Who is going to PAX-EAST???

MetaverseNomadMetaverseNomad Registered User regular
edited February 2010 in PAX Archive
I know, I know. "Shut the hell up, Nomad, it's been a damn day since PAX. I don't want to think about this now. I'm sick and cranky". At least you can have something else to talk about while you're home sick with the PAX Plague! Or the swine flu.... D:

Who will be traversing the wild lands in reverse-Oregon Trail style over to the classy East Coast?

I think ashridah and I need to do a final count of vacation time and resources, but I think it's likely that we will make the great winter migration.

Who else will be heading to Boston???

Tell us where you're coming from too, so we can get the epic travel ball rolling!

    By no means is it too early to talk about this. Having just gotten home from my PAX trip last night, I am already counting down the days. Seeing as I live in MA and PAX East is just a commuter rail ride away rather than a cross-country plane trip away there is no way I will miss this!

    I'm going. I've never been to Boston-- never been anywhere in the Northeastern U.S., in fact-- and it's a shame I can only afford to go for the days of PAX, since Boston seems like the kind of place where I could easily spend an extra week or so.

    Someone once told me that gaming tastes change depending on what part of the country you visit. I wonder if that's true about Boston? It makes me curious about how PAX East will differ from its bigger West Coast brother.

    I'd love to go, I haven't been to the east coast before! I also have a friend who just started school at NYU and would love to figure out how to do both PAX East and visit NYC (maybe get her to PAX too since she's never home in Seattle for PAX prime).

    Is it fairly easy to get between the two cities? And reasonable cost? I know there's lots of rail/bus options out on the east cost but wouldn't even kind of know where to begin. I have lots of airline miles so the flight costs won't be a problem, but I'm just wondering is it remotely feasible to try and do both at once?

    I am most definitely going, considering I'm an hour outside.

    I swear though, any of you west coast bastards make it impossible to manuver, I will finally know if there are worse drivers than Southie drivers.
    No hard feelings!

    Given the closer proximity to the homeland, I think I can swing this much more easily than Prime next year.

    The question is really if I can convince of my friends of that as well. Might as well begin working on that now!

    I ordered the badges (one for me and one for the old lady) last night. She became increasingly bitter as my pictures became even more awesome every night I uploaded them to facebook.

    edit: I am going to do buttoneering as well. Maybe my avatar. It was funny explaining it to Blaine (I'm sorry, I don't know your forum handle) because it was so obscure and I could tell by his reaction. wtf game is that?!

    You lucky bastard.

    I thought about going home to Gettysburg for a bit, then heading up from there, but I don't think I'll have enough vacation time for that, so I'll probably be flying out with the rest of what I imagine will be a MASSIVE group of Seattleites/West Coast people.

    Definitely going. I'm from Alaska, but will be flying into DC for the week leading up to PAX East and hanging out with some gamer friends then we will caravan up! : ) I've hit PAX 08 and 09, wanted to be part of a first so I decided to hit up the east coast one even though I'm pretty far from the east coast...
