    My pre-order badge came in the mail today. The charlie card is a real nice touch and the badges are super high quality.

    Put a picture of the badge, so I can compare to PAX West quality.

    EDIT: I guess twitpic doesn't play nice with hotlinking. I'll host the images back up when I get to my apartment. For now you can go here and here.

    It's the same as PAX West badges.

    Also, it looks like the upper deck of the main theater will be open. That is excellent.

    OH fuck, nobody told me!

    PAX East is trading cards, not buttons.

    I've got a week! Quick, someone make Rym and Scott trading cards. I'll make it worth your while.

    I'm thinking maybe we should have Forumites Four Swords event during the time we ain't going to any panels or whatnot? Also, do you have to be part of staff to put in video game systems in the free-play area?

    FFFFFFUFUUUUUUUUUUUU

    I know a place that prints legit trading cards really cheap, too.

    I just found a bar near the con/hotel that has Delirium Tremens on tap. It's not Mahar's, but it's frickin close.

    Bukowski's Tavern.

    FAIL!!! This is also the home of the Peanut Butter Burger. BOOOO!

    That looks like a good beer snob bar, we can get drunk there.

    good beer snob bar
    Pffft. Mahar's has six casked ales year-round, as well as a larger variety from more countries.

    However, the beer at this establishment looks to be passable. It will suffice.

    I said "good," not "awesome."

    Mahar's is good. The Pump Station is good. That place is acceptable.

    We need to work on your snobbery.

    It's just a bit out of calibration, I'm easily pleased.

    Beer Snobbery made easy:
    Step One: Lower the grade of everything by one degree. Amazing>Great>Good>Won't pass your lips>Pig Swill>Coors Light
    Step Two: Find something NO ONE ELSE ENJOYS, bump it up two degrees, and FUCKING INSIST on only go to bars that serve this beer.
    Step Three: Whenever your tastes are questioned, instantly dismiss the curmudgeon and remind them you are their better.

    Congratulations!!! You've achieved Junior WhaleShark!

    Bukowski's also has 1$ Burger, Dog or French Fry Happy Hour. We should check it out on Friday. Mostly I want some place to take cool people back to when my shit is over. 3AM is going to SUCK! Knowing I'm a block away from a good bar with great beer will help.

    I'm sold.

    If you think it's easy, you're not doing it correctly. It's hard to be this condescending.

    Um, Can you get into the brewery? Aren't you underage?

    To drink beer, yes I am. I've checked the website and I can take the tour as long as I don't consume any beer (which is a-ok with me as I'm not concerned with that right now).

    Ah, cool. Some breweries won't let you in if you're underage, you see, thus why I asked.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    I arrive in Boston at 5AM on Friday. Is anyone else going to be around early Friday morning?
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    I will be sleeping that early on friday morning.

    This, but I'll probably be up in a few hours for the morning Enforcer Table Top shift.

    FYI, if you want to see me I'll be in Table Top every morning from 9AM-3PM, except Sunday. So come by and say hello to Ro!
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    That's how my flights worked out; I'll be sleeping all of Thursday in advance :P
    If no-one intends to do anything earlier, I guess I'll meet people at the brewery; 10AM, is it?
