We're hardy souls who don't generally let the weather stand in the way of a good paint out, but occasionally we use common sense and urge you to do so, as well. If the weather is dangerous(or for any other reason), we reserve the right to call off a paint out without any notice (although we will try). And, we hereby state, in no way, are PAAC, its members, sponsors or associates responsible in any way for participants. These paint outs are considered public affairs; you are responsible for yourself.
