Yots - Does everyone normally stay at the Mesa Convention Center or do people usually find the best deal for a hotel?
People usually stay at the MCC because it’s THAT close. Like HaRuMaN said, a group stayed at an AirBNB, which worked out well. The only other option is HaRuMaN’s couch.

I've already reserved the couch, sorry. I've also already submitted the dates for vacation too. As long as I don't switch gigs or my other grandfather doesn't croak I should be able to make it this one LAST time.
Yots - Does everyone normally stay at the Mesa Convention Center or do people usually find the best deal for a hotel?Stay there, it's the best. You can take breaks. Go swimming. Get stung. Check the forum from the business center. Help some CEO with his powerpoint presentation while you're still in your swim suit and supposedly on vacation from your IT job. Keep glancing at the redness spreading across your arm. Go back and play some more. Good times!
...Get stung...
Assuming I find a steady job by then, I'll be there.
Yeah, you know I will make the effort. My bro had a good time and might be back too. :cheers: Hell, I might bring more next year.

Also, I agree with Nespath, the console room is kind of weird.

The only reason to spend time in the console room is because that’s where they sell the booze.

Still 50/50 chance atm but we are both hammering in the OT to try and make it to see you guys!
Malenko, your "trinket" is underway. ;D One small thing. To qualify for it you must complete Ginger Balls 2.0 by Jan 01 2019 and you have to attend at ZapCon 2019 to receive it from me. This wall trophy is definitely a one off, there will never be another like it. :cheers:

Being able to give 5 uninterrupted minutes to a computer is a rare thing these days.
Ok I've never heard of ZapCon but I stumbled on the thread and had to Google it. And oh my it's only 1hr49m drive away so I'm going to try to go.
I'm in Tucson, AZ
Wow some of you are going on Thursday. I was trying to figure out whether to book Fri and Sat night or Sat night only. I assume if I come Fri there are a few who would be enjoying some beers?
Im sure well be having some beers Friday. Yots always has somthing planned. I'm coming from a bit further away so I need the time to recover a bit.

MikeA and I will drag your carcass around Thursday night Weekend at Bernie’s style.
Ok I booked a room for Fri and Sat night so I'm committed. But I did book before I knew I needed a Dickbutt medallion. Is there a photo of it I got a 3D printer. :)

Friday Night is for contributors only, but BYOAC members who are holders of the Dickbutt medallion are allowed entry. It’s a very exclusive club.
We usually do a dinner Friday night and a group photo Saturday. Something is also being planned for Thursday night as well.

I don't drink alcohol. So I can be the designated shuttle driver. I hope diet Pepsi is free on tap.
So do we have to bow or curtsy or something now?
Congrats. They made a good choice.
Now that reminds me of hours at my friends house playing Adventure on the Atari 2600.
Reminded the wife about the trip, she asked is she could come with the kids.....so yeah, two things, got any suggestions on what they could do in the area if they come?
Second, sounds like I wouldn’t miss anything by flying in later Friday afternoon? Stay through Sunday late afternoon at the Mesa Convention Center? Wanna get his all booked soon.
By the way I’ll take black!

Are you staying at the Marriott? I’d recommend that first of all. If so, get there by dinner time Friday. The show ends at 6 on Sunday, so any time around there. Just remember to bring your jorts or sleeveless tees.

oh and Im selling my house and buying a new one.

House would sell a little quicker if you'd paint that damn garage.
I'm hoping at least one of you dudes joins me in helping out with the Friday load in. When I went to Zapcon the last time the load in was my ticket to a weekend pass, but I ended up enjoying it because I got to meet all these people and learn something along the way. One old timer had all these old pinball machines from the days when he ran his own place. I was like some little kid hopping around him asking all these questions. He opened a few machines up for me and explained their mechanics to me.
Of course I got to play quite a few machines and set some (very low) high scores, thus earning my Yots badge for that category. Can you lift heavy stuff for a few hours? Join me, get a free pass.
Make sure you also get your official Adventure dragon. That’s a must, especially if you’re not volunteering.
So we didn’t do them last year because I had a lot of personal stuff going on, but what about T-shirts for this year? What says you all?

