Hi everyone! I met a number of fantastic UK/Europaxers while at East this year. I, along with a group of around 5-6 other PAXers (e.g. @Pascual, @kropotkin), live in London, and meet up regularly for drinks, games, and general fun!
I know there were a couple of you who wanted to join in, but may have lost my contact details. Any London/UK/Euro PAXers please drop a line in here and come join in!

A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
QFT. I'm also just jealous because you're all European. >.>

A Private Bobcat has been dispatched with contact details. Look for it at first light on the third day. Look to the east.

Thank goodness, because @Tango is just the WORST. I hear he has the least fashionable tailoring of any enforcer at PAX.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll send flowers...or maybe a macaroni and haggis pie? :P
By 'fantastic' I can only conclude that you're talking in code. What you actually mean is that he is quite evil and should not be trusted. Ever. Oh and he is one of the DM's in our UK PAX gaming group. Hence the evil references...
Only if it's fried!
Also, yay for another person living north of the border!
Mmm, I can practically taste the fear.
I'm so proud of you, Meles. *wipes tear from eye*

I've never heard of the two together...
Not.Helping.
heh as am I - well originally anyway I live in the West Midlands these days but ah well
first time PAX'er this year (normally my international holiday is reserved for Blizzcon but that ain't happening this year so thought I'd check this out)
What are you guys doing to get there?

That is a rather large price bump. O.o I'll have to keep tabs on the prices. I thought the increase I saw for my school holiday tickets went up just because it was summer.
also you have to remember we probably don't just have the 'normal' summer price increases this year - there is some sort of 'olympic games' or something going on - and we would be fools to believe that airlines haven't uppped all the transatlantic flight costs for july/august because of that *dons tinfoil hat*
tl;dr- Wait to shop flights until Tuesday/Wednesday for the best prices.

That sounds like an awesome deal. I live in Seattle, so flying out of Vancouver is totally doable. Buuuuuuuuuut, anytime in August and back in September is right during PAX
Well I am like @MarkWebster here and live up north in the bonnie ol' land of Scotland.
I was able to find flights from Glasgow without having to go through a London airport. I got a Glasgow to Seattle via Philadelphia which US Airways run over the summer which I got for £680 (they went down in price a little after but not by a lot). I'm just flying in on the Tuesday night so that I have Wednesday to (hopefully) meet up with people and get settled.
As I've said I am totally new to PAX so help and stuff would be greatly appreciated.

If you're about on a Sunday while in London, feel free to come and visit British PAX attendees at a pub near Liverpool St. Train Station
We might be on a Sunday. I'll PM you, thanks!
Yeah there's a lot more options if you can go from Glasgow over Edinburgh, we looked at it quite extensively. Edinburgh means you need to min. 2 stops with US Airways which was just too much hassle.
With Glasgow, you can also go 1-stop with United through either NY or Chicago, more frequently than Edinburgh -> NY -> Seattle which is just 1 a day.
And Canadian Affair (although they are now total cunts in my head after moving our outbound forward flight 6 hours, invalidating our entire travel plans and then sticking two fingers up, calling it a minor change and making us book new connecting travel) also travel direct to Vancouver from Glasgow, which isn't too far (but they are quite expensive).
Go drinking with PAXers would be my best tip!
oh and one of the reasons I go from the Midlands down to London is so I don't have to fly US Airways - after a trip to LA via Philli a couple of years back I have decided to never ever fly with them again (hope your experience is better than mine!) oh and if you are in Philli for a few hours as part of your changeover there are a few semi-decent bars
