Welcome to the 2015 Pre-PAX Dinner! This is a really fun dinner held the day before PAX where you can meet and hangout with a whole bunch of other PAXers. If you're planning on attending other pre-PAX events then this is a great place to come meet and eat right before heading out into the night!
Your ticket will give you a variety of meal choices…including delicious burgers, sandwiches, soup, salad…as well as vegetarian and gluten free options….there is something on the menu for everyone. A selection of appetizers including flatbread pizzas and warm house made chips with spicy onion dip will also be served before dinner.
A cash bar will be available for those who wish to enjoy a specialty or alcoholic beverage, soda is included with your ticket i.e. coke, sprite, etc.
This event is open to all ages - all are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Tickets
The ticket price this year is $27.45 + $2.50 Eventbrite fee, kids meal tickets (ages 3-12) are $12.00 + $1.65 Eventbrite fee. I'm going through Eventbrite, this service has been used for other PAX events and seems to work well. Advance purchase required, tickets will not be sold at the door. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-pre-pax-dinner-tickets-14494849485
When you arrive, please provide your printed ticket. If for some reason you can't provide the ticket then have the email confirmation, .pdf, photo ID, or something that shows that you are who you say you are so we can get everyone quickly checked in.
What to wear…what to wear?
Anything that you want…it’s a casual event so have fun with it!
Final Note
I will not make a profit on this event and if at any time there is any doubt about this I will be more than willing to post all expenditures. If there is extra money at the conclusion of the event these remaining proceeds will be donated to Child's Play.
Thank you all and see you in March!
*Appetizers from 5-5:30pm, meal service will start immediately after.
**Kids meal section can be made that night, no need to select now. However, if you wish to make a selection from the main menu please purchase a full price ticket.

Thanks, I think we are all set for now. I'm really looking forward to the dinner...I hope everyone likes the place and of course the food!
Yes. Based on last years attendance and the reserved space there are 80 tickets. However, as the dinner gets closer if we need to reserve more space to accommodate more PAXers we can.
I've eaten at the place a few times before, but could never get them to do the dinner the second time I organized things. I'm glad you could!

We will be in the main 2nd floor room with the large bar, this area is accessible by stairs and elevator. I can say that having been in a few times the food looked and smelled amazing, it looks like it will be a great fit for us. I hope you make it and can stay for the entire dinner this year - it should be a great time!
However, I can guarantee that you'll meet more people at the party...it's fun and easy and maybe you'll win a prize.
Got questions...I got answers.
oh, PAX is just around the corner...can you feel it?!?
I need to ask my parents, plus I don't know when we are getting to Boston so..
@Puggles damn work always getting in the way of a good time!
Welcome! Your best bet is to take the MBTA, locally known as the "T". Hotels by the airport are on the Blue Line...hop on an inbound train and get off at State Street, its only a two minute walk from State Street to the restaurant. The train ride over is like 15 minutes.
For anyone who buys a ticket from today forward please shoot me a PM with your meal selection. Thanks!
I'll be making sure to post this warning everywhere I can.
I have worked really hard over the past several months putting this together. If you feel that it is not worth attending, don't attend. If you have questions, please ask. If you have suggestions, please comment. But I would appreciate you not slamming this event.
this event is being run by different people in a different place and is basically nothing at all like last year. clannmorgan has done an amazing job putting together what is looking like a super fun and well-planned event, so please pay a little more attention before "warning" people about an event you know nothing about.
Then you should distance yourself from the past event. Because what I see is an extension of an event that occurred last year.
Did you bother to check to see who is running it this year or read any of her posts about the changes she has made? It doesn't seem like it, because you want to lump this all in with your bad experience last year. It is being run by someone else entirely who has nothing to do with the previous dinner. She has volunteered her time and she has put a great deal of effort and thought into correcting the mistakes of last year. A lot of hard work has gone into this.
I'm sorry you felt it was a rip off, I was there last year and felt so too. But you are way off base with your post. ClannMorgan like a lot of people did not get a refund last year either. But unlike you she is not making it her life's mission to bad mouth this event regardless of what changes. Instead, she is trying to make it better for everyone. Maybe you should move on from your bitterness.
Sunday, March 1st at 11:59pm. So there is still over a week left.
Just remember to send me your meal selection after you get your tickets.
See you all there 8-)
Its still early...hopefully things work out and we'll see you there!
I guess I'd better get on that. <insert guilty emoticon here>. Is that an email thing or a PM on forums thing?
