Party at MAO

I wish there was a player party like this in Chicago or Phoenix. There was a player party in Chicago but it was a bbq held at the field; definitely not as cool sounding as partying downtown. If PSP had held a party downtown with drink specials, I probably would have had not spent a third of my paint money. Also, this player party is on Saturday night so the teams that make Sunday can’t stay out all night.

Bad News Paintball and Paintball Sports Promotions present this year’s MAO Players Party! The 21 and over party will be held Saturday, August 14th starting at 8:30 PM at one of downtown Charlotte’s hottest bars, the Town Tavern Charlotte

There will be drink specials all night for all paintball players along with giveaways, loud music and videos. Be sure to come out and hang with the pros and meet some of the industry vendors. At the door mention BAD NEWS, PSP or PAINTBALL for free admission all night long.

Stop by the Bad News booth in the PSP MAO Trade Show to set up a cab ride home
