    Washington state law is very strict with alcohol, so even if the organizers of the party say it's okay, I'd make sure they talked to the venue about a mixed aged event with alcohol.
    Like the above poster said, sometimes the venues are stricter than the organizers want to be, so show up early and talk to the door person to make sure you can get in before waiting in line.

    If you want to experience strict alcohol laws, come to pax east.

    They aren't supposed to serve people with out of state drivers licenses.

    O_O No out of state driver's licenses? And I thought my state's alcohol laws were overkill...

    Is that new? When we were there in 2012 my husband and I didn't have any issues with our out of state licences anywhere we went.

    No, it's not new. Most bars honor them, but they are not required to. Anyhow, that's pretty off topic for the prime thread ;)

    Sorry, just kind of popped up for me :p

    Here's the most logical explanation of the situation. It all comes down to liability.

    Did MadCatz have a party last year? Was it good? I'm not sure if I want to go, but it would be something to do on Thursday night

    Mad Catz has done an Unveiled party at PAX East and SDCC this year. It's a great way to meet and interact with Fighting Game Community, and there's always cool prizes and loot.

    Personally, I love fighting games and the community that represents it, so it's always a fun time to chill out and play some games.

    Not mention, it was originally $50 last year for PAX East (I think), so at $20, it's a much better price point. If you have nothing else to do, it's definitely worth your while.

    Door prizes? Or prizes from some sort of small tourney there? I'm not fighting game fan, but I have watched EVO couple of years thanks to the SO that loves it.

    Here's the Post-Pax Pint Throwdown.

    Join nine Pacific Northwest breweries on Monday, September 2, 2013 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Pine Box Bar to taste some specialty brews to benefit local non-profit Child’s Play Charity. This one is definitely 21+ and has $35 tickets. The winning beer of the night will be served at the Child's Play charity auction in december.

  • Jonny09Jonny09 Registered User regular
    Anyone know if the Mad Catz party from PAX East was open bar? Or is it just a $20 cover charge in the night club?

    This is my first PAX Prime; is it just me or does PAX Prime have a lot more parties going on than East?

    I would speculate that it is because the Prime venue is literally right in the middle of Downtown Seattle, instead of being a bit away from things like the venue at East is.

    Yeah, easier for both attendees and devs to walk like 1-10 blocks then back to hotel after I would think. Granted I've no idea on the actual count.

    It may just seem that way. If you check out the list from East it usually ends up being just about the same number.

    East might fit more people, but Prime fits more booze in more people.

    Here's the difference: Every party here so far has been within 15 minutes of walking distance.

    You have to walk 15 minutes to get absolutely anywhere from the back bay section of Boston, usually it's more like a 45 minute walk or requires a car.

    And in freakin' cold weather too. That just about did us in last year and we're from Michigan!

    I swear to god, there are way too many events happening that I want to go to, but the TWDT has to take preference...

    My liver is going to be fried by the time I go home.

    I could be wrong, but I believe it's the Tri-Wizard's Drinking Tournament. At least that's what I've been assume that is as I don't know what else it could be lol

    Boo, it's at the Taphouse which I refuse to go to. Any bar that eliminates Happy Hour just because a convention is in town doesn't need my business.
