Oh hey, speaking of keeping in contact with people at PAX, I set up a GroupMe, since that seemed to work really well last year.

https://groupme.com/join_group/5077204/WQufWi

For those of you who don't know about it, it's basically a group texting app thingy. You can use it as just SMS if you have a dumbphone without apps and such. You can also access the messages from the website.

So...

I made two reservations for dining.

A table for 8 on Friday at 5:30 p.m. at Purple Cafe

A table for 6 on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Rock Bottom

I am also planning on trying to bring people to Club Noc Noc on Saturday night for some 80s dance club action.

These are the things I am setting up.

    Didn't these just go on sale? How are the 4-day passes already sold out? This is like LCD Soundsystem's final show all over again...

    I'm guessing they've got staggered batches of the four-day passes and they'll release more in time

    4-days are actually sold out. No joke. Any coming back are just people whose carts are timing out.

    They were first "sold out" on the reg page within 10 minutes. Then the waffling back and forth as carts timed out.

    4 day passes sold out in like 10 minutes? That's fucking balls, this show is getting out of hand. Time to move back home before PAX Australia gets this crazy.

    Oh well, I guess I'll just sit in this queue and see what's available to me, I suppose I don't need all 4 days considering most of my time is spent outside the convention anyway.

    it doesn't affect me, but surely there's a better system than "only people online & paying attention during a random midweek, midday half hour get all the full passes"

    Been sitting in this queue since the link went up, yeesh. I'm not sure how I feel about buying for separate passes, I guess I'll see if I ever get through this queue!

    And man, if 4 days are already gone I wonder if there is much good housing left either.

    You can still buy four single-day passes. Honestly, if you cannot afford the extra $25 for those, then you probably shouldn't be going to PAX.

  • World as MythWorld as Myth a breezy way to annoy serious people Registered User regular
    from a friend on twitter: If hotels in Seattle are full for PAX before you can get a room, the Silver Cloud on Broadway (.8 mile) has decent rates

    kQwcZLJ.png
  • NeoTomaNeoToma Registered User regular
    Aww well. Thursday-Monday is a lot of time off work, so just getting a Friday and Saturday is cool.
    If I change my mind I'm sure I could always figure a way to find* a Sunday pass.

    Stuck in the queue, too, for 20 mins now... And you probably don't have to worry about housing, scalpers don't go in on hotel rooms. :D

    oh, is that all the cost difference is? No big then, I'll just do that.

    This really sucks. I bought tickets in 2008 and they never showed up. This is the first year I've been able to go since and now it's worse than SD Comic Con... /bitterness
