Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Pre-Wizarding Fried Food Extravaganza! (#PWFFE)
Posts
The limits of the catering is that we are very very limited on what we could order, and it would really lose the informality I was going for. Otherwise, this effectively becomes Pre-PAX dinner for people who don't like lasagna
I think the general preference is for the informal approach, so that's what we'll stick with.
Great news! We'll have tables/booths at Moe's bar next door. It is a chilled place, everyone can pay individually, and they're geared up for a group of our size
Hugs and much geeky love to y'all
My name is Sofia (Sabotage) and I write for the awesome blog Capitol Hill Seattle (CHS). It's a widely read neighborhood blog in which your adventure begins.
In hopes to get some (more) publicity for this event, I am hoping that I can take tons of pictures of you lovelies in costume. I, myself, will be in costume, too and will be attending PAX over the weekend.
I've gotten all the details from this thread and hope some of you would be willing to pose. The pictures may not end up on the blog but I am happy to take down emails if you so wish for me to send them to you. You can view parts of my portfolio here, if you are weary.
Looking forward to meeting some of you. Feel free to PM if you have any questions or what not.
*Sofia*
PS for you out of towners...I got tons of knowledge (as I'm sure others do as well) about the neighborhood and Seattle.
Sounds like a cool idea to me. Not that we need a whole lot of publicity, I suppose. But any attention is good attention, right?
And also, I encourage you to join us in proper attire. Failure to do so may result in some of us being forced to cast terrible spells of woe upon you! Or not. Actually, we'll probably just get someone from Ravenclaw to sing karaoke at you. Frankly, it's just as bad.
Fuck yeah, fried food and drinking. I forsee lots and lots of brown vomit.
Reservation negotiations are ongoing. So far we have booths for 30+. I'm upgrading that to deal with our large capacity. I'm also finding out about capacity limits; don't want to get shut down by the fire dept. Police dept yes, fire dept no.
Also, esotastic, you have a PM.
Also, Sofia, you still don't have a PM. That's because I am lame. I will go write it now.
I'm already planning how we're going to do this better next year
Pike Fish Fry & Moe Bar are pretty small. Especially Fish Fry!
There's hot dog stands nearby along with Pita Pit, Quinn's (super expensive), Bimbo's (cheap & full of hipsters) and QFC (grocery store).
I will definitely try my best to be somewhat in costume (if not all). Not really prepared for a Harry Potter theme but I'm sure I can come up with something.
Guess not really trying to promote you guys per se but rather PAX and it's awesome patrons and activities. I will for sure put in a word or two about the charity.
Also, someone directed me to this thread. Same thing or not? I'm confused!
Last but not least, do you know if there's any other pub crawls going on?
First time PAX goer, honestly.
This is the meal before the drinking, Its all about adding a layer of grease to protect your innards.
Also since this is now a bar thing...is it all ages? can we get some folks in if we promise they won't drink?
The place seems pretty chilled from having talked to them, I don't think under 21s will be a problem, though I'll double-check.
Also, Sofia, you have another PM
For example, I'm 26...wallet got stolen and only have an expired ID. And they won't even let me in to bars.
You may also walk to Pike St. (which is in front of the hotel) go to the bus stop (indicated by yellow signs, pretty sure there's one across from you in front of American Eagle) & take either 10, 11, or 49. Ask the bus driver to call out Broadway. Walk up the hill to Broadway (main drag), make a RIGHT onto Broadway then a left on Pike. Fish Fry is at Pike & 12th. There's usually a sandwich board on the street.
It's easy to get to either way. Usually the bus drivers are helpful.
There's gonna be a lot of walking all night, but yes, this is definitely walkable. Otherwise, will be a very short taxi ride. Cheers!
Not proper attire, per se, but me and my group o'hooligans will be in Slytherin colors! I hope that shall suffice.

PAX Prime 2013 Buttoneer! Main Design Pending... But the Creeper is still waiting for you...
Slytherin House Elf for the Order of the Phoenix!
Just because we're arrogant, doesn't mean we're (completely) evil.
You two worry me.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
As a side note. PAX IS SO CLOSE! SWEET!
Ehem. Excuse my outburst.
I'm in the same spot as Sumi.
Ravenclaw Death Eaters Head of House
Pirate, Stormtrooper, Decepticon
I did not know that until you said it. That's awesome; it'll make my plans for before fried food and the crawl so much easier.
Decision made. Registration closed. Very sorry if you didn't make it onto the event! I promise that next year, I'll adequately plan for your enthusiasm, rent out a whole freaking stadium, and have a river rerouted to provide an endless supply of fish.
I hope you all can still love me!
