The days of PAX are nailed down (ie 8/24-26 if you do not know how to scroll down in forums [edit] or use wikipedia [/edit]). But what TIME on those days will PAX be running?

    probably similar to this year. what was it, 5pm-1am friday, 9am-1am saturday, and 9am-5pm sunday? i wish they'd give us more time on friday and sunday, though. like same schedule for all 3 days.

    You realize how crappy that would be for enforcers? :P

    if we did the same time all 3 days then we would need 2 full days to setup and 1 full day to teardown.

    Right now most of the setup is done on the thursday before pax and some before pax opens on friday.

    Most of teardown is done just after pax closes on sunday and a little general finishing things on monday.

    oh, i'm sorry, i didn't realize that pax was about catering to what would please the enforcers. here, i thought it was about the gamers.

    ...wow

    You ovbiously missed the point of my post. Remember this is a volunteer staff, that would extend the amount of time for us to volunteer from 5 days to 7.

    Sorry but not many are going to be doing that one. MIssing that much work/pay isnt an option.

    The hours will most likely be the same as they have been.

    Yeah, I think so, too. The scary part is that you really can't tell.
