How did it happen that I ended up playing half an Ironman? Here’s the story…

I left Archdale and was bound for Charlotte, NC with plans to play the 10:00pm Ironman at Laser Quest for which I had called in my reservation earlier that afternoon. I had been driving for mos...

My first stop upon crossing the border into northern North Carolina was to Lazer X in Burlington. I am intrigued by the history of sites that are called Lazer X and yet operate completely independently of each other, because I have played at a few of them including Laz...

After leaving the Appalachian Laser Tag Festival I was ready to get back to some more traditional tag. I was also eager to get my arena count up because I am quickly closing in on playing my 200th arena. :)

I had made a decision earlier in the day to alter my plans and...

I believe it was a year or so ago that I first learned about the Appalachian Laser Tag Festival hosted annually by the Laser Tag Club at Virginia Tech. I was intrigued. Based on the photos from their website I knew this was a COMPLETELY different kind of laser tag expe...

Sometimes things work out better than you could plan. If my original travel plans had worked out I would have played Invasion Laser Tag in San Marcos on Friday, but instead I walked in right in the middle of members night and was welcomed as a visiting Laserforce membe...

I had two very distinctively different experiences playing at the Laser Quest locations in Fullerton and Mission Viejo, CA. My first stop was Fullerton, which for some reason was not on my original trip agenda and I’m really not sure why. Of course with my itinerary ch...

For many years I used to direct children’s theater. When I walked into Laser Island I got the sense that this is the kind of scene that I would have built if ever I had asked my students to perform a show based on Gilligan’s Island.

The briefing and vesting area is all...

The arena at Lost Worlds Laser Tag in City of Industry, CA was one of the best I experienced on my trip. This is a Laserforce site and upon checking in I talked with the owner, “Big Boss” Brian, who assured me that I’d be able to sign in with my member card and gave me...
