PAX Agenda?

Apologize in advance because I am unfortunately a "new kid" to the site. However out of curiosity, what occurs at a Penny Arcade Exposition event. I have never heard or traveled to an event. The very first opportunity for my knowledge of PAX was an announcement on Bungie.net. So, you can infer that I am interesting in attending a PAX event but I require more information.

PAX is really an event about the people. People who have the best time are just there to hang out and enjoy the gaming mecca around them.
The Omegathon is another story, but it's also random selection of preregistrants, so your chances of getting to participate in that is slim.

If you really want to plan...just soak in as much information as you can between now and when you go, and try to do as many of the community events that you can. There you will meet a lot of veterans who can clue you in on some of the lesser known cool stuff to do.
The only thing that sucks about a PAX experience...is that there is no way you can enjoy it's entirety in one go. There's just too much to do.

It was promptly abandoned. The experience was entirely wonderful.
There's a lot to do at PAX, indeed, I want to do more next year -- but the first, best step, is to simply be at PAX.

yeah, one thing i did manage this year was getting to all the omegathon rounds for the first time ever! also, the penny arcade panels are a given, as well as atleast the saturday night concert. beyond that, you gotta just go with the flow, cuz you might get disappointed if you stray from your plans. oh, and don't put all the events in your phone calendar, just trust me on that one!
The prizes are mostly awarded in point cards, which you then bring to my wonderful Prize Redemption bunker and redeem for prizes. Some things have specific prizes, but most are cards.

I second this statement. The community events made PAX so much more to me. I had a particular blast following Atlus from bar to bar pretty much shutting them down while spells were cast on random passer bys.
Easily the highlight of my PAX '08 experience was the goodbye FEAST we organized on Sunday night at the taphouse.
It was fucking awesome.
Agreed...even though I can't remember a single person I met that night

Oh and Jon and Ollie, after this and Kell's the year before, a post PAX dinner with you guys is tradition as far as I'm concerned. Are either of you going to make it to Mike and Alex's new years party?
He doesn't count as a "that night" meet up...I met him earlier in the day...when I Horsed him

I'm going to be there. I haven't really done anything for New Years for the last six years. So it'll be nice to go out and party. I hear TimeCruiserMike and Augustus going to be there. This should be an awesome party.
Things were so crazy that we never got to have our drink! At least I was able to get the camera your way... but I still owe you a brew! So you BETTER be there this year!
