little more in private...

[Vegeta]

I would if i lived in that area, and owned a mag . hey, 500$ is only 50$ between 10 ppl. and if its byop, thats even better.

BYOP = bring your own paint i thought. Or Buy your own paint? im assuming bring.

[Bonx0007]

we you do post let me know the location because that is my concern. other than that I am cool with it. it would be nice to find a field that would not charge us to practice but i am sure i am dreaming on that one.
