Take a look at last year's thread, it'll give you an idea of what to look forward to.

This was the most memorable part of my PAX last year. Was also my first PAX. Great conversation with a fun group, and this was the only thing I did that resulted in actual facebook friend additions. The game aspect added some variety to the night, and the pubs were excellent. Honestly, can't say enough good things about it. If you have a basic Lovecraft interest, and want to meet some genuinely great people, you should join!
I will be a fucking shill for this event until the day I die.
Updated the link.

....♦ 5pm Second Annual Pre-PAX Sky High Tabletop Play Benefiting Food Lifeline

......Ticket/Cost: $45+ (Buy Online, PRINT OUT TICKETS BEFORE ARRIVING!)

......There was a dress code last year, I'm assuming it will still be around this year as it was imposed by the building/club, not the organizers.
2015 PAX Prime Omeganaut (I will forever hate Katamari)
When Pax gets closer this thread stays pretty near the top so we have not pinned the last couple years. (Sorry it took so long to reply, I was on vacation for two weeks.)
Added! Thanks so much for the awesome formatting. Makes cut and paste super easy.
Is the listing really going to get that huge? I was expecting maybe half a dozen more parties at max, though this is my first PAX

It's usually half a dozen or so per night, you can find last years list here -
forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/177710/pax-prime-2013-parties/p1
also you tend to find a lot of the vendor parties aren't listed until just before PAX (or even they get announced AT pax) so the full-ish list doesn't really get there until a few days beforehand
Thanks, this is actually a big relief to me, so I can back off my microplanning

Nah. Micro-plan away just be a procrastinator about it and wait until the week before.
*Laughs* well the problem with that is that I have nothing else to do but plan and plan. Admittedly it has let me find some really good deals on stuff. I'm usually a procrastinator, but I'm just so excited for my first PAX

Like others have said, more parties will appear on this thread as more get announced.
Monday 9/1:
MC Frontalot, Dr. Awkward (more unannounced guests)
@ El Corazon- 109 Eastlake Ave. East Seattle, WA 98109
$8 advance, $10 at the door
Shows are generally all-ages, but the lounge half of the building is restricted to 21+
Actually I guess that's all I have info for. I know of another show that is being planned for Friday night and a couple of the acts that will be there but I can't say anything until it's officially announced so... I'll post again when I hear.
We accept all kinds of good times here.
Pick one per day/night that you absolutely must go to. It'll make your life infinitely easier. In general for parties, there's one major industry party per night, apart from other invite only parties. It's usually smaller venues that will overlap with each other for time.
This here's sage advice.
Overplanning in general is a recipe for PAX frustration.
BUT I MUST PLAN ALL THE THINGS

Wise words. The year Double Fine and CAH had their after parties at the same was the year we tried two in one night. It worked out ok going to CAH second because it wasn't size restricted. Not advised for most parties though.
Pink Party Prime
Sunday, Aug 31 / 9pm - Close
Neighbours Nightclub / 1509 Broadway
$15 Gen Adm / $30 VIP
It’s back and it’s bigger than ever! It’s the 6th Annual Pink Party, and it’s now Pink Party Prime! Bring your PAX party to our party, where you can explore drinks, game tables, dancing, and prizes. All of the hottest queer gaymers geeks and nerds will be there. If you only come out of your parent’s basement once a year, then this will be the place you’ll need to be.
Queer Geek's Pink Party Prime will feature actress and voice-over artist Jennifer Hale, smokin’ hot DJs Krot and Futurewife, along with gogo studs Bolt and Tyler Rush, and a $1,000 cosplay contest. There will also be a dedicated gaming space and a VIP lounge where you'll be able to mix and mingle with the amazing Jennifer Hale, along with a VIP drink specials and a VIP gaming space featuring playable demos of the hottest new games.
*PAX attendance not required for admission.

If I remember right from last year it's 21+ event right?
Yes, last year's Pink Party Prime was a 21+ event, due to alcohol being served.
In addition: Neighbours Nightclub is also a 21+ venue.
I wonder if Curse/Twitch are holding an invite only party again as opposed to general admission.
Also, I'm a little disappointed that Mad Catz skipped out on PAX East entirely. Hopefully they return for PAX Prime this year.
GLBTQ-friendly PAX party with Jennifer Hale as the special guest? That sounds like my PAX dream scenario. I'm so excited!
$10 ticket now comes with two game codes instead of one and still features an awesome stainless steel flask
$30 ticket now comes with four game codes and now a special Ink Whiskey flask and t-shirt
First game code announced is Children of Liberty by Lantana Games!
