1. Oklahoma D-Day started this week.
2. Minions report that the rock stars at Valken are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to keep up with everyone mobbing their display at the event…which has it’s own challenges, since it’s hot as hell in Northern Oklahoma in June…been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
3. I’m now able to officially announce that I’ll be one of the presenters at the UK Scenario Paintball Awards which will be happening in November. It’s my first trip to England, and I’m honored that the organizers of the event wanted me involved. Http://www.ukpaintballawards.com for more information
4. I’m also hearing that Valken Rock Stars Greg and Waverly Muller are ‘accidentally’ leaking 2011 gear for people to ‘accidentally’ see. Pity Gino couldn’t make a little ‘oopsie’ and send some along for me to check out…
5. Construction on team Children of the Korn’s bunkhouse starts this weekend at LCP.
6. Blue and Deuce just kicked my door in to drop off this tidbit: “WESTERN WARS at EMR Paintball Park is coming June 26th/27th and preregistration ends this coming weekend. Save $10 on registration and also $5 on every case of paint paid for with preregistration. Be sure to sign up for this fun Western Themed Scenario featuring VIPER leading the Settlers and Soldiers versus SHIELDS commanding the Native Warriors.”
7. Frank Connell and long time friend Lance Naumann are going to be leaving for a trip to Alaska. Why two Florida boys would want to freeze their asses off in Alaska is beyond me, but so long as neither one gets eaten by a bear, all should be well.
8. Hrm…Lance is older and slower than Frank…
9. Money Paintball is proud to announce the Grand Opening of its 5th Franchised Paintball Field: The Paintball Park @Miramar is now open in San Diego CA. For more information check out www.thepaintballpark.com or contact Evan Money directly at 310-750-6219 or evan@evanmoney.com
10. Catshack Reports is in the midst of holding our annual Miss Catshack contest. Go to www.catshackreports.com for more details.
11. No, I don’t care to comment on the bodypainted models at LL3. I wouldn’t mind getting the contact information for some of the girls to see if they’d be interested in posing (slightly) more dressed for Shooting Hot Magazine, though.
12. PBLive.tv is holding a “Treasure Chest Raffle” where a lucky winner could take away some serious goodies. Email info@pblive.tv to get entered.
13. Word has it that the Pinokio F1 loader will be available later this year.
14. ANS Gear has GI Mil-Sim’s .50 caliber loader available: http://www.ansgear.com/G_I_Milsim_50_Caliber_Agitator_Paintball_Loader_p/gimilsimagitatorclear.htm
15. Speaking of .50, I hear tell that Mike Phillips of TechPB fame will be out at Central Florida Paintball trying out some .50 in his SLS.
16. Hrmph! SLS? What the hell, Gerry? Mike is smarter, better looking and a better player than I am, so Planet shows him love and not me? Wait…nevermind…
17. Testing commenced on the Tippmann TPX and LAPCO Grey Ghost this past weekend at Blitzkreig Paintball in North Tampa. Andrew is EXTREMELY nice, and I’m thinking that’ll have to be my local hangout. Which is saying something about the crew out there, since I live less than a mile from another field here in Largo, FL.
18. The Dark Side General for this year’s LCP Finale tells me that she’s procured a secret weapon to counter whatever Waverly and Bambi come up with to try and take her out…
19. Cousins Staten Island is putting on a “Escape From New York” game June 19^th. Check it out, Plissken!

24. You ever have a conversation and you just know that what you’re discussing is something you have to do? I had one of those conversations this week. More as it develops.
25. Special Ops Paintball rolls out their Marauder X Pants and Jersey.
26. My friend Kurt was informed this week that his condition is good enough that he can start “Consolidation Chemo”, which sounds like a dirty word to me, but even though he has to deal with Chemo, he’s that much closer to being done with Leukemia. Given how sick he was, and he’s already getting into the final stages of treatment already it speaks well for his toughness. Keep the prayers coming, please.
