    I'm flying out of Memphis, TN tomorrow morning. Any other Southeastern US peeps attending? How far is everyone traveling to attend this year? According to Delta Airlines I'm gonna be flying 1865 miles.

    I'm taking the bus. It'll take me about 30-40 minutes tops to reach downtown. Maybe another five to ten minutes in the downtown bus tunnel.

    Driving down to PAX from Canada ~1100km (690miles). Driving over 2 days, so not too bad. Most of the way there now, will complete the last ~200km tomorrow. Super excited! First PAX!

    If you are flying, TAKE THE LIGHT RAIL FROM THE AIRPORT. I cannot stress this enough.

    I'll be doing the same, I live about 15 minutes away driving from the station. Makes it super easy.

    I'm flying out from Detroit Metropolitan tomorrow around noon. Looking forward to experiencing Seattle and PAX with like-minded folk!

    Hopefully we'll take PAX over like we took PAX East over.

    If I went, it'd take 15 minutes or less to get there. Unfortunately I'm not going though. It's just nice to know that a game convention is so close to home, like everything else.

    Driving up from Boise, so about an 8 hour trek. Not too bad.

    I'm flying from Rapid City, South Dakota. There's a chance I'll be the only such person there! Not very far, distance-wise, compared to you Southeastern US folk, but trust me, the tickets probably cost more :P

    Only a 5 hour drive from Oregon for me, its pretty easy too, I can make it in one go no stops which really speeds up the process.

    @bretthancock: Just thought I'd let you know that your post about the Light Rail saved me and my friend both time and money! We were trying to use the Shuttle Express and it was taking forever (and was going to cost about 32 bucks + tip), so I decided to get on the GB mobile site and see check out feedback on my post here. Needless to say, we took the Light Rail for $2.75 each and didn't have to wait in line at all. Thanks a lot, man!
