Some pics of the 09 ego and the new gun, the geo. Notice how geo is an anagram of ego. The geo kind of looks like a mini and an ego had a baby.

PSP tried this once before, I think it was at PSP Chicago last year, but this time viewers must pay an unmentioned price to be able to watch the feed. The PSP webshow will be online from Friday Otober 24, 2008 to Sunday October 26, 2008. The layout of the show is pretty much like the NPPL webshow; pro field footage, interviews with pros, and sneak peaks at new products. The hosts of the show are Patrick Spohrer, maker of MWAG films, and Matty Marshall, pro player and the face of paintball on tv.

Playing San Diego and need a place to stay, well NPPL has made deals with Town and Country Resort and Doubletree Club Hotel.
Town and Country seems like it’s your regular hotel: room service, tv/cable, coffee maker, and whatever else is in a decent hotel. Unfortunately, wifi is not free. The hotel is only minutes away from Qualcomm Stadium via the Light-rail Trolley system.
Price: $119/night with NPPL deal
Doubletree Club offers a choice of 2 queen sized beds or 1 king, a large ergonomic desk w/chair, fridge, and spa bathrooms with aromatherapy bath amenities. Doubletree is also only minutes away from Qualcomm Stadium.
Price: $115/night with NPPL deal
Don’t forget, NPPL also has a deal with Motel 6. Motel 6 is always a place to stay for a player on a budget.

Since Hurricane Ike forced NPPL to cancel the Houston event, some problems have occurred. From what I have been told, top of the line paint is made specifcally for national events (ie X-ball gold, ultra evil). The paint companies made truckloads of paint for the Houston event but for obvious reasons, were not able to sell their paint. So as of now, the paint companies have tons of paint and nothing to do with it. I’ve been told that the local fields and stores have not been contacted for paint sales from the paint companies, thus leaving me to believe that all the paint made for Houston was a waste of money and resources.
Also, many teams paid for NPPL Houston but since the event was a no go, refunds are in order. The only thing is that NPPL seems to be slacking with the refunds. NPPL is offering refunds to teams but apparently it’s taking a while, as in it’ll take at least a week before refunds are administered, at least that’s what my team was told. Another option that NPPL is offering is to transfer team payments to payments for NPPL San Diego. It’s not a bad idea but from what I saw, the majority of divisional teams were from Texas so I’m thinking that they wanted to play NPPL Houston because it’s relatively close to where they live and would not have to pay for a flight. If they were to transfer their money to San Diego, then teams would have to get more money for flights, request time off from work, and figure out school arrangements.