Yeah cool.. Yots, what about the logo from the website going on the back of the T'Shirt this year. Is that allowed? It would look really cool, with BYOAC logo on the front. I'm thinking just black Tees to keep it simple?
Well I volunteered. Sounded like they really didn't need help unloading so I ended up with a 5hr shift either Sat or Sun. I said make it early so I'm done when the bar opens...lol.

Yeah I kinda struggled with dedicating 5 hours to volunteer when I've never been and want to be meeting everyone but hopefully I'll still feel like I had plenty of time to enjoy it.
Pro tip for the newbies attending this year: Don't do what I did last year and put off buying a Zapcon t-shirt till the end of the show, they run out of sizes early. I'm going to be purchasing my t-shirt on the first day this time around.
You can also pre-order from the website as well.

Any weirdos looking for a roomie? I’ll bring an extra loofah.
That reminds me of the nightmare one time I shared a room. It was a seminar for the lighting software I work on and this guy says "you won't even know I'm there". It included me picking him up along the way and driving him there. So I go to pick him up in Phoenix and he's not ready. Waited extra 20 minutes then I had to follow him down the road so he could park his car at an apartment complex since apparently he didn't feel safe leaving his car at his own house. He complained about it not being hot enough in the car and then I had to fight him wanting to turn the thermostat in the room up to like 85. He whined about my snoring and I said dude I warned you and I even have earplugs you can wear but you refuse to wear them. Now I never asked him for any money but I thought he might toss me a bit more than $50 considering how much I know I had paid for everything. I was ok next time it's worth the extra $50 to be able to put the temperature where the heck I want it.Hahaha... don’t worry, word on the street is that MikeA is tender.

I did some strategic google searches. The consensus was don't cut down a cactus if you're planning to have a good time. Otherwise that state seems even more restrictive than Texas which I didn't think was possible.

That would probably be accurate. I am as short as Tom Cruise. His real height. Not the 5'7" he publishes.I would definitely be Val Kilmer. I was once young, good looking, admired by women, I had a Batman phase, and now I am a over weight middle aged man.

Kinda late to the party, and have been mostly lurking here occasionally since finishing my cabinet a couple of years ago, but I'm going to get there at some point over the weekend. Unfortunately, I'm in the same situation as last year, my daughter has a school play going on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, so my time will be limited and no Friday night hijinks for me. Will keep on eye out for when and where you're gathering. :cheers:

I’ll also take an “Inspected by PBJ” in yellow XL please...

I think I'm signed up to volunteer which was also supposed to get a person into contributor night. But they haven't communicated a single thing about volunteer details. I guess next year I'll just buy a ticket I don't like it being a week away and having no clue if they have a pass for me or not or when/where/how I get it.
Lol. $5 says I can get in without one.
They do the same ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- here with pinball machines. The interesting ones are sequestered in the tournament area.

That would be awesome. Mike A lands at 9.30, so I guess around 10? Best ZaPCon Eva. Thanks TTC.
I've been told to check out Four Peaks. How's that cider collaboration? Uber's like $20 to haul me from the airport to the dork den, so I'll probably do that.
Don't stop beleeeeeving. Did you know Ond can sing? Fact.You know that every time someone sings that at karaoke, a puppy dies? But if you do it half as well as everything else, I've still gotta hear it!
8. Wear cargo shorts. Yeah, they’re old fat dude/WNBA fan uniform at this point, but they’re handy for swag and loot.
Last Zapcon ever for me
I'll be driving up tomorrow. I can pretty much arrive anytime. Are folks going to hang out near the hotel before 5pm?
By the way is there a recommended route when driving up from the south? Most times I go up near Mesa people tell me to avoid 60 but it seems like all the other north/south roads bog down near the 60 exits. Google Maps recommends I go all the way up I-10 to the 60 exit and take it over to S Mesa Dr and head up that to the hotel.

