<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Bill
loves sports and he enjoys competing, so it's
really no surprise that he's really looking
forward to heading up the "largest paintball
event in history" this coming August 31st.
The event will be held in a paintball venue
called Challenge
Park Xtreme just outside of Chicago, Illinois
and is expected to draw thousands of players.
The fact that Bill has never played paintball
before doesn't deter his enthusiasm one bit!
He's certain that he'll get some practice in
before the big day. </font>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">The
event is being organized by the Society of Paintball
Players and Teams also known as SPPLAT. Three
teams will compete for control of "mythical
items and magical places." Bill will head
up the Federation team, while the Borg and Klingon
teams will be led by Tom Kaye of Airgun Designs
and radio personality Mancow of Q101 in Chicago.</font>

<p align="left"><font size="2" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The
Challenge
Park Xtreme venue has five major theme fields,
thirteen wooded fields, seven tournament fields
and a pneumatic target range for warming up.
Their website mentions that all of the fields
were designed with spectators in mind, making
the action easy and exciting to watch.</font>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"> At
our recent fan club Weekend, right, Bill's excitement
was clearly evident as he talked about the strategy
he hoped to utilize, and mentioned who he planned
to solicit for his second-in-command. He clearly
doesn't believe in the "no win scenario."</font>
