General Airsoft Discussion / Re: Halloween Woes. Or why were there no open fields on Halloween?!
« on: November 01, 2013, 11:05:38 AM »
Yeah I was whining a bit.
What did I do before I found indoor airsoft.. simple I sat on my ass, played videogames and ignored the world around me. Or I sat around and watched horror movies and got drunk... or I did one of any number of other things.
The fact of the matter was, I actually wanted some social interaction in a fun environment on a day that normally would have been a standard business day. Your bank "Example" falls flat, we expect banks to be closed on sundays, just as we expect Airsoft fields to be closed on Mondays/Tuesdays... it's the nature of the business. My complaint here, was that on what would have normally been an "Open" day for airsoft arena's, EVERYTHING was instead closed. Under the guise of "It's a holiday guys!"
This would have been easy to accept if Halloween was considered a federal holiday, or a typically recognized holiday where many other businesses close. It just seems odd to me that pretty much every AO was closed on a "holiday" that is not recognized federally. Or even by that many people at the end of the day.
Also getting together a private game of just 3 people, is kinda lame. yes everything was somewhat last minute. But you tell me you're not excited when you get a brand new set of weapons, and that you don't want to go out and use them as soon as possible Exarach.
That being said, things happen, I get that. And sometimes you have to blow off some steam. I'll get my chance sunday to put some hurt down. just a matter of waiting. Just sucks when it seems the rest of the world's falling down around you, and you just want to go out and blow off some steam ya know.
