<div class="IPBDescription">Who's Going?</div> Most if not all of you should know about the <a href='http://pennyarcadeexpo.com' target='_blank'>Penny Arcade Expo</a>, or PAX. It's being held in Bellevue, Washington at the end of August blah blah. Check the website. Now the important stuff:

Who's going? This topic's gonna be a big list; I'll update this post as people say they'll be there. Maybe we could set up an NS Forums team to compete in a bunch of the tournaments that you sign up for when you get there. We could kick serious butt.

<b><u>List so far:</u></b><ul><li><b>TychoCelchuuu </b>aka Danny Weltman</li><li><b>NeonSpyder </b>aka Ryan Czech</li><li><b>Nukethepalce </b>aka Tall Werewolf</li><li><b>funbags </b>aka Dirty Hippy</li></ul>Possibly attending:

<b>[WHO]Them</b> aka Dave
<b>Renegade's Mysterious Friend</b> aka It's Renegade

    I <i>might</i>, but I'd have to start planning it out. I couldn't go alone, so it all depends on if I can get a friend to come with me. But if I can then hells yes!

    I was planning (Like back in December) to go with a friend.. but she stopped talking to me back in May.. so I am unfortunately without anyone to go with, and as such am not going at all =/

    Bleh, I missed Necrowombicon 2 to hang out with that friend, and now I'm missing PAX2 because she never wants to hang out with me again. I can never win

    I don't have a spare £1000 to afford all the travelling to another country halfway across the world stuff so no, I'm not coming unfortunately :p
  • NuketheplaceNuketheplace Join Date: 2002-09-02 Member: 1266Members
    I'm going. If you see a super tall guy with black curly hair that would be me.
  • funbagsfunbags Join Date: 2003-06-08 Member: 17099Members
    I'm going. I'll be the kid with the mohawk. I'm going for MC Chris, so you'll probably see me there. I just need a way to get there.
  • [WHO]Them[WHO]Them You can call me Dave Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10593Members, Constellation
    I'm thinking about it since it's so close (hell, I drive right past meydenbaur center on my way to work every day).
  • DiscoZombieDiscoZombie Join Date: 2003-08-05 Member: 18951Members
    it's across the country from me, so I don't think I'll be going. I kinda want to, but at the same time, I'm honestly not sure what there would be to do of interest to me there... table top gaming? blech. playing LAN games with a whole lot of strangers? might as well just play online... the concert is the only worthwhile sounding thing - and the Omegathon, but being that the chance of getting in that is like 1 in 1000, forget it. :>
  • The_FinchThe_Finch Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8498Members
    I'd go if it wasn't at the same time I had to head back to college. I wants me a sketch of Charles and to see MC Frontalot bust out his inconceivable rhymes.

    Well, there is the Exhibitor's Hall. Tons of companies showing off their newest games.

    Or the tournaments. Team and individual games ranging from Warcraft III to console crap. Along with the Omegathon, there are tons of discussions, panels, and presentations to attend, to say nothing of the musical performances or the Red vs Blue showings.

    If you want a rundown of what PAX was like last year (and it'll be 2x better this year) check out my obscenely long and in-depth article <a href='http://fragfiles.org/page/59' target='_blank'>here.</a> It's not boring though.

    Well, seeing as I live in the area I <i>could</i> attend. Then again, I'd prefer not to drown in a sea of nerdyness.

    I do, however, have a friend who's going. He's a lurker here on the boards and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to meet you guys there. PM me and I'll give you his info.

    Sure, Ren. A "friend". Not you. Oh no.

    ;P

    For anyone actually going, be sure to check out The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. They should be playing there at some point.... Why should you care? I got my name from one of their songs.

    I sortof attended the first one, but the overwhelming stench of nerds without deoderant on the first day really got to me. I don't think I'll be going this time around (it'll probably be worse), but my friend will.

    I'll wear deodorant! I'll bring some along and surreptitiously rub it on people if I must. I'll tell them it makes girls kiss them or that it gives you extra lives or something.

    I could buy that horrid Axe body spray; it would double as mace for the creepy nerds.

    I'm no dirty hippy!

    Anyway. Those of you who are going, what are your plans? I think I want to go all 3 days, but it would be such a hassle since the doors close at 2AM the first two days, and I live out on Bainbridge Island. I was thinking it might be possible to rent a hotel or something.

    As for the actual expo, yeah, we should DEFINATLY put a team together. I'll be occupied with the musical event the first two days (12-1:30am, 10-12:30) because that's all I'm really coming for (<33 MC Chris)

    The only games that they're having tournaments in that I'm good at is BF2 (Which I only own the demo of) and CS (Which I hate, but I'd play a tourney with you guys)

    Then there's also freeplay, where we should rock NS hardcore.



    Take a look at the PAX event list.

    Let me reiterate... i have a room at the Doubletree hotel.
    <img src='http://www.penny-arcade.com/pax/img/hotels_hotel.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />



    And there is floorspace available for:


    a. Partying.
    b. More Partying.
    c. Sleeping space for the exchange of monies.
    d. See Above


    Also my plans include going there friday at noon. enjoying Pax. crashing/partying at hotel room. then the second day enjoy pax and win some tournaments. then crashing/partying. third day includes more of the same.

    Catch my drift?
