[Pre-Pax] The Third Annual (Except for that one year) Pre-PAX Breakfast!

Knoland

Edit: Something has come up and I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to Boston on Wednesday as previously planned. If someone else is interested in taking the reigns on this, shoot me a PM (it's really not hard, just call Friendly Toast, let them know we'll be there, and get people together as they come in the door).

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Changed around some plans and I will now be able to make it. Just called friendly toast to let them know we'll be there!


We are happy to announce that we are now the official first stop of the Thursday MMT! Welcome MMT friends.

Welcome to the official thread of the third annual Pre-PAX breakfast!

Please feel free to join us! Posting here to let us know you'll be there is preferred but is by no means required.

When: 8:00am Thursday April 10th, 2014
Where: Friendly Toast in Cambridge.
Why: Because Breakfast is delicious.

Old OP:

Spoiler

Now that most of the attendees have their PAX badges, it's time to start gauging interest and get plans in motion.

For those not in the know, the pre-PAX breakfast is... well it's a breakfast before PAX (shocking right?). Whether you're in town early from a red eye flight the night before, enforcing, or a bum looking for some socialization, the pre-pax breakfast gives you an opportunity to hang out with your fellow paxers before the convention begins.

When: 8:00am Thursday April 10th, 2014
Where: Last year was at Friendly Toast in Cambridge. If you know of anyone else that can house us speak up!
Why: Because Breakfast is delicious.

If you are interested post bellow. Or if you have any suggestions on how to improve from last year let me know.


Note: We try to arrange this so that people are still able to attend Punzie's MMT, but I can't promise you won't get distracted and be late.

aBByNormaL

guess you should start looking at wednesday flights

aBByNormaL

ohhh you're funny .... I should see if Seaport has a Wed available to add to my ressie (darn it it does)... it's only money after all ... lol

Knoland

I would be open to moving it later, but I don't want to make it too late and interfere with enforcer duties or the MMT.

zombocom

we're thinking we'll be joining up with the train alliance this year, first pax, and our first night at the hotel is thursday. no idea what the schedule for that is usually like, but if we're in boston by thursday morning, count us in

Depending on where you're coming from I think most trains arrive Thursday night (the Metal Gear Line arrives at 9pm and last year was Thursday so I assume will be the same this year). Not sure on the other trains, but I don't think most people go until Thursday.

*edited for crappy wording*

Account4This

I live in Boston, so it'd depend if I can get Thursday off work, but this sounds like an awesome idea (only my 2nd PAX, so still learning about all the attached community awesomeness)

VGVideoGalaxy

Wish I could go to this, but because of college I have to be in late Thursday night and out early Monday morning.

Kythos

I loved that place! Definitely wouldn't mind going there again.

aBByNormaL

Do not alter it on my account, if time allows once we are settled I will try but otherwise we will be at pre pax dinner

The_Doctor1

I am going to be in on Wednesday and do enjoy some breakfast. Count me in!

Malgaras

As an enforcer AND a bum, I'm doubly interested.

scottyb1218

100% interested. OM NOM NOM

Temig

I'm currently planning on getting in to town early to do Enforcer-esque duties, so I may very well join up for this. Most important meal of the day and whatnot.

cardkid123

Depending on when I get in I may be interested

Khaytor

I had a great time last year! Count me in!

fullofgrace

I missed this last year and if we're there earlier enough, I'd love to join. Making sure to have a good breakfast every day gave me a good supercharge to get the most out of PAX.

Last year we started around 8:30 and left around 10, but your more than welcome to duck out early (though we'll be sad).

fullofgrace

Re-reading again I'm realizing that we *can* still make Punzie's MMT. I apparently need yet another cup of coffee. We're a tentative yes.

Ricin

I would be interested in going. Is there a cut off time to commit to register or reserve for this?

bandersnee

I'm totally up for meeting up at the Friendly Toast again. I love that place. I'll be there.

Nope, just show up if you're interested!

Halfazedninja

Put me down with a plus 1 possibly

Knoland

Hey breakfast people. Something has come up and I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to Boston on Wednesday as previously planned. If someone else is interested in taking the reigns on this, shoot me a PM (it's really not hard, just call Friendly Toast, let them know we'll be there, and get people together as they come in the door).

Khaytor

If no one can do it, let me know and I'll make the calls.

punzie

I might show up. Who needs that extra sleep, right?

Khaytor

@Punzie, Sleep is for the weak . Plus, there's coffee.

sobe253

I would like to join also if this is still going on. I arrive into Boston at 6:20 am Thursday morning and this would be perfect to do once I get off the plane

punzie

So I'm thinking of just starting the MMT here Thursday morning. We won't have to leave until 10 for our first stop so this can be a pretty leisurely and social breakfast (as long as Friendly Toast is ok with us being there that long).

Khaytor

They should be fine. I'll call them when I wake up tomorrow to give them a head's up. We're thinking about 40 people?
10 PPB + 30 from the MMT?

I'd say 40 will more than cover it. I usually have 25-30 ish Thursday morning and there's some crossover between who was already doing ppb and who was doing MMT.

GhostDan

I will most likely be with the MMT tour

TeganJ

I like starting the MMT on Thursday here. My husband and I will be there.

Khaytor

I gave them a heads-up for 40. I'll call Monday morning just to verify the manager got the message.

Khaytor

Talked to a manager today, he seemed a little surprised at 40. I think they think it's a joke or something. Oh well, I gave them a head's up!

HydrophobicFish

I won't be able to attend this, but I just want to say: the food there is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

So, going to this, you won't be disappointed.

brokenvegetable

I am going to be there with khytor .... so I am an auto count.... but I dont seem to be on the amazing people list
