I used to organize an "urban version" down in the old packard car factory buildings in a very old section of Detroit. This joint was some kinda old, creepy and cavernous. It basicly looked like a bombed out version of Kosivo but withcrazy splashes of color around evey doorway, crude opening, or support beam lol. We'd get 28-30 guys, we all used the rental equipment, no private guns, no full auto. This was back in the day like 1994, It was spread out over 2 floors of this old joint. Man, I never had trouble getting guys to make time for those events. The answer was always the same "just tell me what day! and can I bring a friend?"
The best/weirdest part of this for me was the people I had just turned on to it for the first time, would come up to me in the mash tent right after the very first event (about the 20 min mark.) Without fail, and I swear, they were about a foot off the floor with the biggest eye's and grins sayin "when can we do this again!" THIS AFTER THE FIRST 20 MIN!!!...this with 2 hrs and 40 mins left to go! Talk about people geeked to the max.
Damn, those were some great times. Great memories.
P.s. always "pool" in one of your friends cars to drive to the event though ha, ha, ha.
