Being the first person home (sick kids) I guess its my job to start the thread. There were a 15 or so AO Norcal folks at this meet, with a lot of extra people showing up with the various AO members.
I'm sure we will post the various war stories, but the highlight of the day, and Im sure the video will make the rounds, was Z-man hooking his RT directly up to a scuba tank with about 2500 psi in it, and putting a victory board halo on top. Despite some choppage, it will be hard to refute the mag's status as the absolute speed-king after seeing this video. The only limiting factor was the fact that the RT had the powerfeed, which is not the Halo's best friend. Z-man is supposed to try using a ULE'd X-valve mech mag in a little while, using paint that ISNT made in an almost third-world country, so that may turn out even better. But even with the RT, the ROF that thing was putting out defies imagination.
Yays and blahs (subject to later revision)
Yays:
-Generally held my own, which isnt always the case
-Running to the 50 repeatedly off the break and living!
-Watching the aforementioned Z-man event
-Viking running perfectly, as usual
-Finding out that various people were complaining that Z-man and I were shooting full-auto
-Great friends, great games
-Meeting new AO Norcal folks such as ZapTheMad and son, among others
Blahs:
-Missing the traditional Chevy's dinner
-Ref team that seemed to be ex-members of an SS Division, giving Zak crap about his gun AGAIN! (AGAIN, do it AGAIN! AGAIN!) Some people will always have problems with mags. I especially loved the part where Zak asked what ROF cap would be acceptable, and was told not to push his luck. Nice. ACHTUNG, NICHT SHIESSEN! GEHST DU AUF, SCHNELL!
-SCP's typical mass crowds. 32 people on a 10 man field doesnt do too well. At one point off the break, I got to my bunker, where I was joined by 5 other people, in a 2 man bunker. I just stood up and shot at people until getting hit. Lame.
-Getting to the 50 one game, and rocking it, until I was bunkered in the head. It was then that I figured out that my whole team had been shot out, and I had no clue.
-Aegis lounging around and not playing. Slacker!
-Blennidae's defective pager. BTW, I just sold my stock in intel...
All in all, a great day, though Im not too hip on going back to SCP til they add some more fields, or the refs to use them all at one time.

I figured out how to reboot it and it started functioning correctly. Which basically describes what I do for a living...
