Okay, I just thought of something, I don't know who is up for it, but I think this would be wonderful.
I would like to suggest that people who know about this idea participate. Basically, I want people to high five everyone they see with a hand up for a high five. Walk down the hall, toss up a hand, and count on someone slapping you a high five.
This would be a great way to unify us. See a forumer? High five! Walking through a crowded hall? Fish for a high five.
People need to be able to count on eachother for some camaraderie here, and high fives. Well they are just totally rad.
Make PAX 2007 the year of the High Five!
EDIT: I vote everyone who wants in get an ID t-shirt with your forum name on it. We can then be in the know as to who is safe. If you want to live dangerously, take a risk. Hit up a stranger, most people around are kooky and nice, they might just nail that hand because it's there!

A lot of people who come don't read the forums.
Yeah, but enough people know enough people to make this workable. As long as we have cooperation, this could be grand.
High-five?
Count me in.
Maybe, if I'm good and drunk it'll work.
I'm more friendy and a people person when I'm drunk.
~90+%
-flyers for everyone online explaining that if you see an outstretched hand, high five it. (and whatever other ideas you can fit on the flyer)
-Walk down the line explaining the same
-Take the group of people who said yes here, and run around demanding high fives from everyone until it naturally catches on (or you're declared insane and avoided like the plague)
Basically have your arm up and just yell "HIGH FIVE!" and be excited and people will high five if they're goofy enough. and most people at PAX will.
Did this plenty of times at previous PAX events. You just hold out your arm when you are on the escalator or walking past a line so people going the other way can give you a Hi-5. You do not need to plan out months in advance to hi-5 someone.
Dude, stop being the party pooper. This isn't about some random occurance where you stick out a high five and hope to get nailed. This is about people here joining together with other people in order to plan on being silly and having a good time. We just want to be goofs and slap some skin. More than anything, we are playing around on the forum and making connections. High fives aren't the point. The point is to make friends.
Yeah. We're nerds here. We plan. Especially when it comes to spontaneity.
But so is holding my DS, and swag bag, and money, and the event schedule (and maybe a map??), and my pockets. My hands may be too busy for high fives. Thumb up snaps: I can do. But I don't know if I can commit to high-fives.
No. Bump chests.
Brilliant!
I am short, and female....
No. Just... no.
Oh come on, step up to the challenge. be a man. or...... no, don't be a man, but step up to the challenge.
HIGH FIVE!
I can be a man if you want me to be :winky:
This plan is genius incarnate.
Now THATS a high five!
I am, but I'm trying to find a site that makes custom shirts in black. Because white shirts are evil and get messy too easily.
