Pretty much. Although HaRuMaN's couch lives in rich guy suburbia, so it may take you a bit longer.

I would like to go to both the Monestary and Starfighters and will need a ride to and from the Marriott.

Bro, you're riding shotgun with me all weekend...

I'll need transportation too. With equipment in tow. Nothing fancy, just my gig bag and a foldable tripod and foldable dolly. I could take a cab, but would rather get some footage on the way in the car of everyone.

Going to Grand Canyon Friday morning with wife, but I have every intention of being ready to go at the entrance of Marriot Hotel at 5pm sharp (we are staying there). Anyone who would like a ride, just PM me and we can meet up

Don't rush yourselves, we'll be at the Monastery/StarFighters all evening.

Um... Phoenix to Grand Canyon and back is about a 7 hour drive. Do you plan to jump out of the car, say "Yep - that's a big hole in the ground!", and drive straight back?

yotsuya · « **Reply #1089 on:** April 12, 2016, 07:36:03 pm »

Those of you guys bringing guests, please feel free to bring them Friday night. All are welcome. We don't want things to get too sausagefesty, after all!

We just changed our mind...Grand Canyon on Thursday. No way I am gonna be late for festivities.

Slippyblade · « **Reply #1091 on:** April 12, 2016, 08:12:37 pm »

Good call. It's a neat visit, and the drive is gorgeous. It's just long.

Since you have more time, strongly consider the East Rim route. It's much more scenic and less touristy. Stop by Sunset Crater and Wapatki on the way. You won't regret it.

Any locals interested in dinner Thursday night at Tempe Marketplace with the guest of honor, Ond? Let me know!

You guys are hilarious. I'm looking forward to Starfighters. Haven't been since last year. It's hard to find the time to get to that side of town.

Lol we're upping the ante to jolts, flip flops, and half shirts! I'll try to keep my hands to myself this year.

yotsuya · « **Reply #1100 on:** April 13, 2016, 12:11:16 am »

I actually found that shirt on ebay, but they wanted $150 for it

RetroGreg · « **Reply #1101 on:** April 13, 2016, 12:22:01 am »

How much for the mesh hat? You know it's mesh in the back.

OK, I've got two other confirmed drivers for that night (thanks, Aceldamor and Melvinbates). Who all needs a ride from the conference hotel to The Monastery/StarFighters this Friday night?

I'll be at the hotel and I'll have a compact rental, so I can drive or ride. Put me on the Standby list for now, and if there's an empty seat after all the vehicularly-challenged have spoken, I'll take it.

yotsuya · « **Reply #1103 on:** April 13, 2016, 09:59:45 am »

Sounds good.

It's hump day, brothers! I can't believe that in 48 hours, I'll have Vigo and hbm with me in my vehicle

Yeah, but you're staying with HaRuMaN, so that doesn't count. Say hi to his couch for us. Take a photo!

Malenko · « **Reply #1108 on:** April 13, 2016, 10:57:10 am »

Flying across the country doesnt count? Standards are too high bro!
Haruman's couch is all I could afford after airfare.

SHOW US YOUR COUCH!

My Backup mic came in the mail today. Now I can relax.

I'm planning on packing tonight. So that tomorrow I'll be ready to go... Speaking of couch, I'll be crashing on my parent's couch tomorrow night since they live right next to the airport. I need to be at the airport at 4am EST and I arrive in AZ at 11am PST. I'm going to be one tired MoFo when I get there...

So I'm curious - for which of you guys is this your first trip to Arizona?

Good deal. That's why I'm taking you and Vigo to the 'hood for brunch.

First time in history that the words "hood" and "brunch" were used in the same sentence.

This thread is already has more than twice the posts of the 2015 ZapCon thread, so I'm expecting 2016 ZapCon to be at least twice as awesome.

I'm jealous. I'd love to have some local Arizona cuisine.

Whenever I drive to Phoenix, I always see roadside stands like this but I've never stopped at one.
