Obviously a tabeltop assignment is best, but I would not complain about a theater assignment. The bad assignments, from what I have seen, are console freeplay and handheld lounge.
Make the most of your theater assignment by appropriately theming your theater, as per Unicorn theater at PAX West. They had some rainbow-unicorn-themed imagery and music between the panels that was quite excellent. Also, when the panels are sucky, don't stay in the room. Take the hallway duty so you can talk to people such as fellow enforcers, other people waiting in line, or me.

Why are you giving me advise on how to run panel rooms, I've been doing this stuff longer then you have :-p (not the decorating though). I've worked outside a large amount of crappy panels over the years.
OMG. ScoJo, wear cat ears! Post pictures of Lolcats everywhere.
If all cat theater enforcers have cat ears, and lolcats all over. That is win.
There is an Enforcer known as Catboy. He's been enforcing since the beginning. I'm pretty sure he'll be at PAX East, but I don't know if he's assigned to that theater.
So, I realized today, that oh crap we never found roommates for PAX and my friend is currently at GDC. So I have to try and work and find us some last minute roommates. This worked out surprisingly well last year, we ended up with some pretty cool roommates. I don't have the full details but basically we are staying at the Westin Boston Waterfront which is one of the hotels that is really close to the convention center. We are looking for ideally two roommates. We are two females but guys or girls are fine. If anyone is interested send me a pm.
New PAX news via twitter: the PAX East scarf returns, now monochrome and $20. Also, in a change of plans, concerts WILL be streamed to other areas of the BCEC.
As for a meetup, I'm indifferent. Would be great to meet some of you crazy people and I'm sure it will happen either way. I'll also be meeting some fellow Wired and MDP writers for the first time, so this con looks like internet meetup overload.

Hopefully you'll have cool panels during those times to watch.
You probably have better programing in your theater then I do, I just went over the panels in my room and they generally suck (for me).
Wyatt needs to bust out the manticore from MLP:FIM.
Other theaters are called Naga and Wyvern. Those are definitely better names
Totally decorate the theater like cat planet, complete with little cats everywhere.
Now onto a hotel!
