    So many people doing PAX solo. Same here.

    Either way, the MMT sounds awesome.

    Since the average purchase is only for 1.4 tickets (according to an official PAX statement), I imagine a lot of people go to PAX on their own. It's a great place to meet new people and most are friendly. Just say, "Hi". :)

    You're never alone at PAX. Sometimes you just choose not to chill with your 25,000 friends.

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    PAX is more then friends. When your there it's family. "Welcome Home."

    Except with video games and I can stay for 4 days without people saying; "It's 1 am you have to leave sir." Cause they kick you out of Olive Garden before that.

    Hi folks, another first time PAXer here. Planed to play tourist during two days before PAX all by myself and then I found this thread.
    Will be happy to join the MMT and meet some cool people. :)

    Would really like to see the Chihuly garden, EMP/sci-fi exibition, science pacific center and it's butterfly garden in particular. Oh and who can say no to a chocolate factory tour...

    Maybe the voting is already over, but no matter. Punzie's list includes a lot of other interesting options. I'm sure this tour will be fun.

    Yea, I've "solo'd" every time I've been to PAX, and even if you come to pax by yourself, you are never alone.

    I'll be coming in late Wed. so will probably try to meet up with the MMT on Thursday. I got about a half day with the East group last year and had a ton of fun. Despite going to some really cool places, I think my favorite was the random Harlem shake in the Subway station on our way to the brewery [someone, I forget who, was trying to take out picture and made the mistake of saying "Hold still!"]

    You guys may have already discovered this, but I just found a retro Barcade in Fremont called Add-a-Ball. They're in the basement behind a head shop with the entrance in the alley. Tiny bar, and 3 rooms of pinball and classic arcade games. Pretty sweet!

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Getting my butt in gear and doing some work on this. I've started checking all the info on places already on the list (done through MOHAI) and after that I can start looking at the suggestions people have made and adding new links to the list of potentials.

    Hey, can I add one more suggestion to the list? Old Ballard Liquor Co. - it's a distillery near Fremont, run by a PAXer. There will probably be some sort of PAX-centric specials or activities going on there during Labor Day Weekend.

    I've heard of that, and I bet it will be pretty awesome ;)

    Once again, I will probably miss most of the MMT. But I'd just like to say, @punzie is a class act and a dang hero for organizing and herding us every year. Hooray!

    I edited the list some more. Rechecked the details of everything through Seattle Harbor Tour and added the free walking tours. My Internet time is very limited lately, but I really want to have voting up in about a week (which will give only about a week of time to vote).

    I went on the 2012 MMT at Pax East! I would love to go on another one in Seattle. I thought the duck tours looked fun from PATV's Strip Search. Getting very excited about PAX.

  • ZeouterlimitsZeouterlimits Registered User new member
    Oh wow, the MMT sounds great. 2 friends and I would love to join in.

  • jjjewelsjjjewels TorontoRegistered User regular
    Excited to see the big reveal on events for this. We're free all Thursday until the PAX dinner!

  • ifra88ifra88 CanadaRegistered User regular
    I hope you save some awesome tours for Thursday as well, we don't get in until Wednesday night =( so we'll end up missing Wednesday MMT.

    Finished updating the info on things that were already on the list. Looks like The Sky High Sports in/near Seattle is gone now.
    Now on to adding new things...

    Ok added some things: living computer museum, walking tours, and add-a-ball arcade. I also added the bullitt center but their tours are fully booked until October. I added it to the list just so it's there next year.
    I plan to get voting set up tomorrow after work, but no promises.

    And now a plea for help.
    1. Does anyone know (or can find out) about tours of the google offices? I keep trying to google it and it doesn't work out well.
    2. Any local Seattlite want to lead our lovely group from spot to spot? I like having someone to navigate while I hold up the rear and do all the twitter updates and cat-herding.
    3. I want to make buttons for you guys, but I'm super poor. I have a design idea, I'm just asking for someone to order them for me/us.

    Is that the indoor skydiving place? Because there's one near Southcenter (about 30 mins out of town by car).

    It was indoor trampoline park. The website now shows Spokane as the only Washington location. Thanks for the google office info.

    Guys. Guys! I did it! Voting is live: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KsZhwuZifc4YCREI7a6BRn1uhz9UmLr_mwxQlhhO8ZE/viewform
    The info on the form is minimal so you may have to refer back to this thread if you don't know what something is.
    (Also sneakily added Old Ballard Liquor Co to the list.)

    HOORAY! I am so excited for this! We have a huge list of things we want to do while we are there, so hopefully this checks off a lot on our list. Thanks again for organizing.

    Depending on what the highest votes are for we might only be able to hit one or two of them each day depending on length
