I just wish I was. Sorry for the lack of postage today. Jenn with two 'n's is getting married soon and I participated in the sophmoric ritual of taking her financee out for a night of drunken debauchery. Our party started on Saturday morning at about 8:00 AM. We played paintball, where I got to put all of my shooting experience to good use. After a long hard day of crawling around on the ground, cussing and beating my defective paintball gun, and running like hell to avoid the fury of paint coming in my direction, we hit the DC night life in our tricked out Mac Daddy-mobile; a superlong 24 passenger stretched Cadillac Escalade. The partying didn't end until about 4 AM on Sunday, so needless to say I am still a little weary.
Overall it was a successful night. Nobody was arrested, very few things were broken, and only a few people threw up.

Obviously, you are using an entirely different set of metrics than those with which I gauge my social events.

What did you think of paitnball?
I like paintball. It is good supplimental combat training that is just plain fun. The big problem with it is the guns are very delicate and it is so expensive to do. Plus, there's only a small window in the year you can play. Too hot out and you can't wear much covering and too cold out and your gun freezes up.
It was a lot of fun. It was my first experience, and I'm happy we had a private field. Judging by the people who showed up with thousands of dollars in specialized equipment, I would have been easy pickings with a rental gun.
The place we went had lots of different fields to play on. Since I'm a rather large target, the heavily wooded areas were my favorite.
