    The thread is dead more because no one comes to the forums much, as opposed to no one paying attention to this thread in particular.

    Yeah I think many of us just started using facebook or text messaging to communicate. Anyways I am definitely in for some night market action. And I am most certainly in for some DOUBLE night market action.

    And I ABSOLUTELY cannot say no to anything happening on Vulcan way.

    So yeah, I'm in.

    Hello!

    I am new here, i am going to PAX for the first time this year it's nice to see there are a good number of people from the GVRD around. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

    Not sure if this qualifies as an event? If not apologies; however, there is a new start up in the Vancouver area called the exp restaurant/bar in Vancouver. The local pax community seems to love crowd fund sourcing, thought I would post this here. http://www.indiegogo.com/expbar

    In short it is a local video game centric restaurant to just chill in with your peers. The reason I posted it here is, if this place is successful it could lead to future events here in Vancouver for pax forum goers to attend.

    I think the supertrip sort of turned into the West Coast Train trip (Vancouver to Seattle edition)

    So I am not actually in Vancouver, actually down in Seattle, but did y'all know that Tenacious D is doing a convert at PNE with The Protomen as openers? It's next weekend on a Sunday, which is dumb, should be Saturday. I have never been to PNE but hopefully it will be sufficient location for containing The D and Protomen in one night.

    If anyone is already planning to or is now intrigue, let me know. The fiance and I are going and will probably stay at a nearby hotel Sunday night.

    Same here. The D is just bonus. @TOGSolid and I are coming down from AK. Will get there on Sat. I've never been to Vancouver, was wondering if anyone could recommend a good watering hole near by PNE?

    The Press Box is right across the street from the PNE. Not a big fan of The Protomen or Tenacious D, but definitely willing to meet up for a couple of beers. =)

    So Press Box Saturday night?

    Press Box Saturday night sounds like a plan. We are staying with some friends that live over by the University, but we can head over there Saturday night.

    What about Sunday night at the concert? Should some pre-gaming be had prior to the start? How are beer/food prices at this place, $8 a beer or more?

    Sunday is wide open for pre-concert shenanigans. I originally was just gonna sit around and play vidja all day but if someone has a better idea I'm down.

    Chang of plans. Jenny Spaghetti's got a b-day party at 6 for husband that @Saldek and I are going to first. When that gets done I'm down for drinks!

    Okay so from what I understand, interested PAXers will be meeting at PressBox at sometime on Saturday evening? What time and who's going to be there? (This is why we need an up-to-date OP. :S)

    And there is interest in doing something gaming-related on Sunday afternoon? I believe a good amount of Vancouver PAXers were planning on going to that concert (unfortunately for myself, I doubt I can afford it) and will most likely be doing something beforehand. If I find out that something is, indeed, going on, I will be sure to post about it. Or, if someone here makes a plan, I can communicate it to absentee forum members.
