The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
We are wrapping up some finishing touches before we launch pre-registration for PAX 2008, open up the hotel room blocks and start releasing content info. It's going to be another stellar year, and although I know we set the bar pretty high with 2007, I think there were a lot of things we learned in 2007 that are going to make 2008 that much more awesome.
I'll put a post up here with the link to preregistration before we announce it on the front page, so you guys can be our beta testers and put it through the wringer before we launch it to the masses!
1. Forum Stalking for the latest info and meeting PAX friends old and new
2. Developing our PAX Budget and putting away $$$
3. Planning PAX Purchases (computer equipment and accessories)

I might find a way to get a projector for this year. Classic console night might be interesting. However they did have that classic atari/nes/snes collection there this year and that was pretty damned cool. I wonder if classic console night is obsolete now.
Heh. I think it's easiest now since it is so far away. More time to plan, dream, etc. Now in June? That'll be tough because you're SOOOOO close and the days will just drag in anticipation.

I can definitely attest to this. I started my PAX planning in June last year, and it was agony waiting for August.

JUNE?!?! I've been planning for this PAX since.... idk. Moe, when did we start talking about this year's CCST? I think it was before last year's PAX was over.

I didn't know much about PAX till June last year when a close friend and also noob Enforcer that year encouraged me to sign up.
I'm doing things right this year. I started planning for PAX08 at Set-up the day before '07 opened.
*LOL* It's awesome because nearly every moment of PAX is a learning experience for Next PAX. We made plenty of decisions as we were packing, unpacking, driving, setting up BYOC, etc etc. And I think it'd be a great exercise to dig up the PAX07 Regrets thread to remind you of anything you might have forgotten about.
What's crazy is that I STILL haven't put away some stuff from last year! My suitcase is sitting in the same place we left it when we got home! Hmmmm, is it even unpacked? I should probably check....

I will once again be putting together the Pre-PAX Breakfast (home of the bacon waffle).
However, a thread won't go up until about the month before PAX.
Enjoying bacon and waffly goodness since 2007!
I will see you there once again and this time I will be talking about the kick ass Virgin America flight (DC to Seattle) I just got off of. I will be playing Doom with other people on my flight using Virgin's RED media system.
Indeed PAX but once a year just doesn't seem to be enough. If they ever do a east coast PAX I truly hope they are 6 months apart so that I could attend both.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
Oh oh I can't wait to test out me giving you more lovely money Mr. Khoo. Oh and when can I send more gobs of money to you for PAX 07 DVDs?
I want my eye loving of Wil Wheaton to be played over and over again.

I wish I knew if I'd be able to attend PAX this year or not. You think the anticipation is killing you guys? I don't have a clue if I'll still be here or not.

I for one already have the PTO approved. Last year I just drove in every day from Lynnwood, but no more. I think I am making enough money now to afford a hotel room right down town. Plus, not being able to drink too much as I would be driving kind of brought me down a bit. With hotel comes freedom from driving. Plus I spent about 60 bucks on parking alone for the 3 days. That alone is 1/5th a hotel room.

Well if you're going to be driving down to the hotel... they are going to charge for parking as well.

Bus. I was going to last year, but I never got a hotel room.
If you can pull that off BR I would half craft a statue in your honor.

The problem with my costume last year is that either no one "got" it or they did not realize that it was a costume. I think people though I dressed in that style all the time. O_o

Why would it be?!
Damn, now I gotta think about building a Shuttle. I haven't finished the damn computer I am working on now...:x
Even though I'm in the air for 30 hours total (15 to get there, 15 to get back), I'm so looking forward to it. Last year was awesome.
However, a thread won't go up until about the month before PAX.
Get the PAX 2008 Countdown widget and while away your sad, pathetic life watching it tick down the hours to PAX '08!

The best plan of action is to not think about it.

I found three boxes of mints and a bunch of PS2 demos which have been long-since released!
Can't wait for info to start comin out on PAX '08
Is this the big announcement?
And the rest of us would have to take up shady jobs in order to pay for PAX each weekend.

It will be in the wsctc again.
Its the only place large enough now to have PAX in :P
If that ever happens i hereby reserve the taphouse for BYOC.

I have not been thinking of costume ideas until just now. Maybe I could go as a soldier from God of War:

I would go as Kratos, but I am not going to shave my head and I am not wearing that much white makeup.
