PAX has probably the least intimidating "enforcers" I have ever seen.

It gets crazy when you think every single person there has an account on this site.

Big thanks to all the Duders wearing Hardcore Dave T-Shirts in the audience. Shame Dave doesn't get any panel time. He should have his own panel called "lounging with snider"

That's too bad. That lady didn't get the only signature that matters. Vinny's.

Did she get Dave Snider's? He sat in the audience.

I have now listened to early 80's soviet post-punk/ska....and I LIKE IT damn you, you fiend, and the best thing is I don't have a fucking clue what they are singing about.

Me neither, I've picked up a few words and found some translations a long time ago which I've since lost, but nothing beats putting a little discomfort, hopelessness and desperation into an otherwise overly happy genre.

What was that one song called where it was like "a message to you from meeeee" or somethin that Pope was singing?

The Specials - A Message to you, Rudy.
Their " Friday Night, Saturday Morning" is infinitely more awesome though.
EDIT: Apparently The Specials didn't write A Message to you, Rudy, it's a cover of a Dandy Livingstone song.

While this was amazing, nothing will ever beat early 80's soviet post-punk/ska bands like DK.

I talked with that guy while in the queue room. He is not visually impaired. In fact he's in the military. No idea why he was wearing glasses.

What I've learned from this and past PAX panel videos: we, the Giant Bomb community, are some ugly motherfuckers (myself included, despite my absence from PAX).

Dude, that is some pretty solid ska.

Also, MADNESS!!! Amazing!

Ska needs to come back. It is hard to be pissed at anything in life when you are listening to some ska.
