For those who are attending PAX for the first time: this thread has all the information you could ever want to know.

--------

Also, a little side note: I'm once again going to be a gym leader (and this year, co-administrator/organizer!) for the Pax Pokemon League which will have me handing out badges to worthy Pokemon Trainers who defeat me in battle. There are 20 other gym leaders, and an Elite Four, and a Champion to defeat... so if you're looking for something exciting to do at PAX (or want to collect a set of 25 pins!), take the Pokemon League challenge!

I'll also be handing out my own personal pin to awesome people I encounter at PAX. You may remember last year's... well, this one is second in the collection! :B

[King Kool]

I've got my pass and I'll quite likely be there.

[Lord Hosk]

I have my pass I may or may not be able to attend, watch this thread for the ability to purchase my pass if I can not attend.

[Master Gunner]

I was originally planning to go to PAX East, however Fayili has made vague threats on my life if I do not attend Prime. So I don't think I'll be able to make it this year, unfortunately.

[Tally]

I really want to make it out some year, but it doesn't look like this is that year.

[Graham]

Fruity Rumpis Asshole Factory? You sure that name doesn't need more workshopping? No? Okay then. Asshole Factory it is!

We will be there.

Just who "we" is remains to be seen. Likely myself, Paul, James and Kathleen. Final lineup TBA.

[General Michi]

I appreciate your condolences

[King Kool]

PAX East 3-Day Passes are all sold out.

[Lord Hosk]

PAX East 3-Day Passes are all sold out.

So If you want to go, you better create a gaming website with 10 million hits a day or an app that gets downloaded more than angry birds.

[King Kool]

Ten million? I don't think TGWTG gets 10 million a day. I doubt Expedia.com gets 10 million.

[Lord Hosk]

But if you don't have a invite now you have to do something super extra ordinary not just awesome.

[psychopez]

I'm going. Last year I went last minute, got a hotel room, and shared it with 2 other last minute friends and another friend who was an hour's drive from the convention center and was going to drive to/from and decided to rather get a place closer.

This year, the wife of the couple found a condo to rent that is near one of the hotels that has a bus to the con, and got it 2 months after Pax East ended. Every week with her it's been "Only 8 more months until Pax, you excited?"

It's only now that I'm starting to get excited.

@AlexanderDitto - I stopped playing Pokemon: White after the 4th badge, I may bring it out again to get a team up to 50. Maybe not a good team, but a silly themed team...

[Kirkygirl]

Were I not a poor student I would be on the same damn plane as the LRR crew...

[Fezzul]

All sold out? Fuck.

Well there go my plans for spring break...

[Lord Hosk]

You can still buy three daily passes it will just cost more

[plummeting_sloth]

I think I may have blown much of my con enthusiasm and time at MAGfest but I hope those going here have even but a quarter of the awesomeness I experienced up in Boston.

[Fezzul]

I might still go, but I can't afford to buy my passes yet. When does everything sell out by?

[Lord Hosk]

mid to late january

[Fezzul]

Time to go busking then...

[AlexanderDitto]

I really want to make it out some year, but it doesn't look like this is that year.

Aww darn. Was terribly excited about finally meeting you! Some day it will happen. I'll send along a button for you with the crew. And perhaps something more...

Fruity Rumpis Asshole Factory? You sure that name doesn't need more workshopping? No? Okay then. Asshole Factory it is!

We will be there.

Just who "we" is remains to be seen. Likely myself, Paul, James and Kathleen. Final lineup TBA.

Listen, Rainbow Rumpus Party Town was supposed to be a terrible name, but I said it in jest and people latched on to it like remoras to a shark. Clearly, the answer is to make the name even more terrible. That shit has been workshopped to perfection (or once again stolen from the webcomic MSPaintAdventures).

Glad to hear at least some of you guys will be there. I hope it's all of you, of course, but I know it's a long trip. We'll send our well wishes back with you to those who can't make it, either way.

@AlexanderDitto - I stopped playing Pokemon: White after the 4th badge, I may bring it out again to get a team up to 50. Maybe not a good team, but a silly themed team...

Excellent! We love silly themed teams. There will be gym leaders of every skill level available, even if you're not a super-tough trainer, you still should be able to get some victories in! And some leaders will award you for creativity and style in your team. :B

[sasparilla]

I'll be there!! Super excited!

[Matt]

I REALLY, REALLY want to go. I missed it last year, and was GUTTED that I couldn't go. But I'm not sure it's in the cards this year, no matter how bad I want it to be.

If I can make it, I will.

[tak197]

FUUUUUUU...

I didn't get my pass. I was waiting for my current paycheck to clear, and that won't happen until Tuesday.

I still really really really really want to go, so I guess I need to wait.
