Just wanted to make a thread to connect people with the people they mingled with during PAX this year.
I hope everyone finds the new friends they met this year and keeps the connection strong throughout the yearly waits for annual PAXage.
My name's Josh, I was wearing a gray and black, rimmed beanie-hat for most of PAX. I also wear glasses.
You probably would've talked to me outside of the exhibition center. I spent most of Saturday talking with Frontalot, Front's Mom and Mustin from the OneUps. I also chilled out with a lot of really cool enforcers that night; Mainly at Frontalot's booth earlier on, then in front of the Minibosses' booth while they were playing. In fact I only got one of your names, I believe that was Tabitha. You and your boyfriend were really fun to talk to, I hope to be able to hang with you guys again next year.
I probably talked up a storm to those who know who I am.
Also, big props to the Canadian guy my friends and I talked with about card games (mainly magic) in the line for Taco Del Mar on Sunday.
If I manage to snag a picture of myself that isn't ridiculously embarrassing (like being half naked at the Mega64 Booth while trading my shirt.) I'll post it to help out identification.
I hope you all wish to do the same as I've done here.
Have a good recovery and I hope you all got back home safely!
Can't wait for PAX '08.
Edit: Eh... I'll post this one, though it makes me feel dirty and fat. Also, it's hard to look good in comparison to the Front beautying up the picture.

except i was wearing my glasses during the convention. I was with a loud guy with sunglasses, and like, 5 other friends...
I'm Henry. I wore a green gibson high school computer club shirt on friday, a black Computers are fun now shirt on saturday, and a red optimus rhyme shirt on sunday. everyday with a (different) black button up underneath. I have an NES controller belt buckle and i guess girly jeans... haha.
I usually had a red vs blue messenger bag on. I hung out at the Astro sound booth playing lots of shadow run.
Anywho, I doubt anybody really remembers but I was one of the kids who was finger-sword fighting on the first day as the doors opened. We were just fooling around to pass the time like we always do but usually there's not an audience gawking at us. If anyone was there they'll remember that I took a really really bad fall. I flipped around or did something, I don't remember entirely, and fell really hard on my shoulder. When my friend and I sword fight, we go all out with flips and jumps and pushing. As I flipped either over or around his arm, my foot slipped on the concrete floor and landed on my side. I remember that entire side of the room (we were in the first row of the line to get in) let out a huge, audible groan. My shoulder even popped at the impact and I'm sure had I fallen any harder I would have dislocated it. It's still really sore and tingly now. If anyone remembers me, it's probably from that event. I'm relatively short, asian with short spiked hair and I was wearing a black hoodie and jeans.
Other than that, I was also in the smash and double dash tournies. I played as link/falco and though I have to say that I'm pretty good at smash, I got worked bad by a really really good yoshi. I tied for second with the same aforementioned friend in my pool for double dash but lost in the elimination round. We were team snake.
Hmm...what else...oh yeah, my friends and I looked like complete dorks when we were dancing to MC frontalot. We met a couple cool guys at the pre-pax dinner, 6:30 wave, but never met up with any of them during the actual convention. I think the only person's name I distinctly remember is someone named Chris.
But, I was Sithseth (Du'h), and was in team VEC during the CS Source Tournament. I also played a lot of GH2 with some friends in room 310.
Can't way for next year! ( I
If anything, I was the annoying guy clarifying Gabe on Chewbacca being hit by a moon rather than just any old heavenly body (I'm still hurt, Timothy Zahn!!! Damn you, Vector Prime!).
Here's me cleaned up ( 3 weeks ago, so sans beard, and my hair is pulled back, but you get the idea).
You look likely to be eaten by a Grue! Sorry, couldn't resist.
My constant companion, has the incredible ability to sit behind me while I type and be an english major, however he is in Mathematics. Anyway, he had dark brown hair, a ponytail, squarish glasses, and Various buttonups, columating in a hawaiian shirt on Sunday.
Me, wearing the hat all 3 days. I had a piece of paper with 3/4 written on it in the brim of the hat on sat-sun. Red jacket most days.
I obtained Gabe's blessing beforehand, of course.
I'm also sending out questing tendrils (tentacles) to the folks I played like three turns of Arkham Horror with on Friday night (two enforcers, Crystal and ...Mike? Goohoobyou?), a Brian, and some other awesome folks; and a Zach with whom me, my boy, and my brother played Munchkin Cthulhu with Sunday afternoon. Hi! I'm the short blonde/redhead beglasses-ed chick with the wacky metal in my left ear wearing the "I'm a super duper programmer!"/"Are you my [blood] type?" shirts respectively. Y'all seemed like a lot of fun and I'd love to exchange emails (if you're not on lj, that being my first choice </dork>).
P.S.... if any of u do see this... Gimme ur phone number and ur gamertags.
go me. //edit ... im in the dress ofcource!
Yeah, I totally thought you were a chick from behind when you were bending over....
You're drawn to my eccentric Brawl Code: 4596 9143 4529
aha! yes my fiancee and I walked past you and she got very freaked out
Sadly I didn't have anyone snag a pic of me to use as a visual aid.

