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!
PAX EAST 2012 FAQ AND INFORMATION THREAD. (PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS HERE)

I must know more about this! Is there a link?
I don't think there's a tabletop tourney thread anywhere. I think what Nullzone posted is the extent of it, except whatever's on the pax schedule.

Edit: Also CFP is open until 2am IIRC. Last checkout is earlier than that though.
You will get some at the show.
you will receive a lanyard when you pick up your swag bag upon arrival.
You can take the Silver Line on the T (MBTA) from the Airport to the World Trade Center station.

Thanks in advance!
Yes, I am very slightly freaking out.
The mail cut off date was March 16th. They should be coming.

PAX will always be held on the best weekend for PAX. Sometimes that will be a bad weekend for you; I'm sorry.
I'm a street performer from Little Tokyo. What are the policies for busking/just playing music in general around PAX? I feel like people would really enjoy my act. I essentially have a colossal arsenal of video game music that I play on my trusty melodica. Here's a link for reference.
Would I be allowed to do this? This is my first time at a video game convention, and it's been my life-long dream to play at one of these.
As long as your not collecting money, doing it on the grounds outside the BCEC /MIGHT/ be ok.
please don't take my word for it though and consider contacting pax_questions@paxsite.com for a firm answer.
I've sent a couple emails, but no reply yet. There would be an actual problem with playing music inside the convention center? I've seen videos of folks just busting out instruments and playing in the convention center from previous years. Just curious.
Probably a good idea to leave that at home or in your hotel room.

No response to my shuttle question above?
there will likely be signs at the BCEC. Likely on Level 0 on the east side with all the hotel shuttles.
However, you can always check in with Info Booth at the front of the building on Level 1
At the Hynes (which is where I assume Anime Boston is) the shuttle is most likely on Boylston St. at the Hynes exit. For the BCEC, it's most likely at the turn-around near the Valets, near the main entrance. Not saying I'm correct, just that those are the most likely spots IMO.

Maybe a follow up question to this is....Are you sent through a metal detector upon entry to the BCEC?
Is there a way I can pick up my pass Thursday rather than Friday? And what are the times I can pick up my Pass?
Thank you!
Theres a safe in your room (I am too in the westin).
The front desk might be able to lock stuff up for you though.
Nope.
They go between the hotels and the BCEC and vice versa.

I really doubt anyone is going to stop you from getting on the shuttle. If you want to feel extra secure, wear your badge and flash it before you get on. As for being able to park, well that depends on the hotel valet.
