We just returned from ZapCon Eve, and we’re still grinning. The Mesa Convention Center is packed to the gills with arcade and pinball machines, great vendors, and awesome tournaments waiting to happen. This weekend is going to be great! Don’t miss out on ZapCon!
Here’s a little preview:

![We kind of prefer this one, actually. The first 15 or so machines are ours, nearly all for sale this weekend.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-3.jpg)
![Here's a close-up of that first one, our Chicago Cubs Triple Play pinball machine, lovingly refurbished in honor of our World Series champs.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-4.jpg)
![Here was another exciting sight this afternoon: There were ten brand new pinball machines delivered straight to the convention center. They're all available for play all weekend (though some are in the tournament area.)](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-5.jpg)
![They looked even better out of their boxes! Can you believe there are so many NEW games to play?](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-6.jpg)
![Our kids are always excited for ZapCon Eve. Milo had fun checking out some of the vintage games.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-8-rotated.jpg)
![The boss made sure to check out this Evel Knievel, amazingly restored by our friend Robert from Tucson.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-8a.jpg)
![The kids also had fun with this one, Killer Queen, a huge hit from last year, and a Best of ZapCon award winner.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-8b.jpg)
![But, of course, they ended up in the console room, playing Mario. This room is great, and it has a BAR on Saturday night too, hurrah!](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-9.jpg)
![We had fun checking out some of the early vendors, too. There's an extra row for merchandise this year, and we checked out some totally cool stuff.](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-9a.jpg)
![And here's the boss in our booth, down by the main entrance. It will look a lot better in the morning! We'll see you there!](http://ezh.qjk.mybluehost.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Zap-Eve-9b.jpg)
