  1. Had a phone conversation with George Spurlock today, where he related to me that ANS Xtreme is now the official west coast distributor for Torques, and while he’s still recovering from surgery, they’re also able to fill Hard Corps orders as needed.  Mr. Spurlock also wanted to thank everyone who sent their letters, emails, and prayers before, during, and after his procedure.
  2. It’s a paintball baby boom!  Camille and Travis Lemanski welcomed daughter Gabriella Jean into the world, while TechPB’s Mike Phillips and wife Jen welcomed twin daughters Madison and Rebecca.  Both moms are doing fine, and both dads are proud as punch.
  3. Dawn Allcot is still pregnant, with a due date of October 2nd.  She thinks this one will be early, while TJ is thinking late.  Minions are standing by to take pictures of the baby once he or she arrives.  Because my Minions tend to take orders literally, I specified that the baby picture would be taken once it arrives in the incubator, NOT during the delivery itself.
  4. The GPL has released a picture of their 4th event winners:  http://www.thegpl.com/images/Winners4.jpg
  5. Thanks to Hurricane Ike, NPPL Houston was cancelled.  Our thoughts and prayers are with those coping with the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.

  8. The tension is growing…who’s going to win AXBL? Who’s going to win CXBL? Who is going to be the North American Xtreme Champion…USA or Canada?  The event of the year is just over a week away at Dairen Lake Theme Park and Resort!!!  www.xball.com for more details.
  9. The 2-time NXL championship team Philly Americans take first place at German Millennium Series tournament.
  10. The Smart Corps factory team is picking sides…they’re going to be on the “World” side at the Tippmann vs. The World Challenge this year.

  12. The PSP has released a list of who’s who (so far) that’s going to be at the World Cup Trade Show.
  13. Guerilla Air is runing a nice special on Myth Regs/70ci CF bottles if you’re looking…

  22. In case you’ve forgotten, the Juliana Benefit Game at Camp Blanding is next weekend…I’ll be there along with the Tiny Blonde Goddess playing, covering and generally making everyone involved famous.  Sadly, I’m going to be on the side opposing Rich Struth of PBJunkie.Com.  I suspect that it’ll be a well-photographed duel to the death between me and Rich on-field.  Fortunately for me, I’ll have Doom Troopers and South Beach Pimps backing me up.
  23. There’s going to be a Player Appreciation Dinner at the SPPL Finals…so make sure to bring your appetite, because we know how to cook here in the Deep South!
  24. Recruitment for the Free Finale at LCP has begun. Both Generals have never been defeated, one will walk away undefeated still….are you a MAN or a MOUSE? Join us Dec 13-14th and find out.  The South Beach Pimps and I have already been recruited by Sideshow, which is very cool, but it’s going to suck having to go against Doom Troopers.  They don’t play around.
