Official Shatnerball 06 Thread

[AGD]

Guys,

Great to see that everyone is so excited!! Yes Bill is going to play Montgomery and I am the back up plan to play Rommel unless we get other celebs.

We are struggling trying to get the price of paint down for this event by signing on a big sponsor. This is a bit complicated and we are in negotiations now. We are well aware that CA is all bring your own paint and you can buy it cheap but this is a charity event and the paint money is what goes to the kids.

Bill is in Europe right now but he will send out the letters personally to the other celebs when he gets back. The letters are ready to go and I PROMISE you if we get them everyone will go nuts, heck I will go nuts!! Just so you know they are not top name people but from shows you love for their antics. Not being top flight there is a much better chance of signing them up.

When the right time comes I will (god voice) "FLEX THE POWER OF AO" and have you guys go flood their fan sites with requests to participate. That should lock them in....

Don't sell yourself short. I've seen more people on a paintball field who know Tom Kaye over William Shatner.

I've been talking to the wife and we might have to jump ship with Bill and play German..... (she has some German/Russian background in her family - that she said the germans were always better dressers/uniforms)

And TINA - will chat with you later about going out there and dinner/dancing/etc

Other cool stuff

When I used to play at War Zone (right down the 15 from JI and a loooonnnnng time ago with PMI 10-shot pump guns no less) there were a few guys who had some vintage aircraft (I think two P-51 Mustangs and an ME-109) that would occasionally buzz the field. Not real low, probably about 1000-2000 feet. It was the best! Even at that alt they were VERY LOUD! As I remember they flew out of Chino. Anyway, a cool addition to the day would be a flyover by these guys... if they're still around. I mean, if they're up in the air anyway why not come by? There's also a vintage B-17 I've seen fly out of Long Beach but that's all I know about them. If any of these guys/planes could make an appearance that just might augment the inflow a bit. Just an idea.

BTW, my wife and I wouldn't mind being German, too. This whole set-up made her think of Fightclub and the "I'd fight William Shatner," scene. Are players assigned sides? Would groups be split up when sides are assigned?

That would be really cool with the fly bys! In 2004 Billy boy and company arrived in Model T cars (hey it was gangster themed!)

Normally you would pick a side when you prereg. If things get unbalanced they usually say so and after that point you get assigned. So when they open the gates ... SIGN UP EARLY!

ao

[tribalman]

i plan on going on tom's side for this shatnerball. i've wanted to go to the previous but i didn't have the cash, this time i do. i'm bringing my emag and maybe my p-90mag(if i get it working). my main problem is the tank, i know some people offered to bring them to the field, but that still concerns me. are there any paintball stores very close by? i just may buy a new tank when i get there and ship it home afterwards.

*edit* i'll probably just wander aroudn looking for a store once i get there.

[Rudz]

yup

a cc paintball shop in corona..another in norco..gramps and grizzlies in riverside..all very close..

[sapper96]

stores

Paintball stores

There's one called AA Paintball @ Pierce and the 91 behind Farmer Boys (fast food place) in Riverside. Great place, good people, excellent prices (20oz CO2 fill only $1). Not super close to JI but closer than Gramp & Grizzlys. G&G is good too but expect to end up talking to Gramp awhile if it's not busy... great guy, but he's a talker!
