    Do we want to do another meet-up again this year? Or just a random "everybody bumps into everybody else" type thing?
    If we do a meetup, let's not do the eating-at-a-restaurant thing. We have exceeded critical seating mass.
    We exceeded it last year, we just didn't realize it.

    We did realize it. That's why we split up. It was coincidental that we ended up going to the same place. :)

    Well, I didn't realize it, but I've never been one to not be oblivious to what's going on around me.

    How would we organize? Geeknights Twitter?

    I'm down for hanging out with people, but organizing a lot of people can be a pain. I'm just going to play everything by ear and just keep in contact with most people via text message or Twitter for hanging outs.

    It was a pretty much a miracle that Gordon Biersch had space to accommodate for us at PAX Prime last year. However, it was totally awesome.

    Weather report still too far away to be trustworthy, but I stared peeking since Thursday has moved into the 5-day forecast. Rain Thursday then nothing but sun and 50 degrees the whole weekend. Would be great it this forecast actually held.

    I need to print out the schedule and figure out what I want to attend.

    So I was looking at local places around the Westin/Convention center. Well I did a tiny bit of research. Am I safe to assume there really aren't any convenience stores/drug stores/grocery stores in a close vicinity of the center?

    Edit: There seem to be a decent number of convenience stores. That'll do.

    What are the convenience stores for?

    Just in case I may need something, but then I forget I am an Enforcer and we have a special secret area that supplies us with pretty much anything i might need from a store and for free.

    Oh right, I keep forgetting about Enforcerland. Does it have a different name at East than West? Enforcer Island? Enforcer palace?

    Convenience. Duh.
    Also booze... Though I do plan on making a substantial purchase at the Harpoon Brewery.

    Fort Awesome.

    That bodega next to Pax Prime has been my go-to source of energy for years now.

    Same name.

    I wonder if they will have a masseuse again. I might actually take advantage of that.

    Since I'm arriving very early on Thursday, I might just drop off my bags at the hotel and make a trek to Trader Joe's. It's only 2 miles from the Westin.

    That sounds like a lot more fun than the super-secret media room. Filled only with free wi-fi and the sound of 15-20 stressed out individuals furiously cranking out posts.

    Edit: I'll be settled in my hotel by 4PM Thursday if anyone wants to meet up for dinner. I'm doing lobby boardgaming at night.

    It is. We get coloring books, crayons, and markers. I have images of what people did to ad-lib the Star Wars coloring books. It was high quality lols.

    Ooh, that's a possibility. I was planning on doing the same thing.

    Oh I have to upload some "artwork" my wife created out of a Star Wars coloring book when we were back in college... Let's just say that at one point she mistook an ash plume and cloud from an exploding volcano to be a tree trunk and foliage. Darth Vader took a walk in the park that day.

    Check out the Conventionalist app if you are on a android phone. I'm not sure if it is available on the iPhone. It has a PAX East guide that is expertly organized. Down to a event list that will automatically populate your calendar from you selections.

    It is also for the iPhone.

    So, looks like I'm taking Bolt Bus there on Thursday evening, and leaving Tuesday morning. Anyone up to getting a late dinner on Thursday night? (I get in at 10:45pm)

    I do believe I'll be on the same bus, so I'm game.
  • RuffasRuffas
    I get in way earlier, but I'd be down for some dining.

    I'll probably eat before the plane, but if there's beer involved I (and possibly Pete and Wyatt) may be interested in an evening stroll.

    I''m meeting an old college friend on Thursday night hopefully..

    Got this funky advertising for PAX party in my email: http://www.icontact-archive.com/OBzL67m2pqplU4CQzysiH90fJLMh1Emo?w=1

    It's for Bethesda's FPS, Brink. You won't find me there though. As a general rule my time is best spent within the walls of PAX.

    Ooh, is it the 6:30pm one?

    Also, I'd definitely be down for food+beer when I get to Boston. Is there a pub with good food nearby?

    Bethesda are only publishing. Also, the famous BLUR studios in LA did quite a lot in the game, in terms of video and Models.

    I just bought a tub of the oatmeal chocolate chip crack cookies to take with me, just in case a Trader Joe's wasn't nearby. :D

    No, Cheryl Beohler, I don't know if you ever really interacted with her, she was one of my good science friends. Kinda a Pinkie Pie character :-p
