Most of these are of me and my roommate...we were dressed up as Pandora and Judy Nails. But there's a couple other things!

dude you guys were AWESOME. My friend (I met him seriously like 2 weeks before PAX) was in the cafeteria and he was like "You guys lok like rockstars" or something to that extent. xD Silly silly Terry. My other friend got a picture of you guys, I'm still trying to accumilate all of my friends pictures so i can compile it all and upload it at once. We had 7 people so yeah...saving, cropping, resizing lots and lots of pictures as well as hours of video. We have some of you though so i'll get them to you as soon as I can... if this doesn't end up like my Sakuracon footage where I just decided to archive it all and not look at it again.
Yes! That was so cool! We totally felt like rockstars! I love nerds/geeks, we all rock!
Thanks, i'm looking forward to seeing the pix!
See you next year!
DTJAAAAAM I was near you at the Parappa tshirt toss on saturday at 1:30. I was going to say "yo it's Shotgunsteve from 1up.com and XxHennersXx from Pink Godzilla" but opted not to because I just wanted a damn tshirt.
As for the samoian dude I snatched the tshirt in front of (seriously parappa threw it at his face and i snatched that shit wiht the quickness) sorry man, but the first shirt i caught was a toddler size 3! Serious! I'm only 115 pounds but DAMN!

Hey dude, didn't realize you were there! I wanted one of those darn shirts pretty badly too, I kind of wish that I had gotten one of those instead of the Parappa hats. Oh well, I did manage to find a reasonable deal for a shirt in size L, so no big loss...

the first day they just handed them out. my friend got one that way. i went back they said "tomomorow. all we have are small sizes" and i was like "i'm small" "no dude. super small. like midget." "I'm 115 pounds dude. try me." he shows it to me and i was like "i still want it!" so my friends all grabbed'em. Then i caught another toddler size during the toss and i caught a medium and i took it to the booth and he gave me a youth large and i gave the medium one i caught to my friend david. As for the extra toddler shirt, i'm giving it to my girl. And the other one? I put it on a teddy bear she gave me for Vday and I put a naruto headband on it.
I seriously have 3 of those sony bags full of stuff.

Oh hey, I remember you. We bumped into each other on the second day. You were adorable!
I was the short Asian guy who was skating around on Heely's (BTW, I'm amazed that I wasn't once approached by security or management even once for that.). I think I have a picture with you somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
Big, big line! But so fun! Everyone pulled out their DS and it was on. We talked with strangers and drank the blue drink. BTW, I heard about the legendary blue ball at last year's convention. I think this years memory for us will be the constant sound of empty blue bottles tipping over on concrete - "tink tink tink tink"
Mr. Peach playin' Peach.
I pitched a game idea "Sandbox Bugs" along with my husband. We didn't make it, but we got lots o' cool free stuff and Porkfry caught us in the exhibit hall and told us he thought the idea was cool. ...and now...we can die happy. Here's my husband with Porkfry.
And of course, my husband had to get his PA books signed. I'm always telling my husband to stop picking things up in the store and touching things at people's houses. It was only natural for this to happen when he met one of his heroes. Sorry Tycho....
We had a great time! Thank you Penny Arcade! My husband has long wanted to trek up to Seattle for PAX, and I'm so glad he brought me too. :-) PAX ppl are great to hang out with. Can't think of many more communities I'd wanna be a part of.

This year I nearly doubled the photos taken to around 3500 (which averages to something like one every 40 seconds :P). It took two vacation days (and nights) to process them all, and they still need to be properly tagged. Hope you guys like them!
Here is a Flickr of what I have taken. Most are of people I hung out with from the forums, but there's still lots of the general show and such. I am not done resizing and such and will be finishing that tomorrow. These are about half of them up until Friday night after the Guitar Hero 2 pairs tournament:
I saw him during Sakura Con and i never read the news page since i don't have the patience to do so. So while wandering down the booths i saw Gabe and Tycho just sitting there. and i was like "HOLY FUCK!!!" and did this freak out thing *my bf can explain this a lot better since he was standing beside me like *uhhh you ok?*.
Apparently their faces were priceless but I wouldn't know since i was on panic freak out mode.
But I ran into him like the first 10 min of PAX and explained the story and as we were taking a picture he asked "you got your shit together today?"
Thumbs up with 1up's Ryan O'Donnell and Kathleen Sanders (we all geeked out for a minute or two about an illustration of the EGM/1up offices I'd drawn for EGM earlier this summer. WOO.)

Hey it's one half of the kick butt rockers I do have a pic of you and your roommate.
I also have a flickr page with PAX07 pics, none of them are labeled but they are in sets. Also note that since I was an Enforcer you may see a bit of behind the scenes stuff.

So how much swag did you get?
I plan on giving most of this away in contests in the future.

Note that the dude in the corset is Accalon, our Omegathon champ. This was Sunday night, so he was celebrating a bit.
I had such a blast, It was so awesome meeting all you guys in person.
mostly people I know in the photos, and some of myself but, meh, I got the Halo guy that everyone wanted a picture of

This year I nearly doubled the photos taken to around 3500 (which averages to something like one every 40 seconds :P). It took two vacation days (and nights) to process them all, and they still need to be properly tagged. Hope you guys like them!
Highlights:
- I was granted access to the HeroClix Scarab, and made a high-definition stitch of it.
- Same with the Big Daddy.
- Catching the falling Jenga Blocks.
- OneUps, Optimus Rhyme, Freezepop, Neskimos, Coulton, Frontalot, and Minibosses
- And lots, lots more...
I was the guy walking around with a second flash and a tripod, taking pictures of everything.I'll post again when panoramas are done processing. Nice to see you all!

Those photos are awesome. I especially like the Johnathon Coulton one... nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed. :-) My husband apologized to Tycho for his enthusiasm. Tycho's remark was, "I hope it was as good for you as it was for me."
Thanks Tycho and Gabe for just bein' cool. :-)

If any of you guys have a picture of the guy on the last day playing the guitar behind his head, I'd love you if you could post it/send it to me.
Secondly, post all your Rock Band Pictures here, for a game which looks awesome.
Shitty cell video of a band. It will play in quicktime; it's a weird format.

edit: god damn it stop making duplicate threads, people!
It's the video type motorola phones use.
Duude, I searched EVERYWHERE for that WTF shirt. I totally still want it!! How do I get my hands on one of your extra WTF shirts???
