Wow I hate being "that person", but until I just moved to Vancouver this weekend, I hadn't considered attending this year's PAX at all.
But with the entire week off before school starts, alone in a newish city and so geographically close to PAX (that's in a city I was just in a couple weeks ago for a concert), I think I could pull it off...
HOWEVER,
I am obviously lacking in each of the 3 major areas. Now I've been scrambling to do my own research too and have been investigating multiple options simultaneously but I just though I might consolidate things into one thread and sorta put it out there that Deus would like some help. If I dont make it, it's not the end of the world. But I can go so I'd like to go.
Need:
-entry! a 3 day pass. Currently (unless someone has one to sell) I'll be needing to line up Friday morning (how early?!) to get one at the window.
- travel! I'm in Vancouver. Seems to be a couple options, there is the Amtrak bus that goes to Seattle for about $30 CAD each way, OR if someone is driving from this area and has a free spot that'd be best. I could contribute gas costs of course. Last resort is driving my own car alone down there and then having to find parking as well.
- someplace to stay! I'm currently seeing if a couple places in downtown Seattle have any availability, but otherwise a soft floor or couch at ANYONE's place would do just fine. (I am not needy and the cleanest person around). Or if someone wanted to put me inside a hotel room they have space in, that'd be kosher as well - as long as the costs are split (aiming for about $30/night for me wherever i end up)
Thank you very much!

How many people would you say is in that line? A few hundred? It looks long and it is long, but I've waited in lines of similar length. Prolly no more than 500 people in that line.
Note: I could be way off.
15-30 minutes if I recall correctly, I was 10 feet from the front door and we could see the enforcers inside, mocking us.
MOCK!
YEAH!
ING!

Yeah I've been posting in the other threads as well.
So you're saying passes would be sold at noon on Friday at the earlies?
Is that line for people who need tickets then? Or those that already have them? Or both?
Darn, I was hoping for the early get in, it helped with swag getting :P
I could get to the safeway meeting point for the CST tomorrow, but that in itself could be a challenge without having someone to drop me off or pick me up. I suppose I could get up early enough to bus it over there. I wouldnt want to drive and then have to leave my car there 3 days is all.
HMMM
I leave downtown tonight at 7:30.
and the hostel had people cancel so im good there too
alll i need now is a ride at the end on Sunday night or monday morning depending on whether there is anything worth staying around for.
