Awesome! Thank you!
Reg should be open starting at 8AM on PAX days.
Cheers, my friend. Thanks for the information.
I had absolutely no problem bringing in outside food and water last year. Standard "backpack in crowded area" cautions apply (be careful turning, know you may get bumped, etc.)
I haven't seen or heard anything (I've tried really hard to find info), but maybe I've missed it. Thanks in advance!
They're not going to have a both or any official PAX presence due to the launch of GW2. They were going to throw a party celebrating the launch of GW2 on Saturday, but to date with only a couple.days before PAX there has been no news on this so at this point it's safe to assume endure"they're not even doing the party anymore either. So yeah at this point don't expect to see anything having to do with arenanet. They've had such a rocky headstart it's doubtful we'll even see them waking around downtown.
ironically they posted the details of the party to facebook at around the same time as your post

Haha that's funny. Might try and go then if I'm old enough. Anyone know is the ultra pink lunge is 21+ or 18+?
@Official_PAX on twitter said 3 special T-shirts this year!
ohhhh i thought that was just for the shirts and there was still a special item lol. thanks
There's some folks with that issue in this thread: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/164656/prime-passes-are-arriving
There has not as of yet been any official response. Keep hounding them. This isn't any sort of customer service forum, so all we can do is point you to the official channels.

PAX will always be held on the best weekend for PAX. Sometimes that will be a bad weekend for you; I'm sorry.

Thank You
Since it looks like they simply removed that question from the PAXSite FAQ, perhaps we should add that to the op since its a change in what was published earlier.
I think it was covered earlier in the thread, but there's nothing stopping you from bringing your laptop. Keep in mind, that it's a crowded convention with a lot of walking, so carrying it around may be cumbersome. Don't expect much for WiFi, free or paid, being crowded with thousands of people, many technical, the airwaves are a bit congested; that goes for cell type internet services as well.
Tablets should be fine as well, although the same Wireless network statements apply.
Feel free to try, just don't expect to depend on it.
Oh absolutely, I'm a devout follower of Wheaton's Law. Any line spot holding would be strictly for a food and drink run!
PAX is this week!! ::kermit flail::

Any ideas?
I agree when it comes to the agent. Unless you must have it on the plane for some reason, I would put it in your checked luggage. As for the face wash, it doesn't matter how much is gone it depends on the size of the container. I usually put all my shampoos/face wash basically anything that could leak into plastic bags so I don't have to worry about it getting over all my clothes.
Sorry for the slow response time, we have started our holiday all ready, so I have little access to a computer.
Hotel Booked: check!
Sitter for the kids: check!
Excitement level rising: check, check and triple check!
I would suggest sending a message to BigRed on the forums. I think he is the one running the BYOC (First time PAXer here so I may be wrong on that). Beyond that, keep doing what you are doing.

Thank you Zerzhul for the info and for directing me. I was able to get in touch with the tabletop enforcer team and they have kindly agreed to accept the games into the PAX library and offsite library at the Red Lion, and we've made arrangements for delivery.
BTW the game is "Barca-The Watering Hold Game". It's a two player strategy game with a really nifty game dynamic between the pieces that's like rock-paper-scissors. I hope you get a chance to try it some time (or you can try a computer version against AI at PlayBrca.com).
Thanks again!
Thank you very much! I'll be looking into that when I head down there tomorrow then!
One issue I've heard is 4-digit vs 6-digit PINs, where 6-digit doesn't work some places
I would email [email protected] again and bring your printed confirmation with you. If they dont get back to you then go to registration (on thursday if possible) and explain the situation to them.
Done and done. I'll print out all my confirmation stuff and bring it down with me too.
There are some banks that do strictly debit cards, but it would need to have a logo on it that is acceptable at most ATMs.
I will be arriving at the convention center at around 7:30 am to get to our hotel rooms and such.
Since I will have people arriving at various times before the convention center open, I will need to run around and give them all the hotel keys.
Is there a policy about holding a spot in line?
lets say 5 of my friends get in line at around 8, would it be a jerk move to go in and hop in line with them with 4 more at like 9:30?
My gut feeling is if it's just one person that's cool. Four? Maybe not so much. Plus, they really REALLY cram you in tightly in line. It's a little crazy.
Secondly- no, cutting in line is NOT ok. Aside from being rude, PAX is a lot better than most cons I've been to about counting people and cutting off the line when the room is full. If you and four of your friends jump in, you could very well bump 5 people who've been waiting longer than you (assuming it's a panel and not just the expo hall.)
What you could do, is get in line, let your friend's text you when they show up, then leave the line temporarily to get your friend their key. If you explain things to the people around you & the enforcers, you should be OK to come back- by yourself- in a couple minutes.
