I've met your wife and she indicated that I could camp on a large inflatable raft in the pool if I so desired.

You can sleep in that empty Nintendo cab I have in the back. I'll put it next to the firepit for warmth...

Nah, it's cool. I'll just crash in the rusted out ice cream truck next door.
Hahahahahaha. My retired Vietnamese neighbor won't mind.

Oh, and as far as creating a project for this year's ZapCon...

This is epic...after a LONG Hiatus from BYOAC I come back with a new place ready to build a new cab and I see this thread...i'm in fo'sho!

Speaking of ZapCon, and AZ..do locals still meet up every once in a while outside of ZapCon? I remember meeting up @ C&C when they had games... I would imagine Starfighters would be the haunt of choice now.

What's up, brother? Yes, we meet up from time to time. I'm the official BYOAC ZapCon ambassador, but also get all the locals together from time to time. Are you familiar with the local Arizona Board that Arcadenut runs?

yotsuya · « **Reply #165 on:** October 19, 2015, 07:18:13 pm »

Oh, and check out the ZapCon 15 thread for all the hijinks from the last one.

Been negotiating with someone to get some special swag for ZapCon '16 BYOAC attendees. Stay tuned!

ark_ader · « **Reply #177 on:** November 21, 2015, 09:48:00 pm »

Its not that far, so I shall attend. Southwest is still pretty cheap on flights.

yotsuya · « **Reply #178 on:** January 03, 2016, 09:08:09 pm »

As the Official BYOAC ZapCon ambassador, it's time to start putting all the hijinx together.

Ok, so it's now 2016, and I want to start solidifying this stuff soon. If you remember last year, I got t-shirts and custom ID badges together for all BYOAC attendees. I'd like to do the same this year.

So, I need to know, who is definitely in, who is probably in, who is cancelling, and who's kicking tires. Also, if we're going to Gofundme Jim's trip, we need to do that soon. I think we raised $20 last year.

So what's the plan this year? Starfighters on Friday night? Zapcon Sat and Sun? I'm pricing options out now: Leaning towards arriving Friday afternoon for a 2 night stay and leaving Sunday. Would love to stay until Monday morning but not sure yet (depends on price).

Anyone going halves on rooms? I'm coming from NYC so airfare's a ---smurfette---. LMK!

The tenative plan is Friday night Monestary/StarFighters, ZapCon Saturday and Sunday. It all depends on what happens with load-in. I'm taking Friday off and am willing to do airport pickup runs.

As experience shows, right Yots, sweetie? I think YOU'RE Delusional, not me.

Seriously though, can't wait to go! Arcade fun for an entire weekend? What?!?!

Oh yeah, and I'm down to help move crap and set up if need be. Just let me know when you guys start that and I can work my flights around it.

Hey, I'm just going by what Kaneda told me....

Let me know what time you're thinking in regards to flights. There's at least one other guy I'm planning on picking up, so we can try to do it in one swoop.

I also tweaked the poll. Go vote!

TACO TIME CHARLIE, YOU BETTER COME HANG WITH US!!!

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #198 on:** January 04, 2016, 05:01:47 am »

I'm 85% committed. I will most likely need to be going to Mexico or the Caribbean the week of May 4th. and that trip takes president. As soon as i figure out my travel for that i'll adjust my go/no-go for ZapCon. ...Unless the Loonie drops below .55cents, then I'm diggin a hole in the ground behind the house and dragging in some supplies and a shotgun to wait it out.

Best prices i see for flights have me arriving around 10:30am Friday, and departing at 1:45pm Monday. I wouldn't get a car, So i'd take you up on that Airport pickup Paul. Hotel wise Mesa Travel Lodge looks to be a decent rate, 20min walk / 3 min drive. Whats the Zapcon rate for the Marriott usually?

If i'm coming i'd want to help with the load-in at the very least. Maybe the load-out Monday, depending on flight/times.

What might help push me up to 87% is if those BYOAC shirts are glow in the dark this year.

vwalbridge · « **Reply #199 on:** January 04, 2016, 10:46:12 am »

Just checked on some flights from Denver to Phoenix. Southwest is doing flights just about every hour all day.

I could arrive pretty much any time of day on the 15th to make it easy for a BYOAC shuttle pickup.

It's a coin toss for me on the hotel right now. The hotel at the Mesa convention center is $135 a night but Chance's Travel Lodge is only $50 a night. That's a big difference.

EDIT: Oh and I'd be more than happy to help set up/tear down.
