I'm down for the party though :P
I'm excited for PAX09. The Rebel.fm panel is going to be off the hook!
I'm gonna call tomorrow
after working all day you arent going to want to hike down there :P
It's really not that bad heading back. It is all down hill. Getting there in the morning is a little more tough as it is up hill, though.
I am going to place a call to GT today and try to arrange a meeting to work out what can be offered this year. Last year we had a kick-ass keg party with my monitor and my Wii to play around with. This year I have a 360 to bring in to the mix, and should have a nice new TV. I think this year we are going to be a bit more prepared.
I dunno, I hiked to the white wolf afterparty and Jaidens house this year after pax, which are both way farther and was fine After only a 6 hour shift, I can easily survive that for a weekend.
I'm just wondering since while I plan on meeting people there I'll technically be travelling as a single woman does this mean I'll need to hope they'll have a woman's dorm open. Are there female only rooms designated permanently or is it based on requested occupancy? Since I imagine there would be far more requests for men-only or co-ed than for 6 or 8 women in the same room. Would they reassign this space then? I don't mind being in a co-ed area, it just looks like unless I make reservations with a group of men and women, that I'd automatically get put into a women's only dorm.
I have no idea if my question is making sense.
Not sure yet.
I'll keep it in mind, for sure.
I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
So if memes make great shirts,
And Pod Six is Jerks,
Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.
It makes sense
I took it as if the reservation is made for men AND women you get the priority in a mixed dorm. You can request it singly, but if you are making the reservation just for you, they will give priority to a mixed gender group and place you in an all womens room if they need the space there.
My best advice would be to talk to your friends and make the reservation as a group
So is this place usually filled with PAX goers? I'd feel sorry for those who aren't.
Yes, it is.

Well count me in as interested I just made a reservation for Recruit and I.
Count me +1, or possibly me +5
this year?
Last year his DS went missing. He ended up getting a new one from the Pink Godzilla booth. I was mystified that someone would take that over all of the things of mine that people left around.
We will make sure to keep it under a well armed guard this year, though. You do have a pair of hand cuffs you can lock your DS to yourself with, right?
You still have more than enough time. Only a handfull of people have reserved space. I don't even have much of a plan myself.
i wouldn't wait. lotsa people couldn't get in last year, and you can always cancel your reservation with no charge if you decide not to stay there later.
Thanks,
Andy

:winky:
I'm not sure if I should be turned on or afraid....
I haven't looked at any PAX stuff in a while, and had thought it was going to be on the last weekend of August like usual. I turn 21 on the 28th of August. T_T
This sucks.
Edit: Oh, yeah, and I might join you guys at the GT. Not sure yet. Have to mope first.
...how?!
It's only a week later and you get to join the parties!
NEW ALBUM OUT, NOW WITH 100% MORE SHEEP!, have a listen will ya
Because the 28th would have been PAX Friday. I still could have gone to everything.
It's better than it being the other way around, though, I guess. I would have really hated it to be a week earlier instead.
