Hotel Booked: check!
Sitter for the kids: check!
Excitement level rising: check, check and triple check!
I was lucky and was one of the people that broke the first vendor!!
Please read the OP, there's submission instructions there.
First time to PAX! My awesome pre-birthday trip!
Just so people don't miss it, you need to submit via the above.
Also I just realized, I forgot to add a little description of my home! I'm from St. Louis, MO (Cardinal's nation, which will be in full tilt during PAX, so if I'm frantically checking my phone for scores you know why! I actually have game tickets the day after I get back.)
We're a big small town as they say with major sports teams in 3 of the 4 categories (Football, Hockey and MLB. No basketball. We had an indoor soccer team, but honestly, I don't know if we still do.)
Additionally I'm within striking distance of the oldest wine appelation region in the US (August, MO) and try to make a yearly trip out that way (missed last year.)

Pfft... Cardinals? Too bad for you. I can count on the White Sox being eliminated from post-season contention by September, so I can enjoy PAX without distractions. Now THAT'S a considerate team.

Sorry you're not going to be able to make it, but let's not turn this into a registration complaint thread, eh?
Edinburgh is one of the most cultural, cosmopolitan and beautiful cities in the world. Is a lovely place to live. =]
I'd add a description of my home (STL), but this pretty much sums it up. Cardinal nation and beer- we've got it made!
Also, this made me laugh. Love it.
Eehhhhh, Whaaa? More St. Louisians? I'm Shocked! No, Awed! No, Intrigued! There are only one of us on the map right now.
You're right, I mentioned the wine, but I forgot the Beer. We were nation's brewing capital until AB (spit!) sold out. Thanks to a complicated set of laws designed to Keep AB in power in this town (Read Tom Schlafy's Memoir "A new religion in Mecca" to understand it directly) microbrewing got off to a slow start here. However, Tom Schlafly (Former owner of the St. Louis Brewery DBA Schlafly beer) is also a lawyer and from a very influential family got the laws changed all up in the State Hizzouse! meaning Microbrewing is currently in EXPLOSION! here. (like it was many places 3-4 or more years ago.) I personally know at least 2-3 brewmasters at various small brew/pubs.

I'm from Palmdale, California. It's a couple hours north of L.A. in the Mojave Desert. I have yet to figure out all the details necessary for this trip, so I will be constantly reading up as much as I can on these forums to make sure that I don't miss anything.
The Lake District is about the only nice part of England though. =P
Well it's the capital city of the province of Alberta. We are the northern-most major metropolitan centre in North America, with a population of over 1,000,000 in the capital region. The city is known as "The Gateway to the North" due to the amount of traffic coming through here on the way to the oil-sands, and as "The Festival City" due to the wall to wall amount of festivals we have during the 6 months the city isn't a frigid wasteland. We have the second largest Fringe Festival in the world, the first being in Edinburgh. This is a performing arts festival where you can see artists from a number of different genres and disciplines. We are also the home to the largest shopping mall in North America. It used to be in the world, but then China and Dubai got rich. We won't talk about the mall though, cause it's a bloody tourist trap that no one admits to going to.
I never finish anyth
Well we're the largest City in New Zealand. The Hobbits are mostly all on the South Island. We're surrounded by (mostly) dormant volcanoes. Public Transportation is awesome (compared to the States), Medical stuff is great (see previous note) and the choices of asian food are through the rood and almost always amazing.
Oh and Meat Pies with Watties Tomato sauce. Also, Pavlova is a Kiwi invented dessert, not Aussie (am I doing this right?)!

This is going to be awesome!

If you’re winning, play safe and keep the game clean and simple. If you are losing, take risks and complicate the game.
Let's hope QPR do the reds a big favor!
There's a few Anchorage folk I know of that make the trip to PAX. I can't chime in on travel plans because ours are a bit crazy this year (we'll be on vacation in California and then flying to Seattle for PAX), but we are out there.
Yes it does!! We dont want other people to think BC only has 1 city do we?? Im from Coquitlam, You??
I'm actually a DFW resident, but I live overseas with my parents while my dad works over here :P We do have a house in Grand Prairie though, and that's ACTUALLY where i'll be coming in from
My ladyfriend and I are also coming from Utah xD
Currently: Richmond. Soon-to-be: Langley.
You're lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us, living in a shoebox in the middle of the road!
(It was a cardboard box. We were lucky.)
Lucky for him I got our tickets in The Great Crash of 2012.
And (hopefully) my first year I can take Friday off! YES!
LOVE the MP reference!!
