Same as well.
Anywho, I am super geared for the train trip. Last time I got on in K-Falls but I really want to go down to LA so I can experience the entire awesomeness that is PAX Train.
I live in Portland so it would be an easy way to get to seattle

Wait....did I meet you at Backspace? At the Rock Band 2 Freeplay?
Did you know there are at least two members of the cookie brigade riding up with you? I realized some of you might not want to wait all the way to Seattle before you start donating to Child's Play. Would anyone want cookies available early and, if so, are there any particular requests?
Basically I'm asking you to bring chocolate.

And now, I'm thinking a gauntlet has been thrown regarding just how much chocolate can be packed into flattish single serving baked goods.
If we eat them on the train we still need to make donations, so that won't make the brigade any less successful.
But it will deprive non-train attendees of nemaihne and my wife's mad baking skillz. Just trying to be fair to everyone here. :P
so bake more than the train goers could possibly eat :P (you may want to consider not packing much else)
other people get to have your delicious cookies, and you get more donations for child's play

I need to play this.
At least this time I'll be on the train when it whistles by my house, when I first moved here, I would always wake up due to the noise, now I don't notice it as much. Expect me when we pass soon after to be shouting random stuff about Chehalis you guys don't care about.
And why does this thread title not have anything about Spirit Tracks in it?
Anyone else besides slactron going to the byoc? Any tips for carrying a pc onto the train?
Oooh, I'd enjoy playing. But my work ethic is remarkably close to Lister's. Are the character sheets pre-made or do we have to make up Dwarf-esque characters?
Long time no see! Nice to see a few names I recognise still on the train. (For anyone on the train in 2007, I was the Brit. Hi.)
Just thought I'd drop in and say I'm totally trying to get to PAX again this year, but the dollar's got all good again which makes stuff hard! I won't be able to get on the train if I do make it, but I'd love to see you all again - I'll see if I can be there when you guys pull in to Seattle.
Hope you're all well!
Sorry about the dollar not keeping pace with the Baht anymore, but if it'll make you feel better we could send you a pig... :P
You are a brave, brave person trying to meet the Coast Starlight- last year it arrived sometime around midnight. You might also try the post PAX dinner that some of the WCTT people are planning to attend as well. Regardless, good luck making the jump across the pond this year!
You make up Dwarf-esque characters. There's a ton of races to choose from, too - Human, Hologram, Cat, Series 3000 Mechanoid, Series 4000 Mechanoid, Hudezen 10 Mechanoid, Dog, Iguana, Kinitawowi, Pleasure GELF, rabbit, Rat/Mouse, Simulant, Vindaloovian GELF, and Wax Droid.
I also have the Series Source Book, which has story outlines for virtually every single character who has ever appeared in the game, as well as game versions of all eight seasons' worth of episodes (and I'm tempted to write my own version of the mission and character stats for the recently aired "Back To Earth").
And I was just about to email you telling you to get your ass over to PAX this year.
If it's just you...well, it surely can't be THAT bad.
It's not definite yet - I currently have about half of the money I need to buy my flight, and that's the only thing I really need to buy soon! I really, really want to be there. A whole bunch of my friends are going so if I don't I'll have to endure their photos and stories about it and that will make me sad
Maccy!
Hope you can make it this year.
You were actually the first PAXgoer I ever met. (First person on the train I talked to, I believe, back in 07.)
Then there was beer before liquor.
And the rest is history...
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.
