1. PSP Chicago is over, and Boston Red Legion takes the win.
2. PSP announces World Cup, set to go off in October at Fantasy of Flight near Polk City, FL. It’s roughly 20 miles from Kissimmee and Old Towne, so it’s not as big a move as you might think. I do want to thank Keely and Lane for combining the two things most important to me, paintball and aircraft…I didn’t think you guys cared.
3. LCP Scenario Games announces their 2009 Free Finale to be held in early December at Low Country Paintball. The storyline is “Pirates and Ninjas: The Quest for the Brass Monkey”. http://thefordreport.com/2009/06/26/lcps-free-finale-2009-the-quest-for-the-brass-monkey/ for the full info.

7. Cousins Paintball looks to be a happening place, with a 3 man series, Dark Ops scenario games, and $5 Fridays. Also looks like they have a facility in Dallas, TX now…didn’t know that. http://www.cousinspaintball.com
8. APX Paintball says: “APX wants to celebrate its new paint by offering it at an introductory price of a little over $31 (min 3 case order) shipped to your door. Where else can you find a cheap case of paint for that price? No Where! To sweeten the deal we are offering a free APX T’ shirt with every order. This is good for our next 100 orders so act quickly.”
9. The RPL has a deal on Karnage Paint for their RPL Oceanside event.
10. I’m going out to play paintball this weekend. It’s been WAY too long, damnit!
11. E-Money tells me that the RPL also bought 90,000 square feet of Money Turf to use for RPL events. Walker’s just a pimp that way.
12. Got this interesting email from Ed Rieker this week…it inspired me. The results of this inspiration will be up on my site later this evening.
13. It inspired Mike Phillips of TechPB as well…
14. Ian, Ledz, and Co. have introduced new mid-year color options for the Ego 9 called “Moss”, “Azure” and “Embers”, all of which dropped my IQ by about 10 points and made me all giggly.
15. EMR’s Blue says: “The Native Warriors won the epic battle at the JT SPORTS WESTERN WORRS game at EMR this last weekend and drove the Soldiers and Settlers from their land. It was a raging battle all day long with 11 flag stations, multiple missions, and just a whole lot of fun, complete with headfeathers and Colt 45′s. Over 40 young warriors from 6 different states between 10 and 13 played on both sides and never backed down all day long running and gunning with the adults. Love seeing the future of our sport out having a blast at the big games. Team BONEHEADS celebrated their 20th year as a paintball team by hosting the players party and the Rec. center was a rocking late into the night. Thank you to all the players that made this another great event, our excellent ref staff run by Deuce for making the event smooth and fun, and JT SPORTS and TIPPMANN for all the support for the Rec. Ball Players.”
16. JC Leabo from Suicide Guys wants me to tell you shop owners out there about the killer introductory offer for dealers…so give ‘em a call!
17. The Generals at this year’s Free Finale will be donating to a good cause: http://freefinale.com/grog_fund.htm
18. Doom Trooper Matt “HazMatt 2″ Harp lost his battle with cancer. He was 26 years old. http://www.pbjunkie.com/forums/scenario-big-game-5/paintball-lost-another-great-one-today-29125.html?referrerid=450
19. KEE Action Sports’ Jason Kreisman insists that the Invert HALO Too is the best hopper for the money.
20. Kohn Lasering and The 2009 Free Finale joins The Ford Report family of advertisers. Why isn’t your company in the family?
21. Had lunch with Ben Torricelli yesterday. He didn’t yell at me, either.
22. Had a Supervisor riding with me today at my day job…which was quite a bit cooler than it sounds…he found out that I was looking for a new car, so we spent a majority of the day at car dealerships. It was especially rough at the Chevy Dealership…two morons dumbstruck by the 2009 Corvette and 2009 Camaro. It took 4 salesmen and a lot porter to pull me out of the black Corvettte. The $304,000 Mercedes Benz AMG Biturbo we looked over was simply amazing, but I’d rather rock the ‘vette.
