| Well here are all my ZCon pics, 99% of them are pretty crappy, but whatever. My battery is three years old, so I was only getting about 50 pics per charge. Because of this, I decided not to take to same pics everyone else was taking (cars), and dedicate my effort to more important things (women, Zers, weird stuff). The whole week was a blast. It was great meeting all these people that I've been talking to online for years. Met so many people that I wont name any names, that way no one will feel left out ;-). There were still people there that I missed the chance to meet though :-( (I wasn't about to go upto every person in the room asking their names). Well here are the pics, in the order that they were taken. I'm too lazy to describe everything on here, I'll give a day by day description though. Feel free to quote any pics and throw in your two cents. Sun: Today we all (Playboy, Yugobernie, Spee, boileralum, Junxster & me) met up and went Fry's to buy a WiFi router, then to the Yard House for food/drinks. I guess the beer caused me to forget to take pics.
Mon: Today we met up with more people (John(houston)/wife, Rodel/wife, Atti2de & Kuah) and went and checked out West Coast Choppers (only a mile or so away). We then grabbed lunch at Taco Beach (meeting up with Milo, Halo & michaelklh). Later Seedy came by the hotal and we met up with some more people (Woody, colocomp & Guapo/wife) at the brewery down the street for food/drinks. After that most of os went to the Hooter across the street for yet more drinks.
Tues: Today was the day for the Stillen tour. Me and Atti2de, being cheapasses, werent allowed to ride the short bus to stillen (because we didnt pay for ZCON reg.). We decided to find a Ferarri dealership instead. We later met up with everyone back at the hotel. After BSing for a bit, they went to the opening reception, we grabbed some Subway and watched the last game. Later we all met up and headed to Dromo1 for some practice (Met up with Spongerider there). We ended the night at Hooters for more food/drinks ('We miss your genic' picture was taken here).
Weds: We woke up and went to Denny's for our first decent breakfast. I don't remember what we did during the day; whatever it was, it wasnt exciting enough for me to take pics of (Oh, we went to Fry's again). That evening we bought a bunch of beer/drinks (even Spee had some Hard Lemonade). Marshall, richk, AbnormallyAspirated & Red ZX joined the festivities. We reserved a table for 25 at PF Changs and walked (well stumbled) over there around 9pm; KILLR300ZX joins the flock. We ended the night slowly in the hotel lobby. I walked Halo and Playboy out to their cars and got some pics of some of the japanese cars in there.
Thurs:
This is the day everyone knows too much about, so I wont say much. We got out of the room kinda late, grabbed half a breakfast at Denny's and headed out to Willow Springs. After getting cooked in the sun for a few hours, we fought the traffic for 110miles back to Long Beach. We made it to the TT.net dinner a little late, but we still won most the prizes ;). Thanks again to Greg, Damon and Seedy (and whoever else was involved) for setting this up. We ended the night in the room drinking/watching TV.
Fri: Before Dromo1 we went to check out Super Autobacs. This place was basically an enlarged version of the Pep-Boys "ricer" isle. There were some cool things there though. We weren't allowed to take pics. We headed to Dromo1 and did all the cool stuff there that you've heard about already. After karting a lot of us went to Dave&Busters in Irvine for food/drinks/etc. This place was sweet. Basically an arcade for adults (had a bar in the middle and a lot of hot women everywhere). After that, we headed back to the hotel and BSed with Damon and Mad Mike for a while (while continuing to drink ;-) ).
Sat: Well most of the day was the car show stuff, I won't bore you with more about it; just look at the pics. The rest of our clan went to go see Steve Millen race. I couldn't go because I was riding back to Vegas with the Vegas guys (missed the closing dinner too). When we got back to Vegas, we ended the week with some more drinking. Went to some German place and had two liters of beer each. Then went to the Hard Rock and did nothing for a bit.
Well that's pretty much the jist of it. Yes my camera sucks. Sorry if I forget to mention anyone. And HUGE thanks go to genic for the hosting space!
