    Yay 21! I shall drag you to some afterparties :)

    Also I was sad we didn't get to hang out more :( 1 weekend is not enough time to meet and do stuff with everyone I wanted to ::pouts::

    I totally want to hang out with you sometime! Your pin is one of the coolest I got! Well.. prettiest anyway. The "Don't Panic" one was awesome. I'm thinking maybe for next year I can make a button that has a towel that says 42 or some such. XD Next year maybe we can traipse (God I think I mangled the spelling of that) around!

    I think I really missed out by not doing the button thing. :(

    Although there really wasn't much time. ;)

    Woot! =)=)

    This coming year I'm going to try and make a new FF button... I have to think about it. I suck at photoshopping (or Paint.NETing, in my case =) ), but if I can pull it off I think I want my button to be General Leo and Edgar Figaro squaring off against Atma Weapon. Got to figure out if it'll fit on the button template without distorting it though. =)

    Maybe you can help me design one, I'm terrible at a lot of computer stuff. That's not the kind of geek I am. Drama, music, art.. tabletop.. board/more traditional card games.. and I like computer/video games, but I'm not that technically savvy, compared to many of the people on here. I can sort of fix computer problems, and I'm definitely better at comp. stuff than most of the people at my job (retail for the lose). Which is kind of pitiful. ^^:

    Yeah, no worries! I can try to help, though admittedly there's probably tons of people here who are way better at art/image manipulation than I am. =) I'll help if I can though, but you may be a bit disappointed with my skills compared to others'. =(

    It's okay, I have no art skills - digital or otherwise. =) I've learned to do some cut-and-paste tricks with Paint.NET, but it's nowhere near the level that a lot of people have with all their Photoshop crazyness. =)

    i think i'll do the button thing next year...how come no one's ever organized some sort of post pax cool down event? like we still hang out an editional 3 days or so...the numbers would be smaller for sure so if you wanted to talk to "yuffie" or "pikachu" you could without the hussle of pax. and for those who want to site see and what not...more time...

    i'm not too sure how the button thing works but i really want to try it out

    also, we do need guys...your not just space heaters

    Most people only take enough time off of work for pax itself.

    I know that I am personaly planing a large-ish (at least 30 people) event for paxers but that wont be for a month or so. Plus I doubt many people will travel for it so it will mostly be locals.

    I suspect this non pax season there will be more epic things popping up.

    Stands to reason that people could get better deals beyond the 3 day weekend. With all the geek clubs and large internet cafés in Seattle, a smart person could figure out something to do.

    This year, the harder time line for most was school, I think. A lot of schools went back on September 2nd, and a large percentage (if not majority) of PAXers attend classes at some level or another. A quick glance at the calendar says that PAX 09 will probably leave an extra day of breathing space before classes head back.

    I need some help tracking this guy down!

    I ran into him after getting eliminated in the Rock Band round. I was all bummed out and he told me that at least I got a cool Omeganaut shirt and got to participate in the Omegathon. He was from Australia and apparently can't enter the contest. I decided that I would give him my Omeganaut shirt since he would never get the chance at it. Dude was overjoyed with happiness, problem is I forgot to get his name and e-mail. Doh! Hopefully, someone will recognize him or maybe he reads the forums.
