Mardi Gras Open!

[RSUAVE911]

LoL...Sorry Tom...That hat was a tad fruity. Where did you get it from?

[Load SM5]

It was great to meet you as well Tom.

You should know that an industry leader is always a target for the paparazzi. And funny hats are always a crowd pleaser.

[zvanut]

i said i wanted one and i still do!

[Smokee_2_7]

Ice Cold 32,

Lol. Im almost positive that my chrome flammed z-grip mag is the only one like that. Also, im reallly proud of it, and plan on keeping it for a while. - - unless you want to trade an SFL for it.

Tom, It was a pleasure meeting you. Additionally, I throughly enjoyed helping you guys out in any way that I could. Glad To see you made it back safely. Ya know one of the funniest things you did (other than the hat)? Beginning to go into you marketing hat rep. when I pulled out my old Crown Point barrel. ". . . . LET ME tell you about this barrel. . . its the . . bla bal ect.ect."

I wish I had a pic of you holding that barrel, going through your speech, with you 'magic marketing hat' That would have been hilarious.


Anyway, I look forward to meeting all you guys from AGD again. Either at one of the next tournies, or whenever I can get up to Chicago and visit my family up there.

FREE BEER!?!?!?!?!

[Load SM5]

Very free, ice cold and in big cups, all served by a nicely endowed Angel. All for owning an WDP gun, or knowing a guy that does, in my case.

It's not what you know, but who you know that matters..

[cphilip]

your killin me load....

[MikeCouves]

Man I would love to go to one of these huge tourneys. They must be SOO fun. Damn you all and your "fun". Boo hoo . Looks like it was a laugh though.

Tom, that hat will be in APG, PAINTBALL, and PGI faster than you can say oh crap....

[Load SM5]

Hey, I did'nt keep you from going

It'll be there next year, as will I.

[MikeCouves]

Yeah that's true enough...

Oh well when I get like 10000 dollars to go there...pretty expensive from Canada. And I can't show up with a crappy gun .

[Load SM5]

Actually I was talking to Cphilip..You have a good excuse. He already lives in the southern US.

Just kidding Phil. I'm sure you had a great excuse.

Hung over..could'nt find keys or clean underwear.

[cphilip]

No not realy...just a lazy bum with a kid and a wife...and a poor wallet...love N.O. though haven't been in a while maybe next year...now that I know about the FREE BEER!


Ya know...I wonder if they could let me pull my camper into the area? Anyone got any connections to help me do that? I don't need hook ups. I am fully self contained and all.

[Load SM5]

Hell, who needs a camper? Save the gas money and drive a smaller vehicle down and room with Smokee and myself. We're planning on playing next year so any money saved we can use on paint. Hotel are cheap when you start throwing 4 guys in them.

[Manuel_FZR]

Another question: Where can I get those Perspex stands for the markers? They look great (of course the SFL looks much better ).
But this stands would be an appropriate place for my Mini ( and of course for my future Xtreme )

btw: great pics Load

[Smokee_2_7]

Manuel, If your wantin clear stands, try calling airgun and ask john where they got them. Im sure he could tell you.

Phillip, man you gotta go with us next year. After thinking about it for a loooong time (ok, about 1\2 second after I found out about the free beer) I decided that I will be keeping my angel for ever. The perks were just too nice. . . We were hot, tired, and had been walking around the tournament all day. Then - - angel heaven opens up. Ill tell you what, nothing is nicer than being hot and tired like that and getting free icy cold beer served up with a smile. All just because of what kinda gun was in my gear bag. If you come down with us next year, Im sure we can get you in

Cost wise its not that bad. I think a hotel room wound up being 96 bux, but if you divide that out between 4 or 5 people its not bad at all. just a little extra cash for food and bourbon street (ok, if your like me it much more than a little $$ for bourbon street.) The real cost is when you find all this cool stuff at the trade show you just realized you cant live without. . . thats where it gets expensive. Start saving your pennies. lol.
