PAX East (Boston, MA)

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Anyone in New England planning on attending Penny Arcade Expo East in Boston the weekend of the 27th? I will only be attending on Saturday but its looking to be a really good time.

No, but I really wanted to go. No room for any major trips this year. Have fun and let us know how it goes!

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

Got a 3-day pass, but I'm not sure how many I'll be going to, I'll have to take another peek at the schedule. Pretty sure Sunday has like 3 events with Harmonix peeps, so I'll definitely go to at least one of those.

You've never heard of Penny Arcade Expo...

Isn't it like a gamer convention for the gamers by the gamers, or is that a different one... Anyways, I watched it on G4 last year... and I watched the Mcfrontalot concert there on youtube...

It's slowly replacing E3 now that E3 has become a lot more formal.
