Anyone going to this summer?

I live in the area and was thinking of dropping in for at least 1 day.

I've been thinking about it but my travel budget for the year was pretty much blown attending Sakura-con over there a couple of months ago.

Got the 3 day passes for my wife and I bought already! Last year we barely left the dealers room it had so much cool stuff to look at. Which is a shame cause their were some excellent panels too. Hope to see you there!

I've been ordered to go since the condo remodel (and life in general) has pretty much stopped my hobby activities.

So maybe I'll see some of you there. But then only Kane and Arabin know what I look like. LOL

I will be there, at least for the Saturday. My wife and I attended the last two years, and meant to book tickets early... just haven't got around to it.

Now, if only Denny would open up the WWG T-Shirt shop again, we could all wear one and find each other easily. Mind you, Kane should be easy to spot since he's about 8ft tall

I do tend to stand out in a crowd don't I? LOL

My wife and I will be attending. A few members of the Battle Forum and Clan BOB will be attending. All of Team XYYZY of FFG will be there. Jerry and Mike* said if I didn't attend their shingding this year (I've been making excuses for the past three years now), they'd boycott my participation in the PA gaming clans and remove me from their XBox Live Friends lists.

So yeah, you can meet me, but I'll be really, really busy. On Friday night, I'm attending the little private Rockband party at Mike's. Saturday, I have to go hang out with the clan/forum people and visit the gaming booths.


* Jerry and Mike are - for those not in the know - Gabe and Tycho. We are friends that predate the formation of Penny Arcade, so I still talk to them via email, Skype and the phone.

PAX is high on my list of things gamers need to do before they die. I have been to everyone and they just get better each year.

If you live close you should undoubtedly make the trip, and stay for Saturday's concert, Good lord hearing the Mario two soundtrack in hard rock is mindblowing!

I actually helped organize the first one, although I wasn't there when it happened because my work out there expired before the show. They yanked me back a week early, and it made me and Mike very sad pandas that I could not attend.

I always said I would make it for #5.

Honestly, if any of you want to meet, we ought to have someone make us a printable image to put on a T-shirt, buy a cheap shirt and inkjet iron on and make us all WWG T-shirts to wear (so we can recognize each other).

Otherwise, I'm the guy with the Fox Racing jersey with my name and MX number on the back.

Alternatively, we could pick a day, time and food emporium, then meet there. I know the Subway inside the convention center gets extremely packed, but there are lots of other choices nearby. Perhaps just meeting up at one of the coffee shops instead?

Sounds like we have quite a few people going.

i think it would be sweet to get some type of Wormhole event going. i would even build a full size fleet for just PAX!

You bring it, I'm sure someone will play with you if not me. I'll bring some people around to see it, so you can do the sales pitch instead.

XD

Last year, I didn't notice many (any?) locations to set up your own games. There was a DS/PSP lounge, and a bunch of rooms with events, but all the little tables around the place were swamped with people eating. Is there a location set aside for people to play their own games that I missed?

Arabin

It's almost here!

I'm only going to make it down on Saturday and will be wandering around (actually, heading right to the PP booth to check out Monsterpocalypse). I'll be there from 10 (opening) until 3 or 4.

I hope to see some of you folks there!

I'm a PA fan from way back, I'd love to go some year. I'd just like to shake those guys hands and congratulate them on making a living off art!!!

And good stuff, too. They have REALLY come a long way.

Can't wait! Got my 3 day badge last week. Gonna be fun!
