Hey everybody! Some of you are probably wondering who the heck is this guy? Well for those of you who had attended the last few games, I was the new guy there in the JT jersey. I'll give you all a quick back ground on myself. I'm from the LaPorte area and have been playing paintball since 2000. I used to play and work at Got-ya! paintball in Niles, MI. until they closed in 2003. There I did some gun(marker) tech stuff, reffing, and sales. I played on a small tournament team in 2003 call FM. After they closed, I played at Paintball Heat in Plymouth and some at Sherwood in LaPorte. I took the 2007 season off and started back playing again in '08 at the Tippmann World Challenge at Hell Survivors in MI. So this is me!To get rolling here, I would like to say Welcome to the 2009 paintball season. I have been keeping in contact with Jason a.k.a. Nightstalker through out the winter. We have been discussing what's up for '09. Well, we have started construction on 1 of the 2 pallet forts we have been talking about. It is located where the high-low was at the east end of the field. We decided to build there because H-L was in need of replacing. If all goes well, which it looks as it is, we will have this one done by the season opener!
With that, it brings me to this. If the weather is looking good our 1st game will most likely be Sunday April 19. I know I can't wait! The rest of the season looks like every other weekend after that. We will get the exact schedule up asap. I am hoping for a night game that starts as soon as its dark but we need to work lots of details out on that. If you are interested in that let us know!
On a little bit of a sad note, there has been some vandalism at the field over the winter. A few things are missing and a couple of things need to be fixed, but we should be ready to go in April. If any one knows who happened to be behind it please let us know.
With that out of the way, I am proud to announce that we will be having a vendor at the games. Grimm City Sports, a new company, has agreed to bring their mobile store to sell supplies on game days. If there is any items you are needing or new gear you want to get, let us know and we will see about them getting it. They will have paint for sale at the field along with other paintball related items. If there is some particular brand of paint you like, and want them to stock it, you can tell us or email them at grimmcitysports@yahoo.com.
I know times are a little rough with the economy and all, but getting out to do something you enjoy is always a plus! Don't let it get you down, because life is too short not to enjoy it. Now that I'm just rambling on about nothing, I would just like to say this. I can't wait to get out and play and meet you all out on the field this season! We will keep you all posted and updated with happenings as soon as we hear about them. So, oil up your markers and blow the dust off your gear, and we'll see all our friends at the field!
Greaper
