The general idea of BAFF is to get a Bay Area (San Franscisco to San Jose) Nerf war once a month. Generally, it will be on the second Saturday of every month. If you have anything to say other than that you are attending, please send it out on the email list instead of posting here.
BAFF #9

Date: June 19th

Time:11 a.m. is when the first round will start, try to get to the field by 10:45 . We meet at the picnic table area.

ATTENDANCE: ......Please confirm if you are in or not
DEFINITE:
Just Some Bob
Hippopotamus
Aquinas
Blue
Nerfman600 +2
b1g13en +3
Nerfer9 +1
NOT COMING:

Samzilla
William Cann Memorial Park, Union City, California 94587


The general plan is to get something going once a month for any bay area nerfers.

General directions:(Thanks Aquinas)
This is assuming that you are coming from I-880:

1. Exit 23 for Alvarado Niles Road
2. EASTBOUND on Alvarado Niles Road (I-880 NORTHBOUND = RIGHT turn, I-880 SOUTHBOUND = LEFT turn; hope it make sense)
3. RIGHT turn onto Hop Ranch Road
4. Hop Ranch Road curves left and turns into Marsh Hawk Road; parking for the park will be all along the right side of Marsh Hawk.

[Hippopotamus]

Slap me down for the 19th!

[Aquinas]

I'm a go for the 19th, and no, there won't be any surprise wedding invitations. I won't make it on the 26th.

If it isn't too much trouble for Blue, it might be good to simply put up another thread for BAFF 10 on June 26th, and run another attendance list there. I feel it'll keep things organized and straight-forward.

While it may be strange to have two active posts for BAFF Outings at the same time, I think of this as more of an unique circumstance; I think it'll be a while before we have BAFF Outings on back-to-back weekends (every other weekend during the summer months might be more feasible). I also like our numbering system and wish to keep the continuity going. It's a great and simple way to chronicle our progress, and it'd be a while before we get to the triple-digits anyway. The fact that we're up to BAFF 9 since last September with above-average attendance each time is quite amazing.

[nerfman600]

I am in for 19th and 26th and +2 for both.

[Blue]

Alright, I guess I'll make a BAFF 9b thread later tonight.

[Aquinas]

The "BAFF 9B" is a very smart idea. Well done Bob.

[HOTH]

Sorry, not going to be able to make this one.

[Samzilla]

Can't make this one, I need to find out if i can make 9b. Wow I've definitely been outta the loop.

[Blue]

Attendance updated, I know many of you plan to go and haven't posted here, so please post here to confirm. Thanks!

[nerfer9]

I'll be there with a guest.

[b1g13en]

I think i can make it to both baff9 and 9b with 3 guests.

[nerfer9]

Alright guys, 24 hours to go. No bailing out on me. Unfortunately, it looks like my guest won't actually be there. I'm still planning on going. Make sure to bring your darts and guns. And remember, it can't hurt to lube your gun a little before you show up tomorrow. See you on the battlefield!

[Aquinas]

I got a hold of Jman, and unfortunately he has to work, so he's a no go. I don't think his guest will be coming either.

I'll be there. Car's still not fixed, but this is yet another opportunity to utilize our wonderful public transportation system.

See all ya'll tomorrow today!

[nerfer9]

I'm going to be late, I didn't wake up until a few minutes ago.

[Hippopotamus]

I'll probably be there t 11:30. And Jake, I have the two everbuilts, but my arrowstorm doesn't wanna open up, I can give you a few other springs to compensate.

[b1g13en]

We had 18 people and not a single one posted yet o.O? The war was fun but it took too long to go from round to round because of trading or whatever was going on. Also please don't bring stuff you want to sell or trade for future wars just bring what you are going to use. If you guys want to trade do it online or BAMPS but not during BAFF it just takes too much time out of the day.

[jakejagan]

Yeah, I saw that too. I will try next week to pretty much stop useless trading.

[Hippopotamus]

>CHOCOLATE PUDDING!

Flamingos!
Shopping cart tank!
CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Great war even though our usual area was taken, we tried some new terrain. Quadshot worked nicely, and most importantly everyone had a good time. Let's try to do abut more on dart sweeping, just look on the ground when you are walking back and you'll find a bunch. Hope to see you all this Saturday.
