1. PSP Chicago kicked off today officially, and will continue through the weekend.

3. And a couple of weeks after that I’ll be partying off other parts of my body at the Redneck Luau being held at Low Country Paintball. Sign up for the party at http://www.lcpscenariogames.com

10. Blue left Deuce at home this week when he came over for the weekly door kicking in routine: “With the new acquisition of the only accounted for Nelspot Marker used in the very first Paintball Game for the Museum at EMR Paintball, we are looking for a paintballer that is also a licensed antique appraiser to establish it’s value for insurance purposes. Please spread the word and anyone that fits this description, please contact BLUE at BLUE@EMRPaintball.com . This marker was donated by Jerry Braun for an auction at CPX LIVING LEGENDS III event to benefit our founding father Bob Gurnsey who is going through some really rough medical times and we would like to thank everyone that contributed to PBNation and MCarterBrown to make this happen. All together over $12,000 was raised to help Bob.”

Everyone at Dark Sports would like to wish Andy all the best in his future career. Come and stop by the stand at Campaign Cup and wish him well buy him a beer or buy something from the stand so he can earn a little bit of commission before he bows out!”
20. I found out that the hotel I’m going to be staying at in the UK later this year for the UK Scenario Awards is a hop, skip and a jump away from a Hooter’s restaurant. Who knew there’d be such a thing as English Hooter’s girls?

22. The Ferrymen have lost one of their own. This is what “G” had to say: “I just wanted to pass along the sad news that Jeff “Hammerhead” Recor of the Ferrymen Paintball Team lost his battle with stage four cancer early Friday morning surrounded by his friends and family. Jeff was a great teammate, husband, father, and friend and touched so many lives with his charming personality and helping spirit. Jeff took an active interest in supporting the American Cancer Society as well as the Special Olympics and he will definitely be missed! You can contact Jeff’s friends and family at: http://www.facebook.com/hammerhead.ferrymen or www.ferrymenpaintball.com . Jeff’s spirit will live on in all of us! Donations in his memory may be made to the Hope House in Burlington, Vt., or to the Clinton County Relay For Life. Arrangements are being handled by the R.W. Walker Funeral Home, 69 Court St., Plattsburgh.
