Where are you from? It's time for the PAX Map!
So due to a variety of no longer relevant reasons, I didn't do this for PAX Aus or PAX Prime 2013.
With no further ado... IT'S TIME FOR PAX EAST!
As @Moe Fwacky and I have done in the past, I have set up a map for us to put our points on and discuss where we are from.
Map! http://www.maptive.com/ver3/paxeast2014
For checking in your area: If people are in the same place very close to one another they sometimes get put on top of one another. Click on your own placemark and see if there is a "1 of X" with an arrow in the bottom right corner of the popup. This means there is more than one placemark on top of each other in that spot. Click the arrow to cycle through them to find people REALLY close to you!
Submissions closed!
To get a placemark added to the map
0) Check the map to make sure you aren't already on there! Many people submit early and then forget about it.. then they submit again closer to the show
1) GO HERE: http://www.latlong.net/ and get the decimal latitude and longitude of where you want your marker to go. You do this by dragging the map around and clicking to move the marker.
Note: There are other places to get your lat/long, this one is just super easy and straightforward.
2) Copy the decimal Lat/Long somewhere, or write it down. Make sure you include any minus signs that may be present... this matters A LOT.
3) please submit this handy dandy google form. I'll be compiling the submissions about once per week into the map itself.

Also, updated!
Now have 30 pins on the map.
The current furthest person is @PurpleBek at 3,152.34 miles away.
It's a train from Chicago to Boston, via Buffalo and Albany.
Pfft, driving is always an option! It's only 2400 clicks from St. Johns to boston, you could do that in 2 days and there'd be some beautiful scenery between the two points.
I'd say its 28 hours of driving, but no one drives the speed limit on the transcanada :P *
*seriously, just fly, spending 4 days in a car on your vacation sucks in multiple ways and you're likely not saving on fuel unless you're driving a hybrid.
the length of drive is probably in the neighborhood, but the kicker is waiting for and using the ferries ... from St. John's you have two options Port aux Basques (8 hr drive + 6 hr ferry), or Argentia (1.5hr drive, 13 hr ferry) either way it is like 2 days just to get off the island. And Argentia is seasonal so it would not yet be running in April.
Looking for DLC Kickstarter Limited... will do multiple trades for it!

Maps would disagree with you.
As well as anyone from Toronto.
Ahhhh poor tormented souls ..... Delusional to a fault
Of course Torontonians would think the world revolves around them
Of course Vancouverites would disagree and opine that it lies west of centre
When it everyone knows that the centre of the universe and god's country is the Rock!
Sillies........
FYI: Submission of the form does not immediately show up on the map, I update it manually. Mentioning this because one person submitted twice, 5 hours apart.
I'm haling from somewhere south of Montreal (moved recently). We are heading down to PAX for the ultimate guy trip. Two other buddies from work are joining in, one of which barely ever left the province. We have three things to do on our mission - PAX, Cheers and find the best place for a dirty Cheeseburger.
Prime: '10, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15
West: '16, '17
East: '14, '15, '16, '17
South: '15, '16, '17, '18
The spread for attendees is pretty interesting. Looks like there is a pretty big local draw.
PAX Prime 2014 Preparations Complete
I used to live in Colorado (I was born there), there was not much gaming groups around from what I remember either. It is a beautiful state though!
I will be dragging my roommates and a couple friends along this time, whereas last year I went solo. I had too much fun last year to pass it up this time!
Anyone else from Pittsburgh?
It'll be my second PAX East and second overall. It'd be nice to go to Prime one day (or even Aus if I'm dreaming) but while I was in Boston last March I knew that it was likely I'd be making the annual spring pilgrimage there for the foreseeable future. I had a blast last year and now that I have some experience, I'm hoping that 2014 is even better!
Currently the Furthest Person From PAX: @Smeg77 at 3,279.76 miles away.
