ZapCon 2016 Roll Call

[yotsuya]

ZAPCON 4.0
April 16 and 17, 2016[/b]


Yeah, I know it's early, bitches, but you've got about 360 days or so to start saving your pennies. Who's in? Once you know for sure, announce it here!

[Slippyblade]

I'll be there.  Gonna bring the family next year as well.  The wife saw my pics and decided she wants to finally go. 

[Ond]

I WILL be there.  I'm going to attend a Business Analysts/Project Managers conference probably in Boston around that time to claim some of the trip.  Is Boston very far from ZapCon  ?  No matter.  I haven't held a current passport for a few years so I'll get onto that first!

Ond, if you come, I will personally take care of your pass!

[Ond]

That's mighty generous of you man but you don't need to do that  . So, who will come and have a beer with me at ZapCon 2016?  Do Americans drink beer?   Geez I'm going to have to study up on US cultural norms....

[DaOld Man]

If I come, I will definitely drink a beer with you OND, but not sure I can stop at just one.
So, where are the pics for the 2015 ZapCon?

No,  that's the deal.  I get the pass of the guy who travels the furthest to get to ZapCon!

[Mr_Numbers]

Is there a link to 2016 ZapCon available?

[yotsuya]

Not yet,  but I'll let you guys know when I hear.

LOL Dude! There's a great local beer scene if you're interested. Several microbreweries to visit if you have time. But if anything gets in the way I suppose it should be ZapCon.

Lol at making the 2016 thread already. We'll have to post in this at least weekly to remind the tire kickers haha.

[yotsuya]

We'll get Ond to try a Kiltlifter!

Kiltlifter? I'm shooting for Hop Knot or Hop Shock! Hopefully Double Knot if it's available! Pending how serious the beer statement was from Ond.....

[yotsuya]

Just heard from one of the organizers - circle April 16 and 17, 2016 on your calendars, folks!

[RetroGreg]

I'm going both days next year for sure. Too good to miss out.

[yotsuya]

Yeah, it was awesome. We can do The Monestary/StarFighters the night before again, too. This time I'll make sure they're read for us (the eats, not SFs)!

[jdbailey1206]

I'LL BE THERE!!!












































































...maybe...

[RetroGreg]

Haha NO TIRE KICKERS! You have a year to plan!

And yes, Starfighters is great for the Friday before. Awesome way to kick off the festivities.

[yotsuya]

Grey Area, if you are reading this, please contribute to the Kickstarter to get PBJ here in 2016.

Saving my pennies now. About a dollar a day should cover most of my travel expenses.

We'll get a tip/Vigo Trip jar going at the Old Country Buffet!

[Le Chuck]

I came out around $700 for the weekend with flights, hotel, and incidentals.  Better save $2/day.

[DeLuSioNal29]

I'm in!  I got the blessing of my better half since I couldn't go this year due to the purchase of my new home.  Plus I'll be settled in by then for sure.

I'd also like to help move cabinets and stuff if needed.  It looked like fun based on LeChuck's pics and I kind of regret not going.     (Although I won't drop any on you Yots - LOL).

Cool. Once they start asking for volunteers, let toxicwes here know that you are interested. You'll get a pass for the whole weekend out of it.

[jdbailey1206]

I feel like this is a UNICEF/SPCA commercial....

"For just $2 a day you can send a BYOACer to go to ZapCon.  With your donations you can send an eager BYOACer like Vigo or PBJ to a place they only dream about.  Think about it.  You spend more than that on your latte in the morning.  So, please, reach into your hearts and lets send one lucky BYOACer to the Con of his dreams.  If you call now we will even send you the picture of the lucky BYOACer you are sponsoring.  Please.  Call now...."

You think I'm bad on the forum wait until you meet me in person.

I would encourage you guys to a) share a room or b) sleep on HaRuMaN's couch.

I won't believe it until I'm physically picking you up from the airport. In the mean time....

Nope.  No couch surfing at Casa de Haru.

I think this has turned into the best BYOAC meme. Makes me laugh everytime!

[jdbailey1206]

I can sleep on my uncles couch and I don't need a ride, I'll be riding on the tire that I kick all the way to ZapCon.

HaRuMaN, make sure the BYOAC paddle is oiled and ready...

Good idea mate!  I've got a lot to organise to get there, no time for ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.  Microbreweries sound fun, I've sampled some very nice beers from Aussie Microbreweries over the years - 'Dogbolter Dark Lager' comes to mind.  I see ZapCon as the culmination to a lot of blood sweat and tears for me  and not just the arcade hobby I mean.  Boston is a bloody long way from Phoenix, gotta find a legit conference somewhere closer to claim the trip on....  It's early days but I intend to help yots promote this 

[Ond]

Ball rolling, my booking agent's name is 'Sarah'  she say's "What are you wanting to do when you get to Phoenix?".  I've filled in her in, in a manner of speaking.  Heh heh.
