PRZ Prep - The Anticipation Mounts

On My Way:

One more notice about the event before it's too late...

This weekend is the second "Fight For Asylum" season opening event at PRZ Paintball in Picton, Ontario. As many of you know, I'm going to be there and its going to be one hell of a blast. I hope that a couple of you will be in attendance (I know a few will as there are Asylum Assassins members reading the blog) and if you see the Assassins there that you will come over and ask to chat with me. I'd love to take some photos, get to know anyone who's taken the time to read my blog so you can be sure I'll probably drop everything to say hello.

As a disclaimer, no, I don't feel like some kind of celebrity just because I write this... I just think that a couple of my readers would be nice enough to stop by, say hello and let me take a picture or two for my articles on here... And I wanted to make a funny photo.

Long Black Train:

I had plans to take the train to and from Belleville however that plan's been modified. I'll now be catching a lift straight from Oshawa to PRZ and then I'll be riding the rails back home.

I WISH my ride would look this nice...

The trick to train transportation is to travel light and that means you've got to be smart. Most people don't like the train, feeling that it's archaic or outdated or some damned thing but me? I rather enjoy it when the trip doesn't involve spending the night on-board without a sleeper car.  Back to the whole packing thing, here's a little tip. If you want to cut down on baggage claim costs, go with a package with two checked bags on your departure trip and then only one on your return. Bring a solid cooler and a collapsible duffel bag so that you can eat the supplies from the cooler and then pack your clothing etc. back into the cooler for the return journey. Of course you'll need to test your gear to see if this is a viable option with whatever cooler you have but if it is, knock yourself out and save some money.

Another thing you should know is that on the whole, taking the train's not that costly. The only real inconveniences are the scheduled departure/arrival times if you've got friends for short-range transportation from the station to the field. I've taken VIA Rail a number of times for different reasons and it's always been a pleasant experience.

DRAW!

This is where I get all super 'aggro' and tell you stuff like "I'll see you on the field!" and "your taint is paint!" (Okay, that one didn't sound as good outside of my head... moving on) in an attempt to posture and 'trash talk' a little... NAH, it's where I wrap up this post and make a last attempt at getting y'all out to this amazing event. For details on the Fight For Asylum event and many more check out www.przpaintball.com under the events section.

I hope you've enjoyed this little insight into what's shaping up to be an amazing popping of my paintball cherry. Here's hoping I manage to pull off some insane moves... Or at least not get painted like a picket fence. Either way I intend to remember to have fun and most importantly...

Keep calm and throw paint!
