Thanks!

Do I get a free hat?

Qs23

How do the BYOC people factor into this? Because I never really lined up to get in since I was already in the BYOC when it opened.

parabola

How many hours was the pre-pax dinner?

seraphex

done and done.

Robert Khoo

Hmm, if you were at the BYOC, go ahead and put yourself as lined up then.

It means you are instnatly more awesome than the rest of the herd

chibidani

i has completed the survey.

while i didn't line up to attend the expo, there were many times during the day i lined up for events.

Houn

I gave estimates. Because really, the whole weekend was kind of a blur.

Robert Khoo

understood, houn.

proXimity

Khoo, you need to put the hours of each day up in the survey. People are lame and can't remember them.

mavrick88

Spent way to many hours in the lines before the doors opened.

This is true. Since we all keep asking each other in IRC.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it was:

Fri 2pm - 3am
Sat 10am - 3am
Sun 10am - 6pm

*Edit - It should be worth noting, I think, that the only reason I stood in line on Friday was for the concert wristband. Once acquired, I left the line to do other stuff.

*Edit2 - Times Fixed

I just guessed that's all

ElectricTurtle

I would be willing to take bets that my hours for outside-PAX stuff will be among the highest entered.

The_Reflection

done sir

Atlus Parker

It's easy to remember my time at PAX itself.

...those were the soberest (most sober?) parts of my weekend.

Coldbrew

Houn, the expo closed at 3am Friday and Saturday, other then that you should be spot-on!

Also, I has finished.

Moe Fwacky

Khoo, any estimates on when hotels might possibly be posted?

edit: you should have asked what hotel people stayed at on the survey too, then again, you probably already know

Fixed.

Grooveman23

Done and done.

Is this some kind of survey that will explode the internet if it gets completed enough times? I don't want to be a part of some evil plot.

BrennaCeDria

Done.

Ekkosangen

Survey process completed, awaiting cookie, refusal of cookie.

spydey

done

@ElectricTurtle I dunno, I got out a lot. I didn't sleep at all Saturday. Then again a majority of that time was spent at private parties and other private ventures. The actual community stuff was still a major factor, pretty much my waking moments outside from Wednesday til Sunday night.

Cronus

I was in BYOC too, but I did follow your directions Robert. I'm looking forward to doing that again. I also didn't stand in lines otherwise that often. However that was more us forgetting to do stuff as we would get so caught up in TF2 as to not keep track of the time.

Oh bah, that's not fair! *stomps off to pout somewhere*

MetaverseNomad

I had forgotten all of the awesome Pre-PAX things we did! Like the BBQ! We *have* to do that again this year! And the Mystery Tour......

Oh! And the Dinner, which, ET, I am still happy to help out and/or lend you some A/V stuff!

Those were the official hours, but I recall on both Friday and Saturday night everything kinda shut down at around 1:30 (at least in terms of the freeplay stuff)

I drove down from the north end each day so I had to get out of the 2 union square parking garage before they locked down at midnight (so these 'closing times' mean nothing to me I was home and drunk as a lord by then each time)

iamconfidence

Yeah, I share many of the sentiments already expressed. I spent so much time in awe and feeling like a kid in a mammoth candy store that I really can't clearly piece out time spent in specifics.

Did my best though.

I was entering in all of our pre-PAX goodness too when I re-read the question and realized it was asking about the PAX weekend alone. :P

This is... not a very comprehensive questionnaire. But, I can only trust that there'll be some usable data.

Snickers

Survey = Complete. I agree with Twinkie, there was so many hours of PAX activities that were not included in that weekend!

Queen Brewer

Eh, I counted PAX stuff from Wed/Thu. It added up to 31 hours outside of PAX, and 36 hours in PAX including lines.

Heh, I didn't even bother trying to actually count the hours. I just estimated. The entire time is just a big blur of intense awesome! No way I'd be able to remember times :P

JonnyNero

Mine added up to be 37 hours in PAX, 56 Hours Outer Activities (Go CCST!)

If we were to take that away, it would be more around 8

eye-shuh

I just put in random numbers to be honest. I have no idea how much time I spent on pre-pax, pax, and post-pax...but it was A LOT.

VThornheart

Yeah, it was all a blur for me as well, but I gave estimates.

Upon giving the estimates, I realized that, in fact, I'd spent significantly more time doing pre-PAX activites than PAX itself.

Which is really awesome... it means we have a strong core base of dedicated people who like hanging out with each other at the roots of PAX.

Robert Khoo

k thanks!
