    Sweet! My plane should get in soon enough and I will join a house and venture forth!

    One question dont know if this was covered in the OP my wife might come along to as well. Could I cancel her reservation if she decides not to?

    Yes, please. Space is limited, and so if you are sure you will no longer need your ticket, canceling it will make that spot available to someone else to join along and help raise monies for da keeds.

    All you Lannisters don't forget to bring the gold for the children!

    The Night's Watch also accepts Lannister gold. We take no sides. Except Child's Play's side. We totes take that side.

    ProTip: Call your local bank/credit union/financial institution and ask them to order a roll or two of $1 coins. These are actually gold in color (albeit not in material) and they are legal tender. Having done this before it's actually kind of fun to pull out a handful of gold coins to pay for a drink. Or to toss a coin at a fellow pub-crawler (or into the Child's play tip jar/bag), knowing it is not only for show, but also for real.

    Collorary: coins can hurt if you do more than "toss" them, so please Please know your limits!

    EDIT: a word

    So excited, I just registered ^.^

    The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

    Just a quick update, tickets are about half gone as of this morning.

    Also, House Targaryen is the best house. Fire and Blood!

    House Lannister will pay you twice as much as the Targaryens! Twice the Blood and....sorry no dragons, but we'll buy one if you see one :D

    But, seriously just pick a house w/open spot(s), signup, show up ready for fun w/ your future PAX friends, and help a great cause!

    My cosplay project is starting to come together. Finished building my Arc Reactor last night. I'm sharing because I'm pretty impressed with how it came out. You might need to have a Google account for this link to work
    https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109937817418770495539/albums/6094044345966951281/6094044345692210706?pid=6094044345692210706&oid=109937817418770495539

    As a Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist and Professional Alcoholic, I will be doing my part for House Stark. The only real "challenge" will be The Golden Crown. (Budweiser? Really?! It'll be a real challenge to get that down.) Just remember: dragons don't help with hangovers. So....

    I'm not sure that I like what it says about me that I read the challenges and my first thought was, "Is that all?". The whole thing sounds like the first 2 hours of a normal PAX night for me... Any house in the market for an exceptionally high-functioning Ringer? :P

    I just want to emphasize a few things for anyone new to these particular crawls:
    Swae wrote: »

    In staying with PAX tradition, the Thursday evening prior to PAX will see a huge group of us crawling through the city streets, drinking, making friends, and raising money for Child's Play.
    ...
    This means we will ask you for donations. There will probably be cool things auctioned off. Don’t be stingy - bring some extra cash and think of the children.
    ...
    How Do I Win?
    ...
    The House that raises the most will be declared the most bestest house ever (at least for this year) and will have bragging rights going into Book Two.

    [/spoiler]

    The crawl isn't about measuring your liver, so don't be worried if you have to slow down- or if you want a couple booster shots to get you good 'n' toasty, by all means!

    Above all, this is drinking FOR THE KIDS! Stay safe!

    Yeah, the drinking and the challenges are the framework for bringing everyone together and being social together, but the /goal/ is to raise money.

    ((Sorry for my sudden absence, holidays+retail=please kill me. Thankfully, that is over for another year.))

    Unwilling to surrender yourself into the service of a House? Hesitant to believe that the protection of a realm is worth abstaining from most of life's simplest pleasures? Follow no banner, bow to no man, yet still find yourself seeking the strength of a unified force?

    Search no more: you belong among us, your fellow free folk -- they call us the Wildlings. On the night of battle, we will valiantly consume drink after drink, earning coin for our children and respect for our kind! Stand with us as we fight drink for great glory against the bannermen of self-proclaimed kings and queens!

    Don't forget, if you use Facebook, groups are up for each team so you can strategize. Or, just meet some of your fellow drinkers beforehand. Can't wait to meet everyone - it's getting closer!
