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!
[EAST] Pre-PAX East 2012 Gaming Night - Thursday, April 5, 2012 - Westin Waterfront Hotel

The Wall Street Journal used to have a regular cocktail column, and they did a great article one time on how to create good custom cocktails. I advise checking it out.
My all time favorite, though it's comic rather than videogame derived, was the Rorschach cocktail: 2 oz bourbon, 1 ice cube, no compromises!

Good points, @koalabro2 & @rhiley. 'Theme' could mean a name or a recipe - either works. I'll definitely check out Drunken Moogle!
Still collecting ideas though - the hotel is setting up a special area for us this year, and although we're not obligated to order from the bar, anything that will encourage folks to do so will go a ways toward making both parties happy with the arrangement.
(Though just for the record, you would totally drink my beer milkshakes)

Well some of the area is tables for the actual bars/restaurants for the hotel. People will be getting together in the hotel all weekend, no doubt, but it's not all just "sit down and chill" area.

That is true, one of the brewpubs around here does a porter milkshake and it is awesome.

I had to check out Kittens in a Blender on BGG. That looks hilarious. I think I might see if I can get a copy before PAX. It looks like a great game to play in the lines.
Old Chub from Oskar Blues + coconut ice cream = HEAVEN IN YO MOUF
I heart me that damn sexy maid game! Do you have the full art promo cards thy sell at the BGG store?

Cool, hope to try the game out with a full team at PAX East and get the expansion while I'm at it. I think I got the promo cards while I was at PAX prime last year. I'll have to check. But look forward to seeing you and the rest of the folks soon.
Here's a couple ideas off the top of my head:
- Dead Island Iced Tea (Long Island with grenadine or cranberry instead of coke ... great companion for a game of Zombie Dice.)
- A crowbar (Essentially a screwdriver, or you could make it with orange pop if you wanted it to be different ... for that strong, silent scientist in you.)
As for games, I'll bring along Bohnanza, Munchkin Booty, and The Resistence. I'll also try to shrink down two of these three, Wits & Wagers, Balderdash, or Dixit, into a smaller bag more conducive for airline travel.
Staying at the Seaport but I'll walk over to The Westin if there isn't a decent crowd. This'll be my first PAX so I'm not sure what to expect.
i'm totally in OMGPAXISGOINGTOBEAMAZING mode right now, so feel free to ignore me.
I feel you. I think i've been on the forums more in the last week than I have... ever? Excited.
Oh no young lady, you'll be playing games! I'm counting on you for a game of Kittens in a Blender and Miskatonic School for Girls!

To anyone who might be interested in splitting a cab from the airport to the hotel; My flight gets in at around 2pm on Thursday. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
i read this and went 'no way, you're exaggerating.' then i checked a calendar. yeesh!!
You could take the Silver Line from the Airport to the World Trade Center station. [4 minute walk from the BCEC] Much cheaper, 27 minute ride. Even comes equipped with luggage racks! That's how i got to South Station last year.
Yep, I've officially graduated to that myself. I've gotten to the internal spaz point and I'm SOEXCITEDHOLYSHIT. Ahem.
I can't believe I'm staying at the Westin this year. This is beyond perfect. I can't wait to meet people and play new games! ^^

I hope I'm busy at work, otherwise the days will be tortuously slow.

Someone either lives in Boston and has a car or you just have a ton of room in luggage for it. Either way, I love you for it because I love all those games.
It takes a while to learn
Yay! So excited to play. We will be over after pre-PAX dinner.

What's Scrabble? Is it a deck-building card game or a dungeon crawling co-op board game?
[/troll]
That's not a bad suggestion, though, in case there's anyone that doesn't really do the more obscure/niche board/card games.

Uh.. Last time I played scrabble we made it into the most devastating drinking game known to man due to us having magnificent vocabularies that span the most voluminous of words.. In essence, we trolled ourselves to unconsciousness with liquor and knowledge. It was epic. And I never want to do it again.
I also will not be at this event due to drinking myself stupid at the pokecrawl... so don't mind me.