OK, so you dress up in a dress (no problem here). But don't you know the backwards hat is so 90's. ;-)
Also Stupid Badge Number 57020 if that means anything.... damn those badges were annoying.
I totally have that shirt, but I didn't wear it there. I was the brunette, often with glasses, dragging around an Alienware case to BYOC and back that was seemingly larger than me (special thank you to the Enforcer who helped me to the north end of the fourth floor with that monster of a tower!).
I was pretty visible and I had my picture taken a lot.
Badge number 58576 for what it's worth...
Any ways, I was the 5'5" boy with long flowing red hair and was wearing blue jeans the whole Convention. I wore my Viva Miyamoto shirt the first day and I forget what shirts i wore the last two days. I carried a red and black backpack the whole con.
So yeah, AWESOME Metroid hat.
Dude, you were awesome.
But I have to ask...
Do you have huge balls, or did you lose a bet and have huge balls?
Because, dude, it took some juevos to pull that off, and you rocked it.

You look really familiar. I think I beat you at Smash Bros.
I saw you by the Eye of Judgement booths, and really wanted to compliment you on your hat -- bowler hats! Always classic! -- but I was way too shy.
I was the Ph33r-hat-wearing, Will-56263 douchebag on pictochat. Spoinku, if you're out there, show yourself jesus christ.
The best part of this year was the epic tales written on Pictochat (which definitely needs a log-saving mechanism.) Most memorable: "Don't leave, Will cries tears made of chocolate."
I look like this I guess.
I was also selling off my spare NOD Patches, they only make patches in lots of 50 minimum... It pissed me off, but earned me enough spare dough to buy burritos. Bitchin.
Oh shit, I saw you too. Kickass outfit by the way.
You may or may not remember me from picto-chat. I had a pretty good Cock Hero III drawing amongst other good ones. I saw many people taking pictures/videos of my picto drawings :P
Also, I don't think they read this, but someone named Lizzie was picto-chat stalking me. She was in almost every picto-chat I was in.
How the hell did I miss an NOD army?! Or a guy in a PEACH costume?! I saw most of the rest of you. Spent most of my time with my wife in the exhibition hall. Definitely remember the Metroid hat, but didn't get a good look and didn't want to piss off the wife looking at another woman. LOL
Anyway, there were only like 2 people as tall or taller than me. 6'6" chunky, really long, poofy, curly red-brown ponytail, strap beard w/o mustache, glasses. Wore black jeans and a Half Life 2/Resident Evil 2/Lord of the Rings Online shirt. Wore an old military backpack most of the time. Was hanging with me wifey who was gothy with goggles and spikes and all smiles. We spent a LOT of time demoing all the card games and some time at Pirates of the Burning Sea talking to the devs while she played. Was fun, but I wish she and I weren't so shy/social anxiety ridden.
[edit]OH! If you have anymore NOD badges to get rid of, let me know. I'm a local. Live downtown.
I wore about 4 different shirts over the weekend and don't recall which one when. Spent most of my time in the ex-hall or in the wireless lounges. JPants on Pictochat (hi to Alice, Head, Zither, etc). I'm completely non-descript and don't let people take my picture so i'm sure no one would recognize me even if i had one to post.
Saturday night i crashed ytcrackers room and hung out there with some awesome folks whos names i didn't catch (except ANOTHER Josh, and a Katie).
