    RE:
    ....♦ 5pm Second Annual Pre-PAX Sky High Tabletop Play Benefiting Food Lifeline
    ......@ Columbia Tower Club, 701 5th Ave 76th Floor, Seattle, WA, 98104
    ......Ticket/Cost: $45+ (Buy Online) Print Prior To Arrival
    ......Age Restriction: 21+; possible dress code

    It would be good to include that the ticket price includes dinner. Perhaps:

    ......Ticket/Cost: $45+ (Buy Online, dinner included) Print Prior To Arrival

    And there is a dress code - no sandals, sportswear (caps, beanies, etc), or shorts. Cosplay is encouraged!

    (And thanks, Hingo, for the add!)

    We are throwing a fun party on Thursday, August 28th for developers from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Free drinks and food. Message me if you'd like an invite, especially if you are from the middle of America.

    Is this open to devs only? If it's devs only then this probably isn't the right location to list it since this is PAX community.

    There's been a slight alteration to the Pre-PAX Dinner's ticket purchasing:

    NOTICE ABOUT THE FINAL DAY OF TICKET PURCHASING: Due to the unusually slow ticket sales of this year I'm going to be ending the ticket sales one week before the event on the 21st of August. This is so that I can provide the caterer with a final guest count and not have to buy way more food then I have to. Ticket prices will be unaffected by this since we are over the minimum needed for the buffet pricing.

    Not exactly a party, but:

    "The Fortnite team is pleased to announce the next Storm Chasers event will be in Seattle during PAX Prime. We’ll be playing tons of Fortnite, hanging out and enjoying delicious Durrr-foods and beverages. If you are going to be in the area on Saturday, August 30 or Sunday, August 31 we want to hear from you!

    Shoot us an email at stormchasers-prime@epicgames.com if you are interested (and 13 years or older.)

    Can’t wait to meet you!"

    I went to the fortnite even in Portland. It was good. You got a long play session. I can't wait for the full game.

    If it is like Portland, they will rent some space that will be separate from the show floor and have people cycling in to play in waves. I can't remember if it was one or two hours total. PM me for more details so we don't clog this post.

    This sounds awesome to me. I would love to go. I am worried about how they are going to keep the VR equipment clean from person to person though. Any info on that? putting a headset on your face after several others without some form of cleaning or something is a fast way to catch the dreaded concrud.

    I had the same thought. I would love to do this but PAX POX scares the living snot out of me after that first year when I got it.

    I didn't go to the VR party last year, but a friend of mine who went said they had disinfectant wipes for the equipment when I asked him that question?? So hopefully they'll be doing that this year. I'm excited to go to that party this year, it sounds fun. Although I'll try bringing my own disinfectant wipes, just in case.

    And with that it's going on my calendar along with a note to bring wipes. <3

    Very true! We'll have disinfectant wipes placed at every demo station. We'll also ask all demonstrators to have a microfiber cloth handy to do a quick wipe before every showing. However, there is nothing we can do to prevent mind altering VR experiences. ;)

    This hasn't been officially announced so I don't have the full details, but...

    Saturday 8/30
    Fangamer/Attract Mode show
    1927Events - 1927 3rd Avenue, Seattle
    Random aka Mega Ran will be performing, and I'm sure there will be others.

    That's all I know. I'm sure Fangamer will be announcing it pretty soon, but if people are already making plans based on this thread then they should know that this is happening. It was super packed last year so...

    I'm new to event bright. Is it trustworthy? Do you have to create an account with it before using? Has anyone had trouble with it? I just wanted some feedback before jumping in. I've never heard of it until this thread so I'm a little cautious.

    Eventbrite is a very well known popular event ticketing service. Eventbrite is fine. That doesn't mean users using it are all fine. It's just a service, and there can be bad apples using a service.

    It's a great service by as Zerzhul said the people using it may not be great.

    However I can say this. I have used it several times while getting tickets for Pax parties and the like, and have never not once has any issues with the people that are running the ticket portion of the events. They all seemed like great people.