I'll be at the convention center tomorrow with a minivan if anyone needs a ride to the Monastery.

PBJ, What time are you getting in? I have one trip tomorrow morning at 10:00 but I'm available any other time if you want a ride.

This is my finale. I already met Del, nice enough guy. Definitely not the worse moderator here. Im only going this year to meet the man, the myth, the legend... PBJ
The only way I'd go to another one was if I didnt have to catch a flight to get there aka if I lived within reasonable driving distance.

Lol, yeah it won't be that song I'll be attempting. I remember, its really you that can sing anyways.Don't stop beleeeeeving. Did you know Ond can sing?

New Mexico... Where America keeps its worst drivers... :banghead:You're going the wrong way
I've walked 5 miles doing laps at Hobby Airport. In sandals.Aww man, save those legs for standing!

So there's a Ms Pacman and Galaga machine setup in the hotel courtyard. I asked a hotel employee what it was for and he said there are a bunch of lawyers here having a get together. I thought it was for us.Come down to the pool dude.

That vpin had no DOF ("force feedback") no nudge, and the plunger wasn't analog. The left SF stick was shot.Did you drag it out back, shoot it, and put it out of its misery?
Not much for sale either.
I'm sure they tried their best but I want to reach through the screen and punch them in the face. Why is the monitor so small? Why is there a Street Fighter control panel bolted on there? Just no.
Whoever made this is bad and should feel badThey should be ashamed for trying to take money for that abomination.
What time can we get in this morning? My stupid brain gave out on me last night. I developed a killer migraine. It cut my night short.9 am

You trying to temp me with that sweet trans-am in the background? Looks like you guys are having fun, sorry I missed it.
Awesome - looks like a fine time had by all.
I'm going to assume that the SF A1UP was standing in my place.

Next year you can ride up front! And depending on how early I start drinking, you might be able to drive for one of our many beer runs. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190505/3614055f737aaf4f0b4f9f56f253648a.jpg)

TacoTownCharlie is a first ballot Hall of Famer. He comes to play, man. Love that dude!QFT! :cheers:
On the ground in Milwaukee. Time to go to work. :'(Don't worry Mike this ain't over yet. Love from brother Ond.
You just can't stop talking about ---my bottom---.
Was there any foosball?
Arroyo, PM me your address, bro. I found your sunglasses and I have something else to send you...

I was undefeated against opt, played cyberball.....
I had a super pro on my team, he had a newb on his lol.
Arroyo tried to teach me Street Fighter beyond just button mashing.
Here’s a picture of the last cab left at the show. Would someone please come claim it?

