Bandland isn't in Expo. I haven't checked the other maps, so I'm not sure where it is, but it's where the bands and celebs sit to sign stuff and sell merch.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bandland was where it was last year - in the hall on the 4th floor around the corner from the exhibition hall, at the foot of the escalators to the 6th floor. That's a nice open area, centrally located.

yup i just checked the map- its on the 4th floor west (on the map) of the bottom section of the exhibit hall
Lots of posts to dig through so sorry for asking again. Where is the main merch booth located, and what payment types do they take?
Thanks
The merch booth is on the 4th floor of the convention center in the south lobby, it takes cash and all cards. I recommend paying in cash, it is *much* faster.
You say that the building won't open till 8AM, is this new? I don't remember a problem turning up at about 7 last year, if you do turn up before 8 i'm guessing the furthest you can get is out on the street?
Also I'm guessing the Badge pickup location is going to be easy to find outside, i'm not sure what condition i'm gonna be in after my flight tomorrow. :P

The easiest way to find it will be to head inside the building, past FedEx Kinkos and to the left of the escalators go out the doors to the tunnel and turn left.

My flight is delayed, and now is set to arrive at 12:25, 15 minutes after the last train. Anyone still know the name of a shuttle service? Otherwise, what can I expect to pay for a cab?

The exterior doors to the common area open at about 6am. The south lobby and queue room don't open until 8am. Registration is outside in the Convention Place tunnel.

Hi, this'll be my first PAX, just had a question or two, sorry if it's been asked already :S. Anyway, just wanted to know if they clear out the theaters between each panel. See, I wanna see the Mega 64 Panel which goes til 8PM in the Pegasus Theater but then also want to see Giant Bomb in the Pegasus theater at 8:30. So will I be forced out of the theater? I'm afraid that only being a half hour early to Giant Bomb may not be enough if there's already a large line. Should I just skip Mega 64 if I really wanna see Giant Bomb?
As a similar question, how long is generally long enough as far as lines go?

Yes, theatres are cleaned out between panels.
An hour is usually a good bet, but it all depends on how popular a panel is.

I have my badges, but I need to know a few things as it is my first PAX. When/where do I get the Official PAX Goodie Bag? I also need to know, about what time should I show up before 10am? I'm guessing the line will be huge to get in.

In the Queue Room to the Expo Hall, or the line up at the Paramount
8am is the earliest you can begin lining up.

While the barcode is preferable, Registration can track your badge by the alphanumeric code in your email if your barcode turned into a broken image link.
Just thanking you for this note. Search is a wonderful thing.
Is there a twitter feed or smartphone app that will have line status updates? twitter.com/PAX_lines hasn't been touched since East 2011; just wanted to see if that would work.
"gay" and "rape". You keep on using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Sweet, I got the FAQ updated 2 days before PAX! Don't know why I'm so excited about that. Probably just spill over from me trying to contain my excitement at my last day at work before heading West...
Do you guys know if he'll be signing autographs at the end of it? I'm trying to do this favor to a friend of mine that's a huge Wil Wheaton fan and she wants me to get him to sign her Stand By Me DVD.
Hello, Hello, I'm taking the bus from vancouver to seattle and it ends up at:
200 Taylor Avenue North.( right in front of Best Western Executive Inn). What's the best/easiest way to get to the Convention center?
Wouldn't mind walking but is it too far?
I've done this last year. The walk isn't too unbearable, depending on the amount of stuff you're carrying. Although you are looking at a 10-20 minute walk.

your best bet is to follow him on twitter and to check out his Bandland hours AT bandland.. there really isn't much time after a panel for people to do signings.

Wil will probably be signing things at his booth in Bandland. That's where you should go if you want an autograph.

Ahh okay, sweet. This means I don't have to be at his panel. Time to rearrange my Friday schedule
AHHHH 2 days till PAX and only half the tickets I ordered arrived! We put in two orders of 5 tickets each, which I received confirmation numbers and was charged for, but only one envelope with 5 tickets showed up! I emailed pax_questions@paxsite.com yesterday and today with no response... any suggestions? Think we can just pick them up at 'Will Call'?

I can chip into to say that pax_questions@paxsite.com is essentially dead. I can't get an email response either.

It is, but is is on the overall 4/6 level map http://m.guidebookapp.com/297/map/788/
It will be once official maps go live, but just so you know it's on the 4th floor across form the queue room

I have no idea how popular Mega 64 or Giant Bomb will be. However, if you want to make sure you make it into Giant Bomb, it's probably a good idea.
