I'm in Seattle earlier than PAX, as I fly out of Toronto on 21st of August. Taking holidays (going to Victoria for a few days) and then back in Seattle from August 24-Sept 1. Was curious when everyone else coming in and where they staying.

I'll be at Hotel Max from August 27-Sept 1 (fly home on a 12:55pm flight)

I'm driving to/from PAX, since I'm within driving distance. I'll be missing the last few hours each night, but oh well.

...am I supposed to know you from somewhere? I don't know anyone from Whidbey Island...(I'm assuming that's where you're from, if you're taking a ferry)

No, I just assumed you could use your E-Stalking Skillz (I belive You named SWkillers School at one point with little to no clues). You Found a Photo of Paul Cristey and a Whole Biography.

Okay, taken off. Although, you yourself put it up on the internet...so why would you not want it here?

Stalking skills +1.

So, how are we going to all meet up as a group? We should arrange a meeting spot or something...or at least all wear an SG t-shirt.

I will be driving into Seattle as well and plan to wear my SG shirt. My wife bought us tickets to PAX for my birthday.

As far as a meeting time...hmmm. I don't know the schedule yet or where we will be etc. Perhaps we can sticky this thread and post as we get closer to the date?

I wish i was a tad bit older. I don't really feel like explaining to my mom why I would be compelled to go down to a game convention to meet up with a bunch of guys from the internet for what will probably turn into a drinking binge haha. Or for that matter why i would want to go to PAX in the first place. You guys had better be there in like 2 or 3 years!

The annual DVD that PA Inc. puts out that covers the entire PAX experience. You can but it at the penny arcade store

My site actually did a 50's style PSA about surviving the CCST, and they asked us to film for this

And now to sound even more naive, what's CCST? Sorry, you're talking to an Aussie here :P

Oh and what's your site?

I will! But Latin, the NYC PAX won't feature Jerry and Mike.

Doesn't matter, as long as we have one lol. Outside of Digital Life & a few larger Lan Partys, NYC doesn't get much love from the tech world. Almost everything goes down in California which I think sucks =) Me & the GF plan to move to San Francisco in 2012. The year she is expected to get her masters. If CA is STILL getting the a majority of the bigger Lans & Expos, we'll move there.

lol it's not long at all. i just have a very demanding job with the crappiest days off. Tuesday & Wednesday =P. I'm a Network Administrator. You have a better chance of hitting the lotto than to get a few days off with that position. I can get 1 day off here & there but figuring the travel time to CA & back to NY to go to work the next day, it isn't worth it. With my Job title however & the years of tech experience I have, I can easily get 1 of the many tech/NA positions that are available in CA. That's why i will make the move to CA if it is still the place to be for geeks =P. Aiming for Silicon Valley ;).

here is the schedule (http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/PAX_2008_Schedule.pdf), take note that if you're interested in any of the panels (like the podcasting one on Sunday that everybody MUST attend :thumbsup:) that you may not be able to see every one you want to because there are often 2-3 at the same time.
