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!
[PRIME] East Is Over, and so is this thread.

But for most hotels (or maybe all of them through OnPeak) you will not be charged on reservation. Most also allow for changing/cancelling up to a certain date (usually 14 days out, 30 days out, or even as little as a week out).
On a good note we got into the Homewood!

I want to make a Blitzcrank (from LoL) costume for PAX this year, and I need to get a hollow plastic ball for the body. I need it to be a little under 4 feet in diameter (I'm about 6 feet tall.) Does anyone know where I can get one? Preferably online, but I live in the Seattle area.
I did not wait simply because of how quickly things sold out last year. Also I don't believe I can be bumped due to family membership in travel rewards programs.

There is a forum for Pax Prime 2012 cosplays up and running right now if you have costuming questions. That way this forum does not turn into a copy of that one

I'll do the research myself if need be, of course, but I figured y'all probably have researched it to death. I'm not looking to go cheap- I live barely 4 miles (or 2 hours via public transport) from the convention center in Boston, so I have stayed at a hotel every single PAX East. I'm just peeking into the price ranges of Prime to consider going this year, or next year, as I'd love to go, and I'd get out of anniversary, Chrismas, and possibly birthday presents if I went "So.. we're getting on a plane and you're going to like it." and we showed up at Prime. Really it's mostly because we'd both love it, but I need to figure out numbers, and being used to Boston prices (which are insane) I'm just curious as to what I'd be looking at.
Post here, or PM me, or harrass the tall man in a pirate hat with pikachu ears and a black cloak at PAX east. Whatever, I'm not picky how I get the info, I'd just he appreciative if I got it.
Anywho, thanks again!

Here's hoping it doesn't happen, but you totally can be. (see: the story about the oakland raiders and the sheraton).

Unlike Boston, the WSCC is actually in downtown proper, so everything's basically within walking distance.
Expect to pay about $200/night after taxes for the PAX hotel rate.

They haven't even gone on sale yet. That site is for last year's, and will be updated (most likely) in the coming weeks. Rest assured you are still ok!
Oh, thank you! Sorry for bugging you.
Inb4 you get assigned to Edmonds, Washington, like a boss.
Here's the Magic card
And here's the band site
And here's my "proof of identity".
Either way, I'll be back at PAX someday. Was way too fun to only do once!
Fort Lewis, WA near Tacoma, that's where I'm trying to go. Being near PAX is 50% of the reason it's my first choice.
Cool! Thanks
Thank you all for your help/input
Anyone remember last year when after PAX East did PAX prime start their ticket and hotel sales? I assume the team will take a week off at least
The best thing is likely to call OnPeak and speak to someone instead of using the online system. You will be able to carefully explain your concern and they should be able to help you resolve it without any guesswork.

Usually things start up for the next pax about a month-ish after the most recent pax. This could vary though. Follow http://twitter.com/official_pax to know for sure.

Also, I might recommend that this year the crew update the site sometime after PAX to reflect that PAX is over and that badges will become available after East. I had a couple friends who didn't know better freak the hell out when they saw the "all sold out" from last year.
Also since apparently the workings of OnePeak are ill understood, perhaps an FAQ on that.

I wouldn't worry about the Sheraton being booked, as I understand these things (from people I know who used to work in this industry) they're well versed in what's going on where. Better to just cut those rooms off from booking now, rather than deal with "bumps" later. (The bookable rooms were because you never sell 100% of your rooms to a 3rd party, or at all for that matter, lest a pipe break in one room and you have no where to relocate the poor people.
By the By, Sign up for you hotel of choice's reward club. I will (inevitably) regret saying this, but last year as members of the club we were offered (by a hotel not named) the option to join forces with anyone we knew who had a second room at [said hotel] to upgrade to a Suite for [X] Dollars (the value was a bit confusing but it was either "The combined value of what both of us were paying" or "The value of what one of us were paying." either way 0 cost increase). They were trying to free up rooms quickly. Sadly my wife and I (being new to this game as it were) had no such friends and thus did not upgrade (thankfully someone did because we needed to extend our reservation through Sunday night, when originally we planned to stay with friends.)
Ah and I'll say this now (rather than later) but, despite my forum persona, I suck at the whole "meat space" thing, so if I see you and don't acknowledge, that's my oddity. Walk up, give a big hug and say "TSR!" and I might come out of my shell (or I'll run away, I've done that too. I'm a really really strange bird.) Someday, in a more OT forum, I'll tell you the story of how my failure to go from "Online" to "meat space" actually lead to me meeting (and creeping out) my (now) wife.
