Who is going to PAX-EAST???

MetaverseNomad

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....

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!

Night Skies

I'm going! It will be my first PAX, heading up from Charlotte.

PeasantDave

I know I will be going. It will be much easier to get to from Jersey!

proXimity

Fuck yes, thanks to a generous donation by Intel

Emissary42

I'm strongly considering going, since it's at such a good time of year (my classes start in mid-August); it's during my spring break, in fact .

Ebfan

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!

GoingIncognito

Moi

SirCuddlez

I'm so being there. It's in my city I better be!

Nijhazer

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.

trickycoolj

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?

Krieger

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!

revengeofmike

Anyone going from Seattle?

HallowedFaith

The Army never lets me do SHIT, so this will be yet another PAX I miss out on.

1up

My girlfriend and I will be driving up from Jersey. Will be our first PAX, can't wait!

Winyder

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!

PunkJr

I'm hoping to go!! I have to figure out funding, since I'm also planning a few other trips next year, but yeah... I really WANT to go!

Drakmathus

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.

Probably no one. Seattle hates PAX.

Redwingedblackbird

I'll be in Qatar from November until thru February... But I shoudl be back in plenty of time to go to PAX East...

The_Spaniard

Put me down as a maybe.

Hollenheim

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...

HotSake

Had my pass for a while now.

Atlus Parker

I wonder if Gabe & Tycho are going to E-PAX.

Waterborn

I will definitely be there and am working on some Pre-PAX_EC event for the week leading up to the big weekend, so stay tuned.

Shade

I want to go but not sure I'll be able to, and if I am able to if I can afford it.

Jared A. Sorensen

NYC will represent.

parabola

I am now officially going to PAXE

ScubaKev

Hotel booked, registered. I'll be there.

Anphrax

Are there any cross-country plans? I live near Seattle/Tacoma and would love to go. If anyone has a busy we could use...

MarsChelios

I'm in.

Zionad

where do you sign up for pax east and where are the details?

Gravy Robber

Will almost certainly go to PAX-E by way of automobile. Got family up that ways as well.

DeathPrawn

March can't come quickly enough!

Also, who's working on organizing the pre-pax dinner/magical mystery tour/etc? As a Bostonian I'd love to get involved with all that bizness.

I'm in the same boat, looks like the trip would easily be $600+

I'm going... I should be back from deployment a couple week before.

xibalba

I dunno but i want to go, i live in VA and do have some family up in Mass. I already have withdraws from this past weekend, so maybe.

Kwisatz Haderach

PAX East happens to fall right on my birthday (March 26th), so how could I NOT go? Hotel-scouting powers, ACTIVATE!

Taranis

I'll be down. When is it going to be?

Royale Wih Cheese

The Navy lets go of its death grip on my soul relatively soon, so I'm totally there . . . might even extend the period of blissful unemployment to include the PAX-E timeframe :-)

HATE

I got back from PAX09 yesterday, and today spent the day making plans and booking flights for PAXE...so Minneapolis will be representing in Boston!
