Posting from PAX/Seattle [chat] and Spontaneous Get-togethers thread
Moe FwackyRight Here, Right NowDrives a BuickModeratorMod Emeritus
People have begun to arrive in Seattle. So if you're posting just to say you've arrived, or you want to find people to hang out with leading up to PAX, during PAX or in the after-hours, this is the place to do it.
This is not a pick up thread, so please don't get creepy. Let's keep this fun for everybody.
So Moe, I heard you're coming into town. I know this great place, we could get to know eachother
I'll be in town Friday and if I can find a hotel around the burbs I may stay over for Saturday. Depends on how much AWESOME creeps into my bloodstream from PAX09.
I live here (well in Belltown, by the Space Needle) and am unemployed! So if anyone wants to come over, play some Castle Crashers or Earth Defense Force or Rock Band (or whatever) then I'd be down I live with my gf and we are both gamers.
Well? im going as a red soldier, and i need someone else so i look not-as-nerdy-as-I-am!

If there is anything I love more, it's a mouthful of hot Dick's. My bro and I stopped by the Broadway location today and it was delicious.
Both of us will be hitting Mt. Rainier tomorrow during the day, but we are looking for evening entertainment. If anyone wants to hook up, drop a line. PM or reply.

Blade buddy! Might you be at the Pre-PAX Dinner on Thursday? I would ever so much like to say hello to you again As for tomorrow evening, my whole day is full up, sadly, or I'd take you up on the offer to hang out for the evening.

So, ask in the cosplay thread. There's no need to make separate threads for every question, especially while the moderators are busy setting up for and/or traveling to PAX.
I made this account on my iPhone just to see if anyone was wandering around aimlessly like myself. I am currently in the international dist. If anyone wants to meet up let me know. I am just bumming around. Can't miss me tall spiked up hair suit jacket and red optimus prime shirt.

well I will be arriving at about 6 in the morning on the 3rd (thursday) and Im pretty much free until 3:00 pm if anyione wants to hang out, grab some lunch, play some magic, or some handhelds whatever. I would really rather hang out with someone then just wander all by myself for like 9 hours you know.

"Dude, I think he's a zombie."
"No he's not, he's dead."
"But he's still walking around."
"Which makes him one of the walking dead."
"Exactly."
"So, he's dead."
"No, that makes him a zombie."

If you are free tonight and want to do something, post to say "Hi" or some ideas of what to do.
Some suggestions:
GameWorks
get a group of people to up to the top of the fucking space needle
That pinball arcade that a guy in another thread suggested
Keep in mind the space needle costs like $25 to go up (unless you are going to the uber-expensive rotating restaurant). Just wanna keep a buncha people from arriving there and being surprised by the cost.
What's up everyone, just got into town. I have yet to taste the hot choice beef that can only be found at Dick's. If there are no other suggestions, we'll be there around 7-ish. Also planning to check out the 1337 geek night in this thread later tonight.
if you're crazy enough tonot have any plans tomorrow, I HIGHLY suggest seeing wicked at paramount theaterat 1pm. get there at 12:00-12:30pm to buy tickets, or at 11:30-12:00am to enter a contest for $25 highest grade seating. Butanyways, this thursday 1pm showing is like half the price of the other showings. like normal purple seats rare usually $80, but this thurs show they're $45ish. Highest grade is $130ish but on this thurs show it's like $65.
I just saw it tonight in the worst seating type/spot possible and it was still amazing and not a bad seat at all. Cheap seats are $28 thurs, $31 normally.

Getting in tonight. Haven't decided when since I'm driving. I've got a 360, 4 controllers and at least one guitar hero old style guitar. Anyone have a room close to pax and want to JAM?! I'm pickin up some booze on the way. (Washington still has drive-thru liquor stores? REALLY?!)
Drop a PM if you're cool with partying with internet folk. Not partying in my room as a first choice since I didn't want to pay more than 50 a night and ended up getting a place at SeaTac.
Does anyone know a good karaoke joint within walking distance? I'm not hugely partial to the pub crawl thing, but I would definitely be up for Karaoke, and of course, any and all PAXers (or non-PAXers for that matter) are welcome to join.
UPDATE: Okay, so I heard from a couple people and it sounds like Ozzie's is the best spot for Karaoke but given the short notice, I think it's best rescheduled. Say Sunday night after the show closes and everyone grabs dinner?
My friend and I just got back from the Experience Music Museum/Sci Fi Museum. It was free from 5:00 to 8:00. IT was pretty good, but I'm still up for something if anyone wants to just hang out.

Or maybe just go out for a beer.

you can join up any house, you just don't get a sccorecard. make a post saying you're going and which house you're joining
