OK, I'm taking it upon myself to be the official BYOAC ZapCon 2015 Ambassador. If you are coming, post here. I want to do something special for all use BYOACers who will be in attendance. I'm thinking a t-shirt or ID badge or something we can use to identify which of us knuckleheads roll our own. This thread will be for communicating to those of you coming FOR SURE. Keep maybes and other questions in the other thread.

Going:
Yotsuya
Slippyblade
Cardphan1
RetroGreg
MelvinBates
Nephasth
HaRuMaN
Le Chuck

Tirekickers:
PBJ
DeLuSioNal29
ChanceKJ

How about someone in Phoenix runs your fundraiser. That way you gotta show up to collect. I don't want to pay for snuggle time if you're not going to deliver.

Cardphan1 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 05, 2015, 07:54:12 pm »

I'm in the parking lot now so Ican be first in the door.

Sweet. Now get an icon for your account, and you'll be set.

There's two things I take seriously - honoring deals and being a pain in the ass.

This is my opportunity to do both.

Nephasth · « **Reply #9 on:** February 05, 2015, 08:37:54 pm »

Just concerned about sudden disappearances and such... Still a little uneasy, maybe I'll gamble with buying you a beer first...

yotsuya · « **Reply #10 on:** February 05, 2015, 08:42:16 pm »

I actually trust PBJ to be a man of his word. I will say that.

RetroGreg · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2015, 11:09:50 pm »

I'm going for sure. Last year was pretty rad.

melvinbates · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2015, 11:11:39 am »

I'll be there.

You should make a bottle of your Mead a Kickstarter reward - the cash would be flying in...

Added a poll - I know a guy that can make shirts at cost. Want to see if it would be worth while to explore. If you're going, lemme know, and VOTE!

Yots will have half the forum at my house if I don't put a stop to it. Lol.

The T-shirt is going to have the BYOAC logo on the back, with "I spent the night at HaRuMaN's" underneath it.

The other slogan will be "Neph-Richers are too good for our shirts".

I've donated and started the ball rolling, because come on. Who doesn't want to see pics of PBJ hugging Yots and Haruman?

I'll know in a week or two if I'm coming.

Kick starter up to $30. Someone with a looooong memory coughed up $20.

Shooooooot. If I came I would stay with my boy Yots. But seriously. I have family out there. And Im going to Florida the week before. I definitely have to mark it on the calender for next year.

yotsuya · « **Reply #31 on:** February 07, 2015, 10:41:16 am »

Screw Florida. You won't find any of that pesky humidity here.

And I dreamt PBJ made it to ZapCon. We need to make this happen, people!!!!!

yotsuya · « **Reply #32 on:** February 07, 2015, 12:13:12 pm »

I just realized, we need to figure out a way to get our homeboy Louis Tully out here, too. One day. You guys all start planning for ZapCon 2016. This year will be the test year.

yotsuya · « **Reply #33 on:** February 07, 2015, 12:32:58 pm »

Potential shirt slogan: I nut's up and made it to The Show

I dunno man, I feel like I only have one zapcon run in me.

Le Chuck · « **Reply #35 on:** February 08, 2015, 08:31:36 am »

If coming I would totally wear BYOAC gear but not if said gear directly or overtly makes fun of another forum member. Doing it "in thread" is totally fine. Putting it on a t-shirt is derisive and could be constriped as mean spirited.

jdbailey1206 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 08, 2015, 08:55:14 am »

This is an off track question Yots but does everyone put their machines on free play or are they set up to take coins/quarters?

Don't worry, I'm just ---smurfing--- around. None of those "slogans" would see the light of day...

Good question - everything is set to free play. There are a few pins put aside for the pinball contest that are off limits, but that's usually only like 5 machines. Everything else is open to the public and free with your paid admission.

DeLuSioNal29 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2015, 05:21:26 pm »

The verdict is still out whether I'll be attending or not. I have a few trips planned this year so it will be tight. But I'm trying hard to go!
