Ok, to preface this story I need to explain why I wasn’t able to attend Lion Claws II, which was definitely a learning experience.
I, like many other airsoft enthusiasts apparently, plan what gear and guns I’m taking to an operation long before I ever buy a ticket and, as such, I sometimes miss out on the operation because I WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET A TICKET.
This is exactly what happened in the run up to Lion Claws II. I showed up at my local airsoft store with a list of gear I felt I needed for Operation Lion Claws II and the conversation went something like this:
Salesperson: Wow Bob, you’re really stocking up this time. Gearing up for a big game?
Me: Oh yeah! I went to Lion Claws I last year and it was awesome. I’m totally going to Lion Claws II this year.
Salesperson: Oh, did you get your ticket?
Me: No, why?
Salesperson: Well, it just sold out yesterday.
Me: You’re kidding?!
Salesperson: Nope, see? [He turns the computer screen around so I can see that the event is sold out.]
Me: 🙁
Salesperson: Do you still need all this gear?
Me: Yeah… I guess I’ll just get 2 bags of BB’s instead of 4, but I still want everything else. (more…)
