Well, I've never started a post in a forum before, but here goes
There's a thread for who's attending PAX and a thread for trading at PAX but there isn't a specific one for meeting up on the Thursday before PAX and it was something I think we may want to have a solid plan about.
I've heard discussions about bar/restaurant meet-ups, BBQ's at a pal's apartment and hanging onto the PrePAX Board Game night at the Sheraton.
I for one like the Board Game Night idea because I'll be in the area picking up my Badge anyway, you don't don't need a badge to attend the boardgame night, I can bring my little brothers and as someone pointed out in the chat, people can just "trickle in" as they arrive.
Does anyone have a better idea? Does this sound good? Who'd want to/can even go? Let's discuss.
Edit:
We've got a time and place. See you at 1pm at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and 6pm at the Palomino Restaurant and Bar for Dinner.
Update:
The Daily Grill surprised us with an upcharge for the group so we are moving the dinner to the Palomino Restaurant and Bar.
If you plan on going and haven't messaged
@Darkinfero, please do so for we can have as accurate a headcount as we can.

“I let out a battle cry. Sure, a lot of people might have mistaken it for a sudden yelp of unmanly fear, but trust me. It was a battle cry.”
It worked well at South and east.
We need to find a place fast that can hold all of us. It would be easier if it's a 5 to 10 minute walk of the convention center.
I will make a poll again.

however I'd love to see some of you there!
I believe board gaming is in the Sheraton? If so, I will bring the box of bags down for easy dispersement
Pogs, with pins. I'll bring the bandaids.

For non-currency? Doing it for money is illegal in most places, but gambling for items is usually a lot less regulated.
I highly doubt anybody would actually give a shit.

Got a call back from the Daily Grill.
They have a back room for 30 people.
If we do go with the room we need to spend about 1k as a group.
We can do something else but we won't have a private room. I also think some of us will buy drinks like myself and Craig.

Well thankfully Daily Grill is right next door
