- Here it is Thursday, and I’m still recovering from General’s Cup this past weekend. Jeepers, I think I’m getting old or something…
- My friend Mike Pearlman from L&M Sports had his show trailer stolen this week from his shop in Albany, GA: http://thefordreport.com/2012/05/lm-sports-show-trailer-stolen/
- Apparently the Albany Police are all that and a bag of chips, because the trailer, mostly intact was recovered late last night. Some items are missing, and we’ll be reporting as to what specifically was taken as soon as we get the information.
- Potter dropped by to let me know that Valken Sports is gearing up for Oklahoma D-Day, which is set to go off June 11th-18th. Potter tells me they have some cool things on tap for the event, and that they’re looking forward to helping DeWayne celebrate 15 years of the largest paintball event in the world!
- Propaintball.com reports that the PSP has released the Chicago event field layout.
- Speaking of Chicago, I’m hearing from friends of friends who talk to “them” about a possible new gun coming from Planet Eclipse. Allegedly this new gun will either be on-field at the event in prototype form or an official announcement will be forthcoming. Unfortunately I went cheap on Minions to talk to Ian, Ledz, and Co. about this rumor, and they didn’t return. I suppose it’s time to break out the Terminators…
- Drew and Jarrett both from Machine Paintball are giggling like Japanese Schoolgirls on 5 Hour Energy drinks over how NPPL Chicago went for them. More info as I get it…
- Speaking of Machine, I talked to Mike over the weekend, and he’s hinting around about doing something special for me, but he won’t tell me precisely what.
