Whirlyball 2006
While most people were out drinking green beer, the cool kids were at Whirlyball in Lombard, IL.
The lighting was not very good for photos, unfortunately. Either they were too dark or out of focus, or both. The video turned out pretty good, though.

Blast Camp Paintball
October 8, 2005
‘Nuff said.
OK, OK, maybe there’s more to say. Like it was a bunch of fun. But you knew that. I should say that my still camera gave up the ghost that morning, so I was unable to take regular pictures. And I am too lazy to go through the video and make still captures.
But this year we introduced the “gun cam”, a small camera placed above the barrel of our own DarthGoat’s marker. And Thom takes a header, complete with face-plant-feet-in-the-air. It’s classic.
