I only have two so far:
1) Had the alternator of the car I was driving crap out on the way back and leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere.
2) Got the flu once I returned from PAX.
For the guys who went to both expositions, did anything really odd happen both times?

Same happened to me the first time around. Met two awesome guys (who also were at PAX) in Seattle at the Space Needle and just ran all over town Sunday night.
2005: Won Battlefield 2 tournament
Wait, I actually hope that doesn't happen again.
In my defense, I left before that even happend. I had plenty of fun shooting around the hotel rooms before that, though.
Im sure they dont want to see "Business Pork After-hours" again either.
This is also saying nothing about the incredible Almost-Punch-You-In-The-Nuts-Game.
My arm was so fucking sore the next day, pork and I had been doing that all day.
I think that should be next years omegathon final game..you already lost.
EDIT: P.S. Porkfry tacos are allways great to see....get your woman and move up here!
(again, I'm sorry)
2) Meeting up with crazy awesome people I haven't seen in a year or more randomly.
3) Cramming more people into a room than necessary for sleeping purposes.

Anytime I heard that song, for a year afterward, it filled me up with that happy sentimental feeling and I could just imagine the excitement of riding along, up to the building and knowing you really WANT to be there, and how great of a time you're bound to have.
This year, same thing. I made sure Go To Sleep was playing as we drove up.
Next year? Probably, the same damn thing. Since I'm so predictable.
2) ....yeah that's it.
This year: Played "iron man" paper rock scissors in the doubletree, played magic with the same guy from last year, skipped the CS and BF2 for warmachine (though hindsight makes me wish it had been the other way around), got my name skipped over for mario kart again, and again had fun roommates.
That, and both times I ran over an inordinate number of small animals on the highway to/from pax...
And I hear the be sick for ONE WHOLE MONTH after pax is a tradition as well.
I'm a bit of an alcohol newb, and each year, PAX has introduced me to a new aspect of the culture. Last year it was the concept of how much alcohol can cost when a group of people go drinking together (Drinking with RvB, bill was somewhere north of $500 for the night). This year, I tried my first mixed drink at the Turbine party. I asked for a Makers' Mark and Coke, but she poured me something with Bacardi and Pepsi. I don't think I cared.
2) The weeklong post-PAX flu. I got it like everyone else, just like last year. Maybe a couple packets of Emergen-C in the goodie bags would help. I dunno.

That's what I did!
And my friend that I went with,
had less fun then I did.
Because of that...
That and I know how to,
find the good stuff.
I planned too much and nothing happened. Except during the short breaks betwean planned things.
Same with Nerf Wars.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
If PAX is after August 18th I'll be home free, but if it's before that, it's questionable. If PAX is anytime before August 10th, I'll definitely not be able to go.

*shudder* the sound of 3000 people cracking their knuckles....
You can ride down with me and we can keep a tally of how many small animals are run over this next year!
My first as well and I hear you on the random parties. I didn't sleep for 40 hours, hopping from hotel room to room back to the con and back to a hotel... crazy. Also, how'd you find the cartoons, man? Too cool. ^_^
I second his tradition of party collecting. lol.

Also, in 04, the day before PAX was my 20th birthday, and in 05, Saturday was my 21st, and I got into the Turbine party two hours before I was really eligible and about 12 minutes into my birthday I won a beta pass into DDO, and subsequently about 20-30 drink tickets (sorry everyone who gave me one, I don't really drink, but I'm making PAX from now on an exception), followed by my hanging out leading to afforementioned poker game. This year, my birthday will be on Sunday, and I as of yet don't quite know what I should do for it.
I didn't. course.. I get sick maybe once a year.
Don't let trillian kill me!
i didn't
{Fondly remembers the PAXTrain}
Oh man, some people are never happy, this is the post I didn't want to see.
Nigga, where you been!? Birthday ideas, eh? Hmmmm...
PAX after-party dedicated to our birthday boy, anybody?
I was planning to do so during the 05 screening, but I was unable to attend PAX last year.
I plan to have my Khan-yell this year.
