Lets firm up our plans for this weekend. Are you guys in (not for the tourney, just for ordinary play?)

[[AK]Faxman]

I'm ready for an ordinary day of play.

[[AK]The Beast]

Sounds like a plan to me. Where and when (time, not date, I'm not a complete illiterate )?

[[AK]Squidly]

Lets meet at my place...a little earlier so we can work on Fax's gun. Say 8am?

Then we'll drive back down south to exit 4 and play at Paintball Invasion. Rain or shine we'll get some speedball in.

[[AK]Faxman]

Should I plan on buying field paint or bring my own?

[[AK]Squidly]

It's a difficult question to answer. Here's the variables:

If you use your own paint - it's a $10 surcharge on price of admission.

If you play indoors, you have to use white fill paint (which they sell.)
You can use your own white fill paint, but you incur the $10 surcharge.

The best thing to do is probably bring your own paint (white fill if possible) then make the call whether or not to play indoors (and pay the $10) based on the weather.

Do you have your hopper yet?

[[AK]Faxman]

Lucky me, I already have some white fill paint. I have my hopper, and I Z boarded it already. My pack, pods and jersey should be here by the weekend (I hope).

[[AK]The Beast]

Wait--so if we bring our own paint (any variety) and play outdoors, $10 surcharge...if we bring our own white paint and play indoors, $10 surcharge. Sounds like not much of a decision--I'm going to ECX tomorrow to pick up a case of white fill. (And some kneepads. Gotta get some kneepads.)

[[AK]Squidly]

You got it right, Beast. $10 surcharge for your own paint. They get a lot of people to buy fieldpaint with that "only white indoors" stuff.
