I've been really wanting to go to the Big Sandy Machine Gun Shoot for a few years now. I mean, come on, Machine guns, explosions, tanks? What's not to love?

It's this weekend and I just found out yesterday that it is THIS weekend. So here I am sitting on the fence. Pay 45 dollars a night for a shitty motel about an hour away to go and experience something that not a whole lot of people outside of the military get to experience. But at the same time, it's such short notice and they do hold them twice a year. The next one will be in Spring sometime.

Now to my finances. I don't have a whole lot of money saved up yet. 90 bucks for 2 nights isn't bad, but I'll need food and fuel too. Not to mention it's 25 dollars to get in, plus more if I want to rent a machine gun. But I could come back with amazing photos, and there is also a night shoot where everyone is running tracers. I figure that a long exposure of that would be phenomenal.

So what do you guys think?

I get paid friday, that's an extra 600ish in my account after taxes.

But I have to make my paycheck last two weeks to stay safe in my mind.

How much are your weekly expenditures?
Will you rent a machine gun (oddest question I've asked all day)?

I can exist on +- 50 dollars a week. That covers my fuel and what ever I need to get.

Rental is really tempting. It's not a once in a lifetime experience, but it'd be tough to pass it up.

I think I'd go if it were me, depending on rental fee maybe rent the machine gun.

Just booked my hotel.

You guys ready for photos and video of Machine guns, canons, and possibly an M-18 Hellcat? Maybe even some video and long exposure of the night shoot with tracers.

My stupidity is self evident.
Fuck yeah man, have fun. Would really like to get the chance to shoot some the crap they've got.
