Anyone up for an exchange circle at PAX Unplugged (Bottles 'o beer, pint glasses, brewery souvenirs in general)?

Not only would swapping beers be fun, but sharing some as well! It'd be great to get a PAX Unplugged bottleshare together at a nearby BYO or somewhere similar.
Same here!
If we're doing a straight-up bottle exchange, with no drinking involved, I suggest we could post our ISO (in search of) and FT (for trade) lists right here in the thread (or make a new, "official" thread or Google Sheet). That way people are only lugging around bottles and glassware they know they're going to trade at the con.
If we're trying to have a bottle share, I think we need to get a time frame and head-count so we can scope out a BYOB we can gather at (or, if someone wants to host a bottle share at their hotel room, all the better).
There are tons of great BYOB spots in China Town, just a few blocks away.
Three Floyds is only available in five states: IN, IL, OH, WI and KY. They are always a great choice to bring to a bottle exchange outside of the midwest.
Well hot damn! Guess I'm gonna be bringing some bottles/cans to Philly!
I got a response once everyone was back from PAX Aus (seems to be from Reed Pop Customer Service) we'll have to meet up off site as there is no booze on premises.
If we have to meet off-site for it, if we plan it for an hour that's not a common eating hour (say, 3 PM), we could try to meet at the back area of Reading Terminal right across the street. It won't be as busy off-hours, so near the tables all the way in the back might work, depending on how many people are going to be involved in this.
If it's too many people for that or we don't want to risk it being very crowded even though it's off-hours (which is entirely possible around there), then it gets a bit dicier. I wouldn't recommend outside because either bad weather could put a damper on things and while there's a covered area right outside of the convention, it's a normal hangout for the homeless and, well, smells pretty bad. I can't really think of anywhere else right there which is safe from weather AND friendly to people bringing even closed bottles of booze.

Here's a form.
Here are the results
The common response are that a location serves or doesn't allow outside beverages on site, or that we would need to reserve a party room for a fee or a minimum food order for the party.
I think that all depends on how many people you have. My best suggestion is to conduct it at a BYOB (they're not going to hassle you for outside beverages, whether they're open or not). But if you have 6+ people, you'd likely need a reservation. I wouldn't even bother mentioning you're doing a bottle exchange -- as long as you're eating there, they're happy.

Failing that, I'm still planning on grabbing a beer or three this weekend. Prohibition Taproom is one of my favorite spots -- just few blocks north.

HUZZAH!
Hilariously, I'll not be able to make it, I need to be at the airport about when it starts XD
I want to make sure that we actually have some people bringing some home brew with them. If you are interested, please let me know and I'll get you the details.
Also looking to defray some of the cost of this (I'm out of pocket at the moment), so if you feel moved to kick in $10-$20, I wouldn't say no
