Early Meetups

in PAX East
Would there be people interested in a early meetup? Anyone arriving early or from the local area to meetup a day or 2 ahead?

We can plan on location and plans. Just seeing if there would be interest.

    Yes, there are usually several community run meet-up, parties, dinners, and tours starting a few days before PAX. There is the Magical Mystery Tour, Pre-Pax Dinner, PokeCrawl, Pinny Dinner, Game Night...just to name a few.

    Keep your yes open for the party thread as well as the individual event threads, they usually start popping up a couple months before PAX.

    My fiancée and I always get in early on Thursday and our first stop (after checking in) is always Harpoon Brewery for a beer and some delicious pretzels. That would make for a nice meet up.

    Alternatively we also make a point of making it down to the prepax board game night at the Westin

    I will be trying to attend a few of the previous pax meet ups, my first year I went, I went solo and was staying at a friend's house outside the city, this year I'm going to try to get more involved with the larger community.

    Personally the only pre pax meet up I've participated in was the Pre Pax Board Game night. Not sure if thats happening this year (as it almost didn't happen last year.) But I had a blast!

    A group from the forums, led by @punzie, check out the sites on Wed and Thurs before PAX. It's a great way to see the city, they usually stop for lunch, it's a good time.
