Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream a reality. We are going to Grand Open this weekend, and I hope that what has been accomplished here over the last 16 weeks really shows what we have done, and plan to do.

I have a lot of people to thank...

Bill "Beef" Dean, a local 518 paintballer, Albany Marshal, and co-owner of Albany Scenario Club, has recently fallen ill. On behalf of the ASC/518 community I want to wish Bill all the best and a speedy recovery. We look forward to trading paint with you again soon!

Feel free to leave well wishes for Bill in the comments section. I'll make sure he sees them.

From this point on starting this coming weekend 4/25 Saturday, Albany Scenario Club will be open for OPEN PLAY for the 2009 paintball season. Every Saturday & Sunday is open play except for big events which are already scheduled.... There are weekend days that the field will be closed during large events at other 518 area paintball fields, watch the schedule for those days....

This coming Saturday, the field will be open for regular business. I will be at EMR for Castle Conquest (and I will be shamelessly promoting ASC while I am there). Tooch will be on hand, and Kamikaze will be there to help out for regular game play, in my place. So feel free to come out, bring your leftover paint, and have some fun. I'll be back on Sunday for more of the same.

The work continued. As players beat each other to pulps at West Point, I decided that I needed to keep the momentum moving at ASC, and I headed back to the field to complete more work.
