My wife and I were curious to see if anyone else at PAX was planning to celebrate the holiday, and if anyone was planning to hold a seder at PAX. Could be fun!

I'm personally trying to figure out which one I'll be skipping in order to advance my PAX fun. It'll probably be the 2nd seder, only because I really wanna go to the saturday night concert.

Dont forget Boston University, Boston College, Emerson College, Northeastern University, Suffolk University, Tufts University, Brandeis University..etc etc. Those are the schools I KNOW have Hillel on campus but there's bound to be a few more.

I think something like that would be pretty cool if it could be practically done.
Most hotel rooms have Mini-fridges, so you could make some of the stuff ahead of time, like the Charoset, roasted eggs, and herbs. You could also look into Kosher markets in Boston (it's a large city, I'm sure there is some place you can go for it) for the rest of it.
I'd be up for something, as long as we didn't have to go far from BCEC, i have a room at the Westin where I would definitely be willing to host it. The only potential issue I'm seeing is how we get the stuff. I don't know how close you all are or how you are getting there, but I am flying so I can't take any food. However, I also am coming up Thursday so if I have a mini-fridge which I should we can store things there Thursday.
Also, I don't know if any of you are planning to keep it, but for those of you who are maybe we could also figure out some food places where we can find kosher for passover friendly meals.
I agree - I don't want to go to a Hillel, because I don't want to go to far from the center. I am taking the Sonic Line in, so I can make some stuff ahead of time. We should create a list of what we need and divvy it up among everyone. Maybe a brave soul will venture out to get some fresh brisket? Otherwise, I am sure we can all pitch in for dinner.
@nevermore, I'm planning on trying to stay Passover-friendly, but I am going with a group of mostly non-Jews, so I am not going to be super strict about it. I bet we will find a bunch of Kosher friendly options when we are looking for places to get food from!
I'd maybe be up for a mini-seder on Friday night. "Nerdy-PAX-seder" would certainly be a cool change of pace from my family's usual "stuffy-old-school" seder. Nice of you to offer to host, nevermore! I'm staying in the Seaport so I could easily pop over to the Westin. Also, I make some bangin charoset if I do say so myself (Great-grandma's recipe - to give props where props are due!).

I don't think that you will be able to bring alcohol into the convention center. In one of the hotel rooms should be fine, but you cay not be allowed to carry it all day before/after.
my gf and her cousin are jewish and may be in for this. i'll pass this on to them. sounds like a great idea.
anyway...
I just discovered this thread and I have to admit that it's a FANTASTIC idea! For what it's worth, I usually make charosets for my buddy's seder. i can also read hebrew if that helps.
so, that being said, if you peoples really are doing this I'd love to throw in, and I can bring homemade charosets at least (it keeps well, and I'm bussing from NYC).
if anyone could PM or e-mail me any details as they become available (IF they become available?) that'd be great. my e-mail is my forum name at gmail.
...and umm...we could still make the Protomen if we did this, right?
I'm no longer able, so please count me out. Not sure about others who have commented.

The problem we are encountering is that on Saturday night my brother's wife doesn't have a pass to get into the convention center. (And we had a couple of friends we wanted to join us.) So either we get special permission for people to come into the cafeteria without doing the rest of PAX or find an open cafeteria like space that is close to the convention center.
Message me if you are interested in joining/coordinating!
I would be interested in joining for a bit, if it wouldn't be considered rude for me to disappear off to the concert lines at some point. Don't want to be disruptive to anyone or bum too much off anyone's food.
that's good stuff!
I was really eager to do this and even PMed people but it seemed like the whole thing got bailed on. As it stands I've built plans for these Friday hours. Sucks because I thought this was a great idea (and I would've gladly brought my famous homemade charosets).
So then, have fun guys. If I'm in the area at the time maybe I'll pass through just to say hi? And I'm not bilingual but I'm phonetically literate in Hebrew characters.
It's really too bad...but I'll probably stop by en route to my next thing all the same.
Chag sameach!
