Well we've had Australians and Portugese post on these forums so I thought I'd ask if anyone from the British Isles plans to go to PAX '08? I'm asking as I hail from the Blighty AKA UK and will be going to my first PAX ever and wondered if anyone else from the Sceptred Isle is going also.
Now I am meeting someone there but the 9.5 hour plane ride may be a tad more pleasant with a fellow PAX attendee. I'm going to be using BA as Virgin don't fly to Seattle (bah!) and will get there on the 28th. So anyone else doing the same trip?

So if you can get a Virgin flight to Washginton DC or LA from the UK, you could get a Virgin flight to seattle from there.
Nah, we'll just submit them to OUR taxes. *curses the state's 7.7%*
Anyway if anyone is travelling from London to PAX this year on 28th then I'd more more that happy to meet up.
Heathrow isn't in Jamaica! don't be silly.
You're alive!!!
Hope to see you out there (if we can go that is, should know end of this month) Frenchy might be coming, but I have a few others that want to come.
Me and David are deffinately coming, don't know about Jesse yet.
See you there, Nancy boy.
We have to meet up as soon as possible
Sales tax here is 17.5% (VAT).
If PAX was held a bit later in the year I'd probably make it. Maybe the husband and I will head up next year as my brother lives up there.
Have a great time spreading the joys of Bangers and Mash.
I like the idea of the brit party
Also first post, after lurking for several months
Haha, thats funny, last year I went wearing an Orange 'Ginger Appreciation Society Member' tshirt (only hugged one ginger, and shook hands with another... after that I was gingered out...)
Err, I'm booking with British Airways (assume I can sort out going, should get it done by the end of this month... hopefully...) their flight was £530 or so i think Return, direct flight, it's not fantastic, but I don't want to hassle with a stop off, even if it does save money, though one of my friends is taking a detour to Detroit before getting on another plane to Seattle.
I'd love to get together with more Brits once there... If you get on the same flight as me, I'll be the guy wearing the Orange Ginger Appreciation tshirt on the flight, i also have a beard and glasses to further pinpoint my existance, so feel free to say hi! (if you want to take the risk of talking to the wrong person, but... lets face it, who wears orange?! :P) I am bringing one, maybe three friends with me. I just wonder if I'll be on the PAX 07 dvd in the line (was near the very front) calling out in an over the top british 'tea and crumpets' accent... Jolly good show!
cheaptickets.com m8 they charge in US dollars but the flights are insanely cheap if you want to fly out of LHR then you can get tickets as cheap as $865 after taxes and fees, plus thats a non-stop flight. so you are looking at about £450 if you book now on cheaptickets.com.........
on a personal note i have used cheap tickets for almost all my flights in and out of england and im always pleased, they send you an email with your flight info promptly and you can request specific seats sometimes... and to check for good seats go to http://www.seatguru.com/ and look up the type of airplane you are going to be in (in the email cheaptickets sends) it will give you a wicked look into how good your seat will be so that you can prepare for the journey...
good luck, and PM me if you need an assist.
Try www.statravel.co.uk -
They do discounts for under 26/Students and sometimes get special rates from the airlines for these groups. You could do a lot worse than give them a ring or check the website to see what they offer.
Get the PAX 2008 Countdown widget and while away your sad, pathetic life watching it tick down the hours to PAX '08!

you count yes... but only if you support arsenal C'MON YOU GOONERS! sorry, had to do it. but for reelz, you count, also , should i make a new thread for the brit party plans, or just keep it on this thread.... another question is should we allow the prison colonials to come, they are still part of the commonwealth so i say we let them come.... as long as no one brings that rhino piss called fosters.
Under that logic don't you have to invite the Canadians as well? ;-)
Edit: I am probably the least British British person you will ever meet. I don't like soccer, I'm not that fond of tea, and I have seldom worn a monocle (I may have to buy a new one especially for this trip, though). When I was into soccer (which was when I was 8 year old) I was an Arsenal fan. I had the kit and everything.
ye im also interested mate. ive got a freind whos coming and we all live london.
i will contact you later for details.
Wish I was going, too, Take some Lady Grey tea with you!

It's a good thing I don't like Peanut Butter Twixes, then. Still, I can buy them at the Employee Center here at work, should my tastebuds ever go on holiday.
Sounds like a good idea. There should be some kind of collective who are heading to PAX from The Big Smoke AKA London or indeed the UK in general. Lets try to maintain an active thread here and organise something closer to the time.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
We should totally go. We could buy twixs, and sell paintings at PAX to pay for our flights.
