Good Afternoon everyone,
A lil bit o' news...
============================================
TMB's
We are all still waiting in anticipation for people to start recieving their TMB's so I gave a call to a source over at Hasbro. I was told that chances are that the guns ARE in the country, but they are going through testing with customs and all that yada yada. The unofficial offical date for the guns to be placed on the shelves in stores is around October 15th. However, I was told that people who bought them online through companies such as Amazon.com, may see them a bit sooner......how much sooner depends on customs, and the online store's distibution speeds. So that's the unofficial offical story on that.
============================================
Lazer Horizon
Anyone interested in getting a hard copy of the current Laser Horizon for around $10 + shipping, please email me at droman@1sourcelasertag.com. If you have not recieved a copy of the current version and would like us to email it to you...please let me know also.
I'm trying to get a head start on the next edition which I hope to release by the end of october. The main theme of the edition will be gear. I'll be adding back allot of the sections that were in the last October edtion (see NEWS on www.1SLT.com to see that edition). To make the ezine as great as this last edition, I need articles. Preferably material that is new and hasn't been posted...although I will resort to using articles on gear mods from various websites for filler material if necissary. There will be a in depth look at the LTTO gear so any mods on that gear would be great. I will also be reviewing the latest Laser Challenge gear on the market.
The voting booth for picking the best 3 funnies from the last Laser Horizon edition will be posted on 1SLT this weekend.

Area-51 Tagcon Midwest 2006
Things looked a bit shaky and slow at first, but this event looks to be one of the best events to go to in the U.S. If you can make it, I would highly recommend it. The event is for the most part free (a lil money is required for food and lodging - which is understandable). The guys in Indy and at Steradian have been working to make a host of really fun streamlined games for the day. Not only that, but you will be using professional grade gear......not only that, but you might even get to use the new S-7! (Derool, Derool, Deroool)... If you think there is a chance you might be going, be sure to put your name down on the sign up list on the Tactical Action Game Message board:

Everett LTC North Acers 2pm-4pm
Next Everett Lazer Tag Game is Sept 18th, North Acers park. Directions are on the message board at AlliedTag.org Everett Lazer Tag Club ************ > Due to a reduction in attendees at the last few games, we would like to have everyone planning on attending, leave a post on the ELTC forum on http://AlliedTag.org. If there are no posting, the game is canceled. To help attract new players, I am posting this game on several city-wide web sites and posting flyers in stores. You can help attract new players by doing the same. Find web sites for Seattle activities and cut and past one of my messages or make your own with a reference to AlliedTag.org. The more places this is post, the more players we will attract. The tear-off flyers are online at http://members.raincity.com/btsmith/leaders/marketing/tear_flyers/tear_flyer_index.htm >
