What would make your trip awesome?

My question for you is; What would be something(s), big or small, that you would love to do/see/experience during your PAX trip to make it as awesome as possible?

Some of mine are:

- Find and consume Vanilla Coke (It seems lame but I can't get in where I live)
- Find and consume BBQ flavored Chex Mix (Also not available in my area)
- Have Blizzard attend and set up Diablo 3 demo stations.
- High five everyone at The Behemoth booth and tell them how Castle Crashers is through and through amazing.
- Meet people that live in the same province/city as me that even though we live close together, we would have never met otherwise
- Buy at least one extremely awesome "thing" to keep as a souvenir of PAX. (ie. something more than a t-shirt)

How about everyone else?

    i agree with the vanilla coke thing. there was a happy year where we got it here in the uk, but then it disappeared from shelves. i loved that stuff.

    as for happy, i'd love to talk to fans and bands about geeky music. already had a polite no from frontalot, but i can email interview him, which is cool.

    I'm studying nerdcore and probably chiptune, and trying to wedge JoCo every other music act in there somehow too for my Masters dissertation.

    - Getting to play Warmachine with some non-locals.

    - Seeing Behemoth's Game 3 in action.

    - Not wrapping my car around a post on the way there/home.

    You could argue I have low standards.

    I'm looking at PAX as a half-leisure, half-business trip. While I love just going, seeing the demos, and meeting some awesome people, at the same time I am hoping to give my upcoming site a needed boost with the PR departments at game companies. So an awesome trip to me would be one where I return home with pledges of review titles of at least a dozen games.

    It would also be awesome if I could convince my father to stick around and watch the JoCo concert as well because I love him ;)

    I'd love to get an awesome souvenir, like the PIP boy hand puppets from PAX08.
    Getting invited to one of the private parties would great.

    I'd be happy though if I'm one of the zombies singing along with JoCo to Re: Your Brains.

    Need to get some expressionless pictures with Mike and Jerry, and a picture full of nerd glee with Wil Wheaton.

    Just being at PAX is awesome though.

    What would make my trip awesome:

    1) Play in BYOC (already paid and registered)
    2) Get to goto PAX (already have 3 day pass)
    3) Get to hang out with friends, both old a new (flying up with my buddy and am sure I'll meet lots of people)
    4) See the Sam Adam's Brewery (we already have the visit scheduled for Thursday morning when we fly in)

    This trip IS going to be awesome!

    Canadian smarties are chocolate with a candy shell. Very yummy stuff. Canadian ketchup is also good.

    American Smarties are essentially rolls of candies about the size of an aspirin that are just slight tart sugar. No delicious chocolate at all. Between the beer, sweeter ketchup, smarties and aero bars I never wanted to leave toronto when I went there for work awhile back.

    The fact I drank and watch strippers on another companys dime had nothing to do with it either :)

    I know what Canadian smarties are, but they're not just Canadian. :P They are available elsewhere.

    If Cadbury Crumble is anything like Violet Crumble, I am SO IN. I still have a bag of Crumble from last PAX that I'm slowly savoring until I get more.
