My fear in going to PAX would be that I don't know anybody well enough to have a group to go around with

but I don't have to worry about that, because Seattle is in the corner of the country farthest from me

Man Pooro I didn't even remember that you won the thing.

I vaguely recall hearing that someone here won it. But shit I didn't know it was you.

And you know, being able to recall your surname is just a bit freaky.

Yeah I'd say it makes a lot of sense, K. I mean, I'm always a little worried when I go to PAX when some of the "heavy hitters" from the boards are showing up, partially because I'm easily intimidated (I waited like four minutes at PAX 05 before approaching the SE++ group, boy did I feel awkward) and partially because I don't want to seem like a complete goof.

Man, I get that way too

Do you ever get people geeking out about how you won the omegathon?

I will never, ever mention the Omegathon unsolicited.

But sometimes my buddies mention to somebody that I won a video game tournament. If they ask which one, and they say "The one at PAX," most people go "Oh, cool," and leave it at that.

But a handful of times, people have gone, "Oh, shit. LeRoy?!"

And that is bizarre to me.

I could see how that would be weird.

Being in the banner ad just exacerbated it all, really

Tube wears a hat.

Look for the guy in a hat.

Next year I'm not going to PAX.

I'm pulling a Druhim and showing up for some of the related drinking events, but I'm passing on the con itself.

I don't think I could go at all without bringing a friend along.

I'm honestly terrified of approaching people I haven't met in person before, even moreso than total strangers.

At least, in groups. A single person is less intimidating.

Didn't know Tube. I just said aloud at one point, "I heard Tube is here but pretending not to be Tube." Then he introduced himself to me. I told him he had infracted me that week and I thought it was funny. He told me he---oh shit I agreed not to tell the rest of this story.

And Knob looked nothing like any picture of him I've ever seen on here. I think Agent Vessago or someone said, "That guy over there with the long hair, that's Knob!" when we passed the lobby once. I don't know how he knew what he looked like though.

I have the total opposite problem

It is way harder for me when I'm with someone I do know.

I had way more fun the years I went solo, because I wasn't beholden to hanging out with and looking after my friend.

Also, I got laid more.

Captain K

The night of Cap's show is when I discovered Tube was around, and I was told "he doesn't want to have everybody find out because he's worried it's going to turn his entire weekend into 90 different people asking him 'hey do you remember that time you did _____ on the forum'"

and everybody found out and I'm told that did in fact happen

About 90% of the people there were super friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't even worry about that. There was only one group being all high-school cliquey but whatever. Everyone else was really approachable and easy-going.

I wish I hadn't been so distracted at the time, I was practically on Mars in my head and didn't realize it until later.

PAX does not occur to me as an event at which you could get laid

I'd think you could like, regain your virginity before that happens

Not in our hotel room it didn't. I only heard the forums very briefly discussed.

Tube is great. The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction thread resulted in the best spending of $20 ever.

There is no part in that equation where I have any real say in that matter. It is clearly a matter of happenstance.

Pooro, I joined a film and video, government subsidized thingy here. It's full of people that wear scarves year-round and it was really hard not to fill this question on the application with:

"I joined so we can get free insurance coverage for our movie and rent all of your expensive shit at extremely reduced rates for 12 easy volunteer hours per year and I hate all of you so I hope we won't have to talk too much just rent me your shit."

Instead I put some goddamned lie.

All "I can't wait for the opportunity to have an outlet for my artistic vision, and a program that not only gives me that outlet, but also lets me give back to the community, is an opportunity too good to pass up."
