The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
PA has been trying to find a way around it. 07 was successful but I think there was something about broken bottles or somesuch that upset the convention center to prevent it this year. Dont quote me on that though.
With the new show management company taking a lot of the workload off of PA, heres hoping they have time to work on getting a solution for 09.
Meh, I find brawndo delicious. (IT HAS FIVE KINDS OF SUGAR). Its far better than the majority of energy drinks out there. Plus I am kind of sick of bawls at this point :P (mostly due to consuming 24+ cases since pax07 :P)
Aramark has rights over all food/beverages being sold in the convention center.
This is true. I heard it is out of PA's hands because both PA and Bawls want to be together . However, the Convention Center and Aramark are being huge cock blocks and won't allow Bawls to be sold there. I'm not privy to the details, but that's the gist of it. What I did to get around it was buy my own cases of Bawls at Metropolitain Market on Lower Queen Anne and that was good for me. Delicous Bawls were consumed.
Plus, what sounds better: "Mmm, I love Bawls in my mouth" or "I love Brawndo in my mouth"? Seriously, there is so much more fun with Bawls.
Damn Aramark and their evil evil ways.
If they could get Rehab though, that wouldn't be too bad. Another energy drink that tastes pretty good, and one you could make jokes out of. Also, you know it has to be good- it has a fucking warning label on it!

On a taste test, I have to say bawls beats Brawndo hands down for me. While bawls was delicious to drink, when I had brawndo in the expo hall I felt like the taste was something I needed to *recover from* rather than something delicious. Brawndo was something liquid to drink when nothing else was available at the moment, but that's about all I can say about it. =(
Can you arrange to have it delivered to your hotel room?
Yeah, hotels that nice receive packages for their guests. They charge a dollar per pound as a package handling fee, so it would be like $10 but still worth it. I ordered the bawls on Saturday thinking they would ship on Monday and be there at least by Friday. Wednesday rolled around and they still had not shipped, so I had to cancel.
Anyway, just ship it to your name (assuming you are the person registered for the room) at the hotels address and the rest is taken care of.
Or you stay hydrated and energized with a healthy living routine.
I'm just saying.
the best thing about water and gatorade and other drinks that are out there to keep you hydrated... is they're everywhere!!! except mexico... don't drink it there...
What happened to the "It just isn't PAX without Bawls" thread???
Seriously people, Bawls Brigade. I'm sure if everyone who's really into this can contribute and we can buy some cases to "give away" for Child's Play donations, maybe use some of the donations to offset the cost, but I'm pretty sure we could get something together ourselves.
Plus, I've heard many stories about how awesome the Bawls people are, we could probably even work out something with them and get some cases for free.

Bawls is good and so is Brawndo. I would buy either of them if they were for sale. The RockStar that the convention center had is horrible swill.
The RockStar was pretty shitty, but it doesn't have anything on the Full Throttle: Unleaded (i.e. sugar-free Full Throttle). I was forced to get a can after the Friday night concert as every other thing in the damn machine was sold out.
It was a whole new level of craptastic, with a wonderful neutrasweet aftertaste that I could still taste Saturday when I woke up.

If someone has a contact for bawls where we can convince them to set up shop in the Sheraton or Hyatt (rent a meeting room or something) and sell it out of there, please post. I would love to be able to convince bawls to come back.
I think the easiest thing for them to do would be to sell it offsite of the WSCTC but within a block. Easy way around the rules.
Or Bawls could just drive up to the front of the convention center, megaphone in hand, and just start handing the shit out like Monster did. That was epic win, and the new grape Monster flavor was delicious.
Bawls really doesn't taste bad in my opinion. I mean, compared to Brawndo, or Rockstar or the like? Bawls is delicious by comparison.
It might not beat non-energy drinks in flavor, but in its own category I personally like the taste. Got to compare apples to apples and such, you know?

I'm one of the strange ones who drinks Monster and Redbull for the taste, and not some imaginary buzz.
My family is friends with the Vietnamese Restaurant across the street from the convention center, at 9th and Pike (Bambuza).
It's a fine dining place, but I know that they got their start selling street food at various fairs. Perhaps they could set up some sort of booth inside the restaurant for people who with to buy Bawls or Brawndo? I mean, they're licensed to sell food, they're independent of the convention center, and they're right across the street.

It is like drinking pain and loneliness.
Aramark has rights over all food/beverages being sold in the convention center.
and brawndo is delicious.
Ahh I heard wrong then..

Bawls Geek Beer is really good, I don't even have to 'tolerate' the flavor, it tastes like legitimate root beer.
Yeah, hotels that nice receive packages for their guests. They charge a dollar per pound as a package handling fee, so it would be like $10 but still worth it. I ordered the bawls on Saturday thinking they would ship on Monday and be there at least by Friday. Wednesday rolled around and they still had not shipped, so I had to cancel.

They were out, you missed the boat.
