A bit early but how many of you out there are starting to get hyped for PAX West 2018? :twisted:

If they continue with the release of the past couple years, it'll be the beginning of June. But they won't go on sale until after East. So it's highly unlikely it'll be April.
I am not sure how these two things would work together, though (riding the LR with full MHW armor might get strange looks, even in Seattle)
Now if it were Portland...
Just a nerd into anything Nintendo, anime, MCU, Star Wars, and board games/card games.
Also a computer scientist and a streamer.
And I adore this community of anticipation. ♥
I like the Sheraton's bathrooms just fine, but The Hyatt's are clearly superior. If a tub is important to you, the extra few percent you spend for the Hyatt are worth it.
"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
I regularly stay at The Moore. Worth noting, it lacks AC. If you want cheap and don't mind hoofing it 1/2 mile to the convention center, it's a good choice. And many of their rooms have big ol' claw-foot tubs. They modified them to prevent people taking baths. I may or may not bring my own drain plug when I stay there.
That isn't even counting the lines for food or bathrooms (or the time I just leaned up against the wall to rest and then people lined up behind me and somehow, we had formed a Line For Nothing Going Nowhere (tm))
There's a few ways to play this that my group has tried. My second PAX I didn't really know about the room share system so I stayed at the Green Tortoise hostel, it (was) 35 a night, they give you lock box for your stuff, and it has free breakfast of eggs and pancakes and sometimes dinner as well.
Currently I have a large enough group for room share, and I value most the short walking distance to convention. However, a friend of mine did an orbitz deal for hotel (him and his girlfriend wanted privacy), rental car, and plane ticket for like... 1000 dollars total by getting a hotel near the airport, and then they just took the tram in.
I'm just imagining me in my post-PAX depression buying 20 burgers and eating them in bed when I get back to PA.
You are anticipating your state after the event you're currently anticipating?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached a new level of SOON. XD
Happy to raise the bar! You should see my PAX cost estimates. I keep a record of every year and can have multiple year estimates going at one time.
I love this dedication
I'm freakishly dedicated. Don't know when it happened, but I'm comfortable with it.
I did that one year. Was super excited. But I didn't find PAX people until a group got on in Portland. And I slept terribly. (I boarded at midnight... and was sitting next to a young kid who was an active sleeper and sleep-punched me at one point.) Perhaps if you're further South and the entire train isn't all asleep you'll have an easier time finding PAX people. The organization that there once was is no longer there.
I'm glad I did so once (I'd never been on a train beyond sleeper cars tbh) but I've no desire to do so again.
