PAX Opening Night Party - Video Games, Handhelds, Decks, Music, Drinks, Fun!
Thank you PAX South for an AMAZING party and meetup! We hope everyone enjoyed the friendly atmosphere! Some of those Smash matches were legit and it was fun to watch the Left4Dead and Mario Kart players game through the night. We met so many new faces tonight, and it was really great to see the interactions and connections people made as they played their favorite games. Special thanks to On the Rocks Pub for opening their doors and providing great drinks, music, and excellent service. We hope everyone had a fun night and enjoyed a great kick-off to the PAX weekend!

This is something I'm down for. :]
Besides checking often, is there a way to better know of your events ahead of time?
Wonderful, thanks!
Can you wear cosplay to this bar? Are they friendly?
Yes! I have personally met with the owner and they are very supportive and excited about our event. Even some of the bartenders are considering dressing up to join us in the festivities. Please feel free to wear your cosplays! On the Rocks Pub is close to a majority of the hotels around the convention center, so you can easily walk there!
Are there tickets/do you have to show your PAX badge?
Nope! No cover and completely open to the public! PAX attendees and friends welcome!
Will there be (this game) there or people who play (this game) on their DS?
There will be a lot of diverse game players at this party. We will have A diverse selection of games available for different players on consoles, and I know a lot of people will be playing on their DS. Chances are...you will find a group of players to hang out with who play the same games you enjoy. On the Rocks Pub also has 3 pool tables, shuffle board, and ping pong! There are also plenty of places to sit and spread out. They have bench seating against the walls and 9 six-seater tables.
Our group is LGBT oriented, but not exclusive. We have several members and attendees who are heterosexual and support the group because they are usually a lot of fun. Please don't let the name deter you in any way. This is a PAX party and all are invited to attend...regardless of your orientation.
So excited for this!
We are very honored that she will be making an appearance!

It was great to meet some of you and hang out last night. We had a delicious dinner overlooking the Riverwalk, and we also ran into two groups of the Ice and Fire bar crawl groups which was a hoot. I may or may not have added to their drinking challenges >:-)
We are very excited about the 300+ people who are interested or attending our event tonight! We will try to fit all of you into the bar! Don't forget that the location is under the McDonalds across from the convention center at Commerce and Loyola. I know that it is easy to overlook. Don't forget to bring your handheld devices and games for some extra fun!
If anyone has any additional questions about anything, please feel free to post, message, or Facebook! Also, feel free to swing by our booth in the Diversity Lounge on the second floor. We'll have some Smash and Just Dance going!
See everyone tonight, and happy first day of PAX South!
