1. For those of you who’re just coming out of a cave, KEE Action Sports bought JT this week.
2. Extravaganza was this week as well, and KEE personnel were seen walking around in JT goodies.
3. Shooting Hot Magazine had reps there as well, and it would appear that the diet of Shark Steaks, Grizzly Bear Jerky, and Raw Lion Meat had the desired affect. We’ll be announcing soon who took advantage of Billy and I’s escape from our strait jackets and took advantage of our disconnect with reality.
4. I think this is the neatest paintball commercial promoting a game that I’ve seen in a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7PGtBS1MCc

7. John Navarro from the South Beach Pimps says: “South Beach Pimps don’t necessarily rely on how effective Camo is… but have adopted V-Tac Marpat Jerseys to match their Planet Eclipse Dig-E cam pants. It’s almost a dead solid match! Maybe now opponents won’t know where they got shot from, LMAO!”
8. Planet Eclipse unveiled several new Ego 10 colors this past week. The “Charge” in particular makes me all giggly.

21. According to GI Mil-Sim’s Joey Decaire, Lasoya’s butt is “Epic”.
22. I’ve also seen pictures of the Lasoya “Stripper” Nano, so it really does exist!
23. Then she made the mistake of claiming Max Lundquist. The Tiny Blonde Goddess is en route to Canada right now to fight for him with Joey. Hopefully jello or pudding will be involved…

Mr. Kosick described why Tippmann is staying with 68 caliber paintball. During the interview Mr. Kosick also discussed the impact that 50cal is having on the recreational paintballer as well as whether Tippmann will ever create their own line of markers in this new format.”

32. For those of you out in So-Cal, Jungle Island is rolling out a new tournament complex, managed by Shawn Walker. As badass as their rec-ball field is, I’m interested to see how the tournament complex turns out…I wonder if Gunny is taking good care of my Corvette?

It was very peaceful. This is this the best way that I know to let our paintball family know.”
40. My Sainted Mother reports that my Sainted Father will be undergoing outpatient surgery March 10^th. Nothing life threatening, but it’s an issue that needs to be addressed.
