Went to PAX Prime the last twoyears. Pretty interested to see how the east coast version goes, even with the limited amount of info we have on what's going on at this point.
PAX East 2010
Concept »
The inaugural Penny Arcade Expo East took place at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts on March 26-28, 2010.
Okay, so who's going?
next year. I live on Long Island and am going to college in upstate New York so I'll probably go with a few friends. It was too much work to go this year for me.
Holy shit...Don't think I can go this year. Hope they have one next year. Only $50 for three days. That shit is insane.
Official schedule got announced today. No Giant Bomb Reunion Tour, but it looks like Jeff is on a panel with Ken Levine.

So Mike and Jerry are putting a lot of time and effort, bringing sponsors and musicians to a "lame ripoff" and selling out tickets for "a lame ripoff"...idiots.
Anyway I go to school in Boston, and PAX East are during the last 3 days of my spring break. I'm definitely going, just waiting for my badge to get here.@Marino said:
" Shit just got real, son.ARGH! Where is mine?!

" Why would I go to some lame ripoff of the real thing? :P "@AgentJ said:
" Nope, I've got the real thing in my back yard. "We get it, we get it
" @Marino: You're making me jealous. Quick question, what's the the [RED] under the three day pass mean? "The different types of badges (3-Day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Media, VIP, etc) are all different colors. I guess they put the color in text as a counterfeiting measure. Or maybe for colorblind? Hell, I don't know.
Actually, all of the passes are colored red but half of them say [BLUE] in text. There's a theory going around that all people with [RED] passes will receive access to Ekans, Arbok, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Mankey, Primeape, Arcanine, Scyther, and Electabuzz.

" I could go easily but I kind of don't have the slightest interest. I'll go one day to the real thing, not some ripoff offshoot. "
this is the real thing, you guys, it's just on the other coast :(
maybe not the original, sure, but it's not like PAX East is just a giant Potemkin village for gamers, with cardboard cutouts for booths in the exhibit halls, fake game kiosks, and impostor panelists.
Hey duders,
Just wanted to let you know that rufo and I just launched a PAX East edition of our ExpoJunkie mobile app. Check it out at http://pax.expojunkie.com.
If you're not familiar, ExpoJunkie PAX East edition is a free web app that gives iPhone & Android users a complete event schedule & maps for PAX. iPhone & Android 2.0 users even get full offline support, so you don't have to worry about lousy data connections at the show.
We hope you like it, and maybe we'll see you at PAX East!
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out ! Anyone going have extra passes for sale? I'm looking for a Sat & Sun ticket, and I am from Boston. I would really like to attend, so please e-mail me so we can talk $$. TownieDesign {at} gmail {dot} com
Went to the Jeff Green panel (will never forget his "dump truck full of dead mice with a twenty dollar bill at the bottom" line from Computer Gaming World.
Got up to leave and who is sitting behind me?? BIG JEFFY Gerstmann ! ! !
That's right.
Meant to say thanks for entertaining me for a decade plus but I got starstruck and choked.
I mean seriously deer in headlights choked. Choked worse than Sasha Grey. Welcome to PAX, featuring CHOKE by Chuck Palahniuk.
