Yeah me too. I'm probably be like the oldest guy there and also the nerd funk will probably knock me over. I'll bring some menthol to rub under my nose.
Oh god
I'm used to the high hipster/normal person to nerd ration of D&D... I guess that's not really the case for the rest of PAX though huh?
Man I didn't think we really had any hipsters besides maybe Cel.
I've never really been to a "Con" either though my parents stayed at a hotel where an Anime convention was coincidentally being held and I looked around a little at that. It was seriously disorienting to me.

What my dad wants will cost around $115. What my mom wants will cost around $10. I'll see if I can talk her into another gift, one that's at least worth 10% of my dad's gift's value :P

I can't imagine nerds hanging around a forum for a webcomic devoted to video games.
EDIT: However, I have noticed an astoundingly large number of normal people that hang around D&D. It's breaking my re-conceived notion of the internet on a daily basis.
I don't really venture out of D&D, so I sort of unconciously assume the rest of the boards are similar even though I know that's wrong. G+T SE++ those are all fertile breeding grounds for socially retarded forumers. D and D of course has its own nerds but relatively speaking we're well off.
My boyfriend agrees that guys look cuter in hoodies, santa hats, board shorts, and pajama pants. Funny, everything but the board shorts go together.
In Re: PAX -- I went both years I was living in Bellevue, but I didn't meet anyone either. It's not ideal for just meandering in with your RL friends. I would totally go back if we set up a D&D meetup, though. I've been wanting to see my friends again for some time, too.

Seriously? Parse through the vitriol in the fashion thread. We sure as hell have hipsters around, of varying degrees of course.

A PAX for the east coast would be amazing. Alternatively, the road trip to Seattle would also be amazing.
We threaten to do a NYC/ Boston/ Philly/ DC Pax from time to time but no one really seems to have the space to really host even a relatively small one. Whenever the Boston kids do anything to get together I make an effort to go. I'm alwyas up for meeting fellow Discordians, though I've not had the opportunity to meet more than a few.
My cats generally sleep on the bed part of the night.
My cat doesn't like being on the bed for some reason. I can't quite figure it out, because she likes being on the sofa and other soft cushy surfaces. Though maybe she's just wary of beds in general, because we used to have a waterbed as the only bed in the house, and she freaks out on the waterbed, for obvious reasons.
You have multiple cats? OMG PIX!
Maybe you kick when you sleep.

Here are my cats:
The one on the bed is Apollo and that's where he always sleeps. The one on the bed is Augustus and he likes to nap under the bed which is where he just crawled out from.

There isn't any vitriol in the fashion thread. We're all perfectly civilized people. But god, some people have been posting real embarrassing crap lately.

You forgot about Podly. And MrMister is kinda hipsterish.

It looks like the time around christmas could turn out to be a mini mini - boston PAX.

I don't think so, or my boyfriend would have complained by now. But that's not really an issue. It's like if I pick her up and put her on the bed, she'll desperately try to jump off. I do believe it's because she's scared of beds in general, actually. Probably traumatized from that one time my boyfriend picked her up and tossed her in the middle of the waterbed.
There are tons of nerds at PAX, but the only time they got on my nerves was during the Q&A sessions when some guy with asperger's would get to the microphone and tell a longwinded, awkward story about something that happened in World of Warcraft as background info for his question.

haha, Asperger's. There has never been a more hilarious disease.

Hey Richy, I saw an ad in a flyer for a set of poker chips. 30 bucks for the case, chips, two decks of cards--your basic 500 chip set. Would you like me to grab that for you?
When you guys meet up at PAX do you call everyone by their real names or continue to refer to them by their forum names out of habit?
Forum names, because it's so very much easier, since it's just for a weekend. People from PA who I end up hanging out with regularly I usually call by their real names.

When Shinto and I met fightinfilipino and a few other guys, we all introduced ourselves with our internet names and our real names. fightinfilipino referrred to it as a "retarded Matrix moment" which I thought was awesome.
Anyways, my internet name and real name are about the same. Jeff and Eddy have that going for them as well.
I tried listening to that speech posted up by tycho a while back from the last PAX. The one that was supposed to be so affirming to all geeks. I had to turn it off after like 5 minutes.
I am so tired of the wah poor me persecuted geek bullcrap. If you got picked on in highschool it wasn't because you were a geek, it's because you sucked.

Plastic or clay?
I forget. I know they were 11.5 gram, though. I could send to you, if you'd like.

Isn't there like music or something?
I mean, let's be real. PAX oozes with nerds. But I would still go once for the experience.
EDIT: Will, that had to have been scarring for your parents to walk into something like that.
Maybe you kick when you sleep.

It's all rather boring
Plain coloured skirts/trousers with long-sleeved, plain coloured v-neck (mostly) tops.
They were surprisingly open-minded about it. I was ready to run around shoving people and my parents were all "oh those kids - it's like halloween"
