On Saturday I attended Brian’s TAC08 airsoft convention at the FACT facility and it was great. The team (well Phil mainly) had decided to set up a table at the last minute and while I was doubtful at how things would go, I have to say it turned out very well. Heh aside from the retailers, I think it’s safe to say that the GHOSTS had the most impressive table that day. 😉

Attendance topped out at 200+ people and man at times you really felt like sardines in a can! Anyway for most of the day I was at the team table fielding questions from newbie/novice players, which was quite fun and watching people oogle the various guns and toys on display. Jason’s toys definitely garnered the most attention but that’s not a surprise, the pulse rifle and CA M249 para look very nice. The more experienced players definitely moved towards Mario’s Systema M4A1 PTW. A few people noticed my ghillied up L96 but as JR said, it’s camo’ed and people can’t see it. 😉 Besides guns, Steve had made up a few team posters and they looked absolutely awesome. Pictures do not do them justice and it really made our team look very professional. 😀

Later in the day there was a bit of a “fashion” show and while we lost out to the Contras (who really are prettier) I still think we had the crowd in our favor. 🙂 Not all was lost, I was able to beat out Bartek in the special forces impression. Anyway here are some pics from the day…

All in all a great day, I didn’t do any shooting this weekend but still had a very fun time showing off toys and talking to people. 😀
