Never visit my sister's work if you want to keep the illusion of peacocks being only slightly flustered. She will tell you otherwise.

could beta angel please clarify this for the rest of us young'uns
It is 21+. It takes place inside of a bar so they're not going to let any minors in. Unfortunately you'll have to skip this one, but there are other events going on Thursday night.

The Pre-PAX Dinner is an over 21 event this year. This is the first year it's been so, which may be where some of the confusion is.
60% of the tickets are gone. We have about 40 left. It's lookin like epicness.
I have an extra 6 years on me that you can totally have if you can figure out how to extract them from me without killing me.

Pulled pork ftw.
And I have an extra 30 years that I'll donate with the limits as mentok. That should help several people.
It's probably a little to soon to tell. Traditionally the wonderful, not-sung-enough folks who plan the Pre-PAX and Post-PAX dinners at Prime and East do try amazingly hard to both make it all ages and affordable. Sometimes that simply isn't possible. When given the choice, like this time, between no Pre-PAX dinner at ALL and having it be 21+ I think it's safe to say that even the under-agers can understand and agree that 21+ is the better choice. I'm sure, next year, that BA and/or whoever else organizes this amazing event will try just as hard to make it an all ages one. <3 BA! The manliest woman I know.
Yeah, let's go ahead and ask that question in 7-8 months? I can't promise an all-ages event especially when I can't even promise the event itself.
Please understand that there is a *lot* of work that goes into planning something like this. I didn't arbitrarily decide "Oh!! 21+ Dinner." I explored several avenues in an effort to make the Pre-PAX Dinner viable. Last year, I spent a ton of money out of my own pocket to keep the tradition of the dinner alive and believe me when I say, it was not easy financially. However, I did it and I mentioned it to no one because I wanted the dinner to work, I wanted PAXers to have this tradition continue as a place to meet and hang out. It worked out, everybody had fun and I felt good about what I was able to put on. This year, I was not able to spend a ton of cash out of pocket, venues were more stringent with their requirements and costs went way up for *everything*. I tried my damnedest to do the very best I could and make this event possible. I know it's not fair to the under 21 crowd but it is what it is.
I've apologize numerous times and stated why things went the way they did and frankly, I'm getting a little worn out rehashing the same reasoning over and over again.
I am very sorry that those who wish to attend and cannot due to age restrictions are being forced to look for other options. As I have before, I had every intention on making this event all-ages, but it just was not possible. Bottom line is that this event is 21+ this year for better or worse. Am I happy about it? No. I'm thrilled that the Pre-PAX Dinner is actually *happening* this year, because it was very close to not occurring at all.
Oh no! Sorry. That's not how I meant it. I wasn't meant to look like it was complaining. XD I just wasn't sure, so I know I would have to pay ahead of time. If it's 21 + it is not a big deal. I will meet people at the convention center anyway. ^^ I'm sorry if it seemed like I was. Not saying it's unfair or anything either.
On a more positive note, the Pre-PAX Dinner has a whole 30 tickets left!!
There are 20 tickets left. If you're interested, buy now!!
Figured I should try to get involved in some more of the community events now that i seem to have this wallet destroying habit of hopping across the Atlantic to this event.
I turned 55 a couple of weeks ago. Hardly ancient. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
No offense meant savagehart. Certainly 55 is not ancient. After all of the concern about 21+, however, I had been concerned that anyone over 25 would be out of place. (I have 25 beaten by more than a decade.)
I'm 42, you'll fit right in.
