I carry a slim backpack. It's not too heavy and doesn't cause issues in crowds. That and I hate messenger bags because over the course of pax they make my shoulder hurt.

I usually carry a messenger bag around, but I'm thinking I might invest in a light backpack for PAX.
Whoooo! 3 weeks out, and I'm so hyped to see you all again!
What night are we going to Jillian's? @The Otaku Suppository any ideas for fancy dinner? I'm probably going to freeze to death since I don't have any winter clothes, but I can't wait to see all the snow!
@DrZiplock will you have any free time for festivities this PAX?
Also, I'm probably staying at the Omni Parker again, so hopefully will be having a Boston Cream every night. *drool*
You should probably get some boots first and foremost. And then probably an elk-skin parka and ice pick and sherpa. Because at the rate we keep getting snow, I don't think there's going to be a city. You'll have to get around by dog sled.
You think I'm kidding, but seriously, there is about 80+ inches on the ground at this point that hasn't gone anywhere since it's fallen since it's never gotten above freezing. The "snow farms" where the snow can be dumped are basically full and we just got like a foot today and it's about -8 outside. And we're supposed to get more Tuesday and possibly next Sunday.
Also, yes, I have an idea for a dinner in the works.

The MBTA announced today that 100% service will not be in place for at least 30 days - with that number becoming larger if the area is hit with another snowstorm. Should some restrictions be in place for PAX, it won't hinder downtown travel too much - but could be a major inconvenience for anyone staying a fair distance from the BCEC. Based on current conditions, this is how the subway system currently looks:
Anything with a black line through it is a stop that is currently out-of-service or being covered by shuttles. If there's something you want to see in those areas (examples include the Sam Adams Brewery, BC, BU, Assembly Row, etc.) and the subway is in a similar state during PAX - think twice before going. I have coworkers that have brutal subway commutes at the moment - up to three hours for what is normally a 30 minute trip. This has been the state of the system for the past few weeks, and with nowhere to put the snow, may not be better anytime soon. Many key locations are within the "safe zone", so to speak - the BCEC, Copley, Fanueil Hall, the North End, Fenway, the Commons, and downtown.
On the plus side, anyone flying in should not be heavily impacted. Airport Station (Blue Line) has been fully open, and the Silver Line has no major issues (it has no tracks and remains underground for most of its trip). For anyone staying on those outlying points - have a backup plan in mind, such as Uber, Lyft, etc. The shuttles that replace the trains are very slow and tend to be very, very crowded - the addition of the PAX crowd will only slow things down more.

Works great over Bluetooth.
Last time I went my young and foolish self didn't bring anything, and man that was a mistake.
I was thinking maybe it's time to invest in a decent messenger bag?
That or a backpack, something light and easy to carry merch in should you buy anything.
the only downside is if you don't have time between the con & late night stuff to ditch the bag I guess
also guys I made something go look at my twitter

Fuuuuuck clomping around PAX in boots.
They just stay as is, or escalate, depending on shenanigans
So my guess is yes there will be bag inspections again
