PAX - A Retrospective (Pt 1)

edited April 2008 in Social Entropy++
I've decided to embark on a little project, a little picture slideshow-esque thing set to music. Kind of like the VanPAX thing Cthulu made, but longer.

I need pictures of all the various PAXes, please label them by year as I want it to go somewhat chronologically. The smaller mini-PAXes are okay for pictures, and I'll use them if I need more space, but what I'm really going for is shit from the real deal - the full on Penny Arcade Expo. They don't all need to be pictures inside the convention. I want pictures of Social Entropy people having fun and chilling out. I want to see Munkus in the tree. Grath with the plastic pirate patch, nerf gun in hand. The pictures of the good times.

So show me what you guys have got. I've got some pics from PAX 05, but I know there's a ton more out there.

Spoiler them in category according to each event, so I can keep track of it all.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Oh, and it'll end up on Youtube, just so you all know.

    If you do end up needing pictures from the mini-PAXes, here's a bunch from an early (maybe the first?) Seattle one:

    Y'know, I don't think there are actually any pictures of me at PAX. I've never seen anyone post one with me in it, anyway.

    Hence the "Seattle" qualifier.

    yeah, besides which the east coast gathering which was thankfully not called a PAX was earlier.

    not the one I first attended, mind you

    I thought PAX being used as a name for a forumer gathering actually predated the PAX convention by a little bit

    The forumer gatherings were called PAX before PAX was.

    What did PAX mean before the expo? Peace?

    it meant let's go out and do something but make it seem more important than it actually is

    and so it persists, to this day

    PAX itself is pretty cool though

    How do you call a gathering of people a "pax?"

    Don't make a lick of sense.

    Please don't dredge this topic in drama. I've been sitting on this idea for a while, and its something I wanted to do to commemorate people getting together, having fun, forming friendships. If you can find fault in that you're a bitter fucking person. Sorry for all the PAX topics. Sorry that people look forward to seeing each other. My advice? Get over it. This is not about the drama, which all too frequently takes center stage.

    Sheesh.

    Anyways, thanks to Geek for his submissions and I hope to see a good many more from everyone whose attended. I'm off to an eight hour shift, search those photobuckets - I know you people have gems lurking amongst your discards.

    Edit: This really isn't the place to discuss whether you agree with the title of "PAX" for forumer hangouts. Shoe, as much as I love you, please don't discuss this in this thread. I know its SE++ and all and I know I can't force anybody to do anything, so I'm asking. Politely, is my intention.

    And I think PAX is a perfectly fine monicker for forumer gatherings.
