??? What on earth took you in that direction?

...you know what Vigo, on second thought, I don't wanna know.

You don't become the Scourge of Carpathia for collecting butterflies.

Vwalbridge and wp34, you're on notice. Sell cans, donate blood, do what you can to get the fundage to come. Hook on the side if you need to. :cheers:

I just texted Le Chuck.  If he's in the States, he's in. You should totally share a room. Spooning is optional.

And I have a standing offer to pick anyone up at the airport. As the official BYOAC Ambassador to ZapCon, I'm all about the experience.

MGB came over last week to help me move my machines into my new place (thanks again Mike) and he asked if I was serious about going and splitting a room. I was like Yup!  Wouldn't miss it this year.   Hopefully he can go too.

It would be awesome to see everyone.

Ond, if you come, I will personally take care of your pass!
Oh, and: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Boston+to+Phoenix

Trust me, Boston Lincolnshire is VERY different to Boston Oz.....I live about 40 miles away from there and that's 41 miles too many. It also happens to be the most Obese place in England. Good for cabbages, though.

Couldn't you guys host one of these gaming thingie-me-bobbies over here in the UK sometime. If you look on a map - it's bang in the middle of everyone so should be the most convenient. Of course, that has nothing to do with shameful imperialism, national arrogance or a horrendous inherited high-entitlement English Class system....

I won't be going anywhere but ZapCon, the effort of going anywhere else to offset the cost (by claiming on the trip) is probably false economy, it will be MEL------>LAX------>PHX.

I'm interested in helping setup on the Friday.  You should go too stigzler, anything stopping ya?  :)

Sooo no real excuse not to attend then?   >:D  Don't worry about being crap at games, this thing is a family event, check the thread from this years ZapCon.  I'm skint right now too, I can't really even afford the friggin passport renewal at the moment but I'm working on that.  Seriously for me, the chance to meet and hang out with some like minded doods who enjoy the hobby is what its all about.  We'll get to talk a lot of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and since I'll be the oldest there, I'll be able to reinvent 'the good old days of the arcades' as I see fit  :lol.

Yeah, we had some good times. Friday night was burgers and beer followed by a night at StarFighters arcade, who open up JUST FOR US. We had the run of the place.

Saturday was video games and fun, with dinner provided by Vigo.

Sunday was video games and awards. It was all about hanging out with the guys. A digital sausage fest, if you will.

I can't decide what's more shocking

Nep doesn't have long black hair a goatee or tattoo sleeves.

You resemble an Oklahoma City sports radio host

I'm pretty sure Chuck is the result of the T1000 and Arnold Toht from Raiders melting into one dude

1. I'm a daywalker.
2. Haven't had long hair in 13 years.
3. Facial hair comes and goes all year based on how much I dislike shaving at the time.
4. I'm covered in tattoos, but maintain a professional image.
5. See you next year!

It's a grainy picture.  IRL it's more like the T1000 melded with 2015's Neil Patrick Harris and the 1991 Macaulay Culkin.  Either way it is what it is.  What do I win for being the thinnest?

Why would you even joke about wanting that job? Just tape a bent stick to his back with a string dangling a cheese burger on the end. Done.

Oh, and I don't know if you saw it in the Summer of Chuff thread, but StarFighters is doubling in size! Hopefully they'll open just for the BYOAC crew again next year. I also talked to Wes, the ZapCon organizer, and told him we have someone from Australia coming out this year, as well as some tirekickers who might make good next year.  :cheers:
