Anyone going to arrive in the afternoon on Thursday? I will be free for the entire day and looking for people to hang out, outside of the indie game party that evening.
I need to look through the events list with more detail, but so-far pretty meh.
I agree, I am now not fooled into the fool's gold of the panel selection. The majority of them are you need to be X fan to enjoy this to hey we are going to talk about something so let's open it up to questions and not present anything.

Yeap. I love PAX, but most PAX panels are pretty crap. If the presenters open up to questions within the first five minutes, it's game over.
Nuri, I'm doing online shopping now. I was paying down my store credit card. I blame and love you. It's ok though, because the original $60 pants are on sale for $20. So it's all gravy.
There are fine suit shops in Charleston. I think I might go to one of them and just look the oldest man in the business square in the eye and say "Sir, I need the finest suit you have."

You would think that of all places PAX could demand some QC to the panels to ensure none of them suck. Sure as a presenter it would require a lot more time and effort, but PAX can simply use their clout to go and ensure all the BS panels are gone.

I'm extra meh on all the "indy game", "dev", and "job" panels. First there's an issue of having way too many of them. Then when talking about those subjects you have to realize what you can do with a crowd of anonymous (mostly under informed) people in only an hour.

Just remember, it's not saving money if you're buying something you wouldn't have bought otherwise, even if it IS on sale. :P
I think instead of hat, I may just knit/crochet a cute headband to match my top.
Um, KNIT A FEDORA.
I have BIG head, hats don't look good on me unless it's a slouchy beanie hat. I already have my outfit picked out from online and the store is holding it for me.
@Nuri, I really do need dressy clothes just in case I get another job I applied for.

Challenge accepted. You now have me trying to think of a way to get fedora structure with knitting. If I pull that off, I will sell all the patterns ever.

Would a naalbound item be a little more rigid? I'm thinking of Aoife's socks - they seem to retain their shape very well.
Or you could use spray starch or something like that.

So:
Button-down shirt, preferably single color
Tie
Pants
Jacket
Does that sound good? I'll probably go suit shopping this weekend. It might end up being a linen or seersucker suit.
But I lack a suitable hat. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
EDIT: Option 2 is to dress up like a Viking. I have a suitable hat for that.
You all are going to force me to lug my suit up to Boston aren't you?
I'm going to need to ask my shift manager whether I can get away with wearing a suit on shift. Or find some way to change very quickly.
I kind of want a pinstripe fedora now.
Scratch the top hat. I haven't got the stuff to pull that off. A monocle and cane are the bare minimum.

I am also going to bring my walking stick. I lost my old one last year at a cafe in K-Town, but I think the new one is a fine improvement.