Always fun hanging out with the BYOAC crew! Great to see familiar faces again, as with meeting new people! Not sure if next year is in the cards for me, so I stuck around enjoying your (the locals') beautiful state with these ---punks---...
So, I'm currently idling in a church parking lot because it's high ground and the roads are under two feet of water. I've already floated once, so imma sit here in my car in drenched clothes surrounded by drenched groceries, watching cars drive in circles. I'm not sure a bigger contrast in 24 hours is even possible.
Not sorry about the wings. >:D
Illinois is talking about legalizing recreational marijuana. This gets my foot in the door. CBD hemp sells for a few hundred dollars a pound. Weed sells for a lot more than that.
I was genuinely surprised at how easily conversation flowed with people I had only known online. The venue was nice, Phoenix/Mesa is a remarkably easy city to navigate. The folks from the forum went way out of their way to accommodate out of town guests and keep us entertained. Favorite part of the show was being able to stumble around the arcade and constantly find something different to play. Flashback to the "giant" arcades of my childhood (I'm sure they were much smaller in reality). Highly recommend getting an Airbnb across the street like we did - it was nice to get an occasional break. It's apparently impossible to buy too many chicken wings and steaks if your guests are BYOAC members. Playing Shark Santa on a Vectrex on a porch while sipping my cider might qualify as the nerdiest thing I've ever done.
Yeah this year was really great.
It was awesome to meet some of the guys I interact with here on BYOAC. Some were surprising on how nice and chill they are IRL. I guess I fall in that same category. But it just felt natural to hang-out, joke around and talk shop on games, hardware, etc.
I was happy to finally meet Malenko, after years of conversing with him here and on other sites/social media. And we got him to drink! (he normally doesn't)
Speaking of drinking, I can't believe MikeA and I polished off 2/3rds of a scotch bottle after finishing the rest of the beer in the fridge! (I solo'd 1/3rd of the bottle the night i arrived). It wasn't bourbon like we planned, but it was just as good.
Hearing Ond's silky singing voice after devouring a couple steaks, while drinking pbj's hooch and 2x 5ths of vodka, was a hilarious point in the trip. :lol He's cool dude, and totally fulfilled the picture in my head of him.
Arroyo was pretty hilarious too. Pretty much every time I saw him in the hall he'd flip me the bird.
Great to hang out with Gilrock and nexusmtz around the Robotron machines! Hope I was able to give you some tutoring tips for chasing that high-score!
Yots, TTC, Haruman, thanks again for the hospitality and another fun zapcon! I plan on doing it again next year, I might even drive over a couple cabinets next time.
:cheers:
I have some stuff I need to pack and ship for someone else, but I won't be able to get to that until the weekend. I have been extremely busy with this. I am apparently a farmer now.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190508/63a33431a00ff6faa25247d7bf28d2f8.jpg[/img

Opt2Not, screw you Opt, I’m gonna start practicing more for next year.....that’s all I have to say about that. Nah, the guys ---smurfing--- good at gamin, and very friendly and happy to give pointers. Was down to party all hours as long as you didn’t wake him before noon. :oHey I'm up at 6am every morning these days, a solo weekend of sleeping in was one of the reasons I didn't want to take the wife and kid! :lol
You're a good sport though, I can respect people that take losing at a game with dignity. A lot of people can't take the L these days. Practice up and we'll bash buttons against each other soon!
ps., thank you again for the Volcano buttons! I've got a project in mind that i'm going to use them for. :cheers:
Nvm, got it :cheers:
I'm sure there's folks I've missed. Maybe somebody can let me know?

Yeah maybe the people that still want to see the good time you had but weren't able to go. But if you want to keep it to the people that just went then you do you.

I thought so for a second, but I turned around and I had already flushed so I am not sure.
Anyhoo, I’ll post the roll call thread for ZapCon 2020 once I get some dates! Be there or be square!

One year you'll all think you are going to Zapcon and it'll be an intervention. :)
I am just exercising my liver. Exercise is healthy.^This.
Titch is coming if I have to fly over there and kidnap him.
PBJ texted me today that he’s back in!!! DIUBA!!!

Wait.... what.
Though the few bills (that I didn’t use human guinea pig cash on) did come in and my wife wondered how I kept that trip so cheap. Between free rides everywhere and eating almost nothing but store bought hot dogs and chicken wings for 5 days, it was reasonably affordable. Maybe $750 all in, and that was feeding and boozing a few of you, eating ramen with my scientist bro, and bringing home local earrings for my wife. Most fun I’ve had in months if not years, too.

TTC better make sure that cooler is full.You know it. We may have to move up a size class but a cooler will be there. Now to figure out how to cater food poolside.
Bring a portable bbq, and I’ll bring the steaks. Aside from being a Robotron master, I’m also a grill master.TTC better make sure that cooler is full.You know it. We may have to move up a size class but a cooler will be there. Now to figure out how to cater food poolside.

Not getting bent. You stated that Moon Pies suck. I respectfully disagreed.

They should be. Fun fact. Cows originated and were domesticated in Europe.Wtf is graham cracker??
Digestive biscuit? Or "The graham cracker is a sweet, cinnamon-flavored cracker made with graham flour." if you will. Not to be confused with Graham Norton who is still sweet but not covered in cinnamon nor is he made from flour.don’t you blaspheme in here.... I said don’t you blaspheme in here!!!
