Paintball

[Pump_Fiend]

I am currently a Junior in Highschool but have been looking to go into The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for their Culinary Arts program for some time. I recently asked for a brochure from their and they sent me a packet of info with an offer. They are allowing me to write an essay and some other stuff (mostly stuff with money lol) and if im excepted i can go down their for five days (7/23-7/27) and do a Summer studio thing with them to check out the place and do some culinary arts activities. ANYWAY i was wondering if there are any good fields near Pittsburgh, or if their is a good scenario game or something going on before or after that dates im attending the Summer Studio I might be able to attend and check out the fields i may be going to for awhile when i start attending the school after high school.

Some of the major fields:
Riverside Renegades (closest to downtown)
Three Rivers Paintball (30 minutes north)
Crazy Dave's (about 1 hours north, kind of small)
MVP (about an hour south)

I actually work for a local scenario producer called Mission Masters (click picture in sig for website). We put on events at Three Rivers. The closest scenario date is on June 13 (a Friday). It's being run in conjunction with a big religious retreat that weekend (it's a religious themed event). If you do want to try out TRP while you're here, let me know and I'll see if I can meet you there or something.

Not to jump on your choice... but Look at some other options first. Almost any applicant from the AIP has been useless for our company. Dont know if that counts for their culinary program, but given the rest of the school... yeah, you might want to invest a tad bit more in your future.

Call up some places you would want to work / own, and ask them where they would hire from / got to school.

I've been looking for a reason to try out TRP. A big, religious paintball retreat doesn't sound very interesting, but I'll definitely make it for one of your scenarios. Kidnapping Azzy for the day may be possible as well

Kidnapping? I wouldnt mind trying them out. Is Eric Lightfoot still around up there? If so, tell him I said Hi

[MadCat]

Well, "kidnapping" gives you the excuse "he made me do it" if your wife disapproves of your absence

[Azzy]

Nah, she's all for me getting out to blow off some steam.

I don't think he's there. Or at least I haven't heard of him at all.
