SPPLAT Attack!--the largest ever paintball game. Tomorrow hundreds of Federation paintballers will take the field for eight hours of glory against Klingon hordes and Borg legions outside of Chicago (details) led by the inimitable Cap'n James T. Kirk himself! (Onion interview :) "If the weather holds, I will set sail with this 70-pound lawn mower engine on my back, run like hell, float the parasail, gain flying speed and fly into the venue," wow :)

i've never been much of a Star Trek fan, and i haven't played paintball in about a decade. That said, i would love to be able to attend this. What a wonderful merger of totally dissimilar ideas.

And it's for charity, excellent.

I heart William Shatner.

(I used to mock, sure, but after this, it's impossible)

Dang, this sounds like fun. For one reason or another I miss just about every paintball opportunity that comes my way, and this one as well (my parent's anniversary dinner). I hope somebody with a digital camera puts up a website.
