Eastern Canadian PAXers Thread

We seem to have an awfully small gathering from what I can see in terms of attendees going to PAX this year. Am I flying solo? Is anyone at least meeting me at Chicago on flight AA 415 on Thursday at 11:45am?
Mods - I know there are airport meetup threads, this isn't for that. This is more of a discussion on Canadians NOT from Vancouver travelling to PAX this year.

Fair enough. I wanted to highlight this airport since its the major hub for eastern Canadian flights and thus the most likely people to be flying out of that airport. Even if you start in somewhere like Montreal, most flights will still stop in Toronto.
Point taken.
Back to the discussion, anyone from Eastern Canada going to PAX? lol
I'm flying out of Winnipeg on the 23rd, since I wanna be all vacationy and stuff.
Sounds like the same flight for sure. With AA? Likely only 1 AA leaving around that time going to those airports.
Go Jets Go!
I'm from Winnipeg, but I'm going to end up with the Vancouver crew for travel as I'm flying there on Tuesday and taking the train down on Thursday. Meeting up with a buddy from Australia there.

Oh and just an FYI, don't know if you're interested but it appears as of this morning the Protomen have officially booked a show in Winnipeg for Spetember 1st. I'm pretty pumped about that!
I never finish anyth
United Airlines 278 is my flight out on Monday. If it's the same flight I'm sure we can work some voodoo magic and get seats beside each other. I remember getting another PAXer on my flight out of Boston and it was amazing just talking about the weekend with a total stranger. Seriously made the flight feel like nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all.
Canadian meet up at PAX Prime? Yes please! We're going to make this happen people.
KillerMcDead - We definitely went the Grand Forks route last time, but this year we found cheaper tickets straight from the Winnipeg airport so we won't have to drive to Grand Forks at 4 in the morning and run into a coyote that messes up mi amigo's car! (All true facts)
I'd definitely be up for a non-Vancouver Canadian meet-up!
I think it was two years ago that we had another Canadian crash our room (it's Americans and myself, typically) and we had a party. He wasn't nearly as much of a drinker as we like to let the Americans believe we are though. I had to do double duty to make up for it. :^:
I am tempted to bring my timmies mug with me and walk the floor with it. But yes, in terms of free time, I really don't see me having ANY this time around. Since I work in the industry I have party after party to go to on top of the panels all day long and such. Either way, I will certainly be wearing some sort of Canadian gear while there, be it a shirt or hat or something lol.
Seems like I hopped on the forums way too late for all these drinking parties, but for reals, let's get a Can meetup, potentially on Sunday. I am in and so is my travelling band. Anywhere anyone can suggest? There was a pretty cool bar my friends and I kind of snuck into with the Giant Bomb guys last year. Got to meet Jeff Green, Patrick Klepek and the whole GB crew, not to mention plenty of fellow "Oh man, how did we get in here?!" attendees. No idea where it was though, as we were led there at around midnight. It was underground? I think?
My wife and I are driving out of Winnipeg to Fargo, and flying out. Good to see other Winnipegers! I tried to find people on Twitter in Winnipeg going, but no dice.
Forgot about the forums mostly. We're flying in Thursday morning - driving down to Fargo weds night and flying out from there. This is our first PAX too, so we're kind of excited heh.
I'm cheating a bit, but on Sunday from 11:30-1:30 Gabe and Tycho will be signing stuff in the queue room. I've got a thing or two I'd like signed, and I'll take any excuse to have me there early. Can people do 11am on Sunday in front of the queue room?
Side note: On Friday AND Saturday night starting around 11pm-12am, a bunch of people from a site called Noobtoob will be hitting up the Elephant & Castle Bar which is right under the Red Lion Hotel. If you're looking for a place to drink and relax after the show, I wholeheartedly recommend chilling with us. Good group of people. I can't remember if you have to be 21+ though.
We should organize something.
I never finish anyth
It'd be cool to touch base with some more people who know what PAX is (anyone else whose family/coworkers are like, huh?). Maybe we can organize something?
I might be pretty busy filming with the Unofficial Pax Community DVD while at PAX, so this would work out awesome. Hell, tickets are $10, I'll buy for anyone who says they can't make it!
Is anybody going to the Post-Pax party or the Protomen show on friday night at El Corazons?
