Inspiration Gleaned from PAX East 2011

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I found my first PAX to be downright inspirational.
Meeting Mike, Jerry, Scott, and Kris inspired me to spend more time on comics, instead of letting them fall to the wayside because of my career.
Meeting Day[9] inspired me to become a better SC2 player and better person in general (Probably the single nicest individual I've ever met)
Meeting Robert Khoo inspired me to work harder at everything I do. Especially within my career, I'm constantly searching for good role models for dedication and passion, and Robert is one of the best.
And possibly the most important thing I took away from my first PAX is the sense that I'm not currently in the right field. I suppose people are right when they say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. PAX has shown me that no matter what you're paid, it's more important to do what you love. As a result, I think I'll most likely be taking a digital marketing strategy job I've been offered, and shifting out of financial advisory.
A thousand thanks to Penny Arcade for making this happen year in and year out. It may have been my first PAX, but it won't be my last. Not by a long, long shot.
