[East] PAX East Parties

If you pay for the premium account (http://www.curse.com/premium/plan) you're premium, if not you're a lowly registered member. If I were hosting this party I'd allow the premium members top-shelf drinks. But I am not hosting.

Looks like Irrational Games has some fun stuff planned... http://irrationalgames.com/insider/irrational-games-at-pax-east-2012/

Yup. I've already got my invite to their shindig. Can't wait.

I didnt know they were sending invites to this years party. Forums?

Yup.

Holy shiat, Felt is closed?! That sucks! And so close to PAX!!! Hopefully GGW will be able to find another venue?

Also, hopefully a MOD will see this, but the OP from RevGutter now in this thread is from 2011, not 2012!! Could someone please delete it?

I'm so lowly, but I'm wondering do I just waltz in with my Curse username or...what?

Anyone hosting a party for old school gamers Saturday night?

I'm assuming just your name will suffice since you gave them that when you signed up. Someone spelling out XxX-Goku-Iz-Cool_69 would probably hold up the line.

You can only get away with so many drug busts/dealing and assaults in Boston before you get shut down. Exactly what happened to Felt.

Aw man, got excited to read this before noticing the date on the FB group posts, and then this..

PLEASE IGNORE THE POST ABOVE THIS ONE AS IT IS FROM 2011 NOT 2012!!!!

So obviously I read this thread at the 11th hour and there's nothing official going on at the Wizard, but just out of curiosity, is there anyone in the area that might want to go some time tonight anyway? Been looking for a good excuse to head over anyway. Still need to beat my high score on Ice Cold Beer.

my lord how the forum is confusing me. looks like a bunch of random threads from last year are showing up first.

Moe's gonna be busy today.

JayDfromMA

I will see everyone at Curse on Sat. Hopefully if I ask world of tanks really nicely I can get in for tomorrow night

Got Haggis?

The Secret World is having a party Saturday - you need to stop by their booth to get an invite:

CaillerCountry

While it's not a party per se, anybody that will be there on Saturday, our writers are going to see "The Raid:Redemption" since it's only playing in major US cities. It's being called one of the best action movies of all time so we figured some fellow PAXers might be down for a late night viewing. RSVP event is here: http://www.facebook.com/events/240448102720040/?context=create Hope to hang with some of you!

oregonjon

Not exactly a party, but I've been trying to organize a run on Saturday morning, starting at Eastport Park (end of D street) at 10 AM. Something real casual, and probably slow, because, you know, hangovers.

Thirded. Anyone going to a club? Any good clubs near the convention center?

Ohy

So curse party today guys? I have two friends who did no RSVP will they be able to wait in line to see if they can make it in if they have open spots? Anyone know

MrOletta

Last nights World of Tanks party was a lot of fun. Lots of people there, but there was never a line for the open bar.

I hope tonight's Curse party is fun too! I wish the weather wasn't so cold and windy as it makes walking there quite unpleasant. The wife and I will try to catch the last 8pm shuttle there from our hotel to avoid the walk.

gfish

Anything else tonight? Pub, dance, whatever?

AlexBader

Anyone know if there are pictures of the Curse afterparty posted anywhere?

Scrump

World of Tanks Party was soooooooooo good! Anyone else go? Anyone have a link to the photographer's site?

MrOletta

WoT party was really awesome. Just the right amount of people (Curse party was really packed..), the music wasn't obscenely loud, and the bar line was always short.

WoT link #1

WoT link #2

vttym

WoT party WAS awesome.. I remember up to the cake cutting.. then, well.. I remember waking up. Problem is, I have been told I didn't get to my room until 3, so... yeah..

Some (not sober) pics of my group towards the end of those pic links above, @MrOletta .. thanks for sharing..

Krissta

Irrational party was great, as usual. Very laid back. Great cosplayers, and I even won a raffle and got myself a sweet Bioshock: Infinite-themed messenger bag! The entire party was taped by G4's X-Play, so I might make it on TV!

JayDfromMA

I had a lot of fun at the World of Tanks party on Friday. The Curse party on Saturday was such a fun time and I easily could have stayed there well past last call. A big thanks to all the companies. This was my first year actually attending parties and I had an amazing weekend!

Chucker

Anybody have any pictures of The Witcher 2 EE Party? I know there were some professional photographers there and I am pretty sure I was photographed. Also I have been told I was dancing my butt off.

Anyone who went to the Curse After Party, and is looking for pictures they can be found here:

I feel the same way.....

Also- this guy was taking pictures too, I'm guessing in an unofficial capacity. Can anyone tell me if you know him and he's posting his pictures somewhere? I know there were some of me and my friends that I'd like to get a hold of.

Nothing better than seeing yourself and going "I don't remember posing for that"

Randomfool

Curse party was fantastic.

I know there's at least a few more official pictures hidden on Facebook. I somehow saw a few of them which going through the album a second time. I hope they post them cause my friends we're in a couple of them.
