HERE'S THE DETAILS FOR THE FIRST ANNUAL PPPD!
WHEN: Sunday, September 6th, starting at 8:00pm. Goes to 11:00 at least, later if we can spend enough on food and drinks to keep the place open.
WHERE: The Taphouse Bar & Grill. 1506 Sixth Avenue, Seattle Washington, 98101. www.taphousegrill.com. Like a block from PAX. Here's the street view: the glass archway in the background is the convention center where PAX is.

Fresh made sushi and nigiri
Assorted cheeses and crackers
Fresh made hummus platter with pita bread, olives, and roquefort tomatoes

Super Mario Bros. Season 2 (Cartoon, DVD)

*prizes might change.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Sometime during PAX you'll also need to pick up your party packet from me. I'll be hanging out in my hotel room (which is literally next door to PAX) for a few hours on Friday and Saturday night expressly for this purpose, and I'll make myself available on Twitter if you'd like to find me at the expo. The packet will contain your bracelet, raffle tickets, and maybe other stuff. You'll need this to get in, and I strongly encourage everyone to get it before the party. I don't want to spend half the night of the party handing them out.
You should also bring your appetite, any card games or whatever you think might be fun, and your "A" game for consoles and pool.

Like an opening and closing ceremony kinda deal.
Honestly, it depends on the interest. ET has informed me that renting out the hall that they use for the Pre-PAX Dinner isn't realistic unless we have attendance of at least 200 people. I'm not at all opposed to having the Pre and Post dinners in the same place, but it's up to the PAXers. If we get the numbers, it could certainly be a possibility. Like DStalefish said, it would be pretty cool to have the two dinners in the same place.
If we don't get the numbers it will probably be of the latter sort that you mentioned, although I would like to make it a little more official/cool than that.
This thread has been up for less than a day and we're already up to 10 people. There are many days left to PAX, so that number could very well get large enough to warrant reserving the hall. Who knows!

On that note, when the time comes for more planning you should probably coordinate with other post-PAX activities so everything doesn't run together.
This.. otherwise, me too!
I totally appreciate your desire to confirm, though. And there will be a time when you can act on that desire. Oh yes. There will be a time.
