{END UPDATE}
So way back when, I super pre-reg'd myself and the family for all three days of PAX. As these things happen with me being in the Navy, plans changed and now I am not even going to be on the same half of the earth when PAX goes down. The wife and kid don't want to go without me ("Just won't be the same.") Since they are done and paid for, I am going to just hand off the passes to someone who may be actually able to use them.
Here's what is going on. Adhere to the rules and we are cool. What you need to do:
1) Live in the Seattle Area and be poor enough not to be able to buy your own pass. The area is loosely defined based on how far you are willing to travel. Portland, maybe. But if you want to drive from LA, then obviously money to buy tickets won't be a problem for you.
2) Write me a haiku on how cool you think PAX/Penny Arcade is.
3) Enjoy the show.
4) Only one pass per person.
5) Convince Wil Wheaton to call my wife and say 'Hi!' Ok, maybe not that one.
6) Any attachments are welcome. But please consider, all e-mails are forwarded to my work address. Internet connection ain't so hot in the middle of the ocean. Ever tried to share a dail-up connection with 200 people? Didn't think so. Keep attachments as small as possible.
7) If it turns out that you get them and can't use them either, please don't be greedy and try and sell them to someone else.
And that's it. Just e-mail the following to 'sixtimesseven(at)gmail(dot)com'.
1) City you live in. (If you win, I will e-mail you for the full address).
2) The Haiku.
3) Other items for consideration.
4) Any attachments.
I guess I'll give it a little bit of time (maybe beginning of August). Winners will have the entire package forwarded to them.
Enjoy.

Oh, I forgot you could do that
Yeah, I hope my friend gets picked. If not, I will probably buy her way in.
Does he know you're doing this? You know, relationships are based on trust. :P
and yes of course he knows, how else would have I gotten the password?
but it doesn't matter because he knows I have been checking his mail for the haikus. It makes sense since I am the one who will have to pass out the passes.
It means that now I can make my friend come to PAX because he PROMISED he would if I got him a pass.
Are you talking about who I think you're talking about?

Probably not. You met him for a little while over at our place, on Friday. He came over for a little while to hang out.
and congratz to the winners
