Greetings!

It's time to start planning our invasion of PAX East. If you plan on attending please post here. I need to get a head count to see how many of you I can get into some of the events. Here's some information.

What is PAX East?

In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows… so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.

Since then, the show hasn’t looked back. Doubling in size each year until venue capacities were reached, in 2010 the show expanded into Boston for PAX East, drawing tens of thousands of attendees in the inaugural year. The shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America!

Registration: http://east.paxsite.com/registration

When is PAX East?

FRIDAY 3/22
HOURS 10AM-2AM

SATURDAY 3/23
HOURS 10AM-2AM

Where is PAX East?

PAX East takes place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC), which is conveniently located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts.

Boston Convention & Exhibition Center

Unfortunately there arent many gaming conferences in canada. I find without a bigger reason get togethers are quite difficult to get people to show up.

Brother in-law talked me into going this year. Will only be there for Sunday though, so no meet and greet for me. Would be fun to spot some Gaiscioch. -Drak

My husband and I just acquired some 3-Day passes, I think. A friend was going to go but no longer can, so when her passes come in we're buying them from her. However, he works on Friday, so we'll probably only be going Saturday and Sunday. If there are any meet ups for those days, count us in (Hopefully people will actually know who I am by that point)!

Would anyone like to take lead on the event night at the pub? I can give you a graphic you can print and set out at the table if nobody has a Gaiscioch Shirt handy :).

PAX events are something you have to jump on as soon as tickets are available, if you want 3-day or weekend tickets. I am semi-camping PAX Prime, I believe PAX Prime usually goes on sale in mid-March to early April. For PAX East, I think they started sales before Christmas.

I'd love to take the lead on this but I'd like some confirmation that at least a few people would attend. And just to be clear, you don't need PAX passes on Friday to do a meet and greet! This would be held at a public restaurant in Boston. So if you're around Boston that weekend I figure it'd still be ok to come out if you wanted. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. There's a D&D dinner that night as well that I'd go to if no one will show up with Gaiscioch.

Bostons only 90 min from my house so I could make an evening of it. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to attend the Gaiscioch Meet-and-Greet. I'll know as we get closer to the date.

I will be attending the meet & greet, as well as the event, though primarily Sunday. I don't mind taking the lead if no one else has already. Sorry I didn't post my interest earlier; I was considering different vacation plans during this time that my friend also had off. Live in Boston so no problem for me even if no one else shows up, though I doubt that will happen. Thanks for the in at the ESO booth, Fog!! (Did someone already contact the pub to schedule an event?)

@Saralandrielle, No I have not contacted the pub yet. In my experience reserving space usually is almost always bad. There may be 25% of those that say they will show up that actually show up. It's a bar so seating tends to be self seating. The key is getting some way for people to recognize the rest of you. A Gaiscioch shirt or sign makes a huge help.

The wife and I will be heading up to Boston for PAX East. We could only get tickets for the Friday portion of the show, but we will be driving up Thursday and coming back Sunday. We plan on going to the M.J. O'Connar's Irish Pub event on Friday as well, but will be more than happy to meet up with fellow family members any time.

For those wanting to see a little of Boston while you are here I have a couple of suggestions. 1.) Download a free app (available for both apple and droids) called "OpenMBTA" It has the schedules of all the different modes of transportation (Subway, Bus, Commuter Rail, and Boats), shows you where the stops are, and when the next vehicle will arrive at the station you are looking at. 2.) A hidden treasure. There is an observation deck on the 14th floor of Independence Wharf that gives a nice view of part of South Boston and also the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the swarth of green that cuts through Boston replacing the old elevated roads). Independence Wharf is located at 470 Atlantic Ave. The observation deck is open free of charge seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can see Logan Airport, the Harbor Islands, Boston?s Innovation District, and the Blue Hills Reservation. You will have to sign in and show identification at the reception desk. We have taken a stroller up to the deck with no problem. If anyone has any questions about the above or about anything else that I might help with, (I live 22 miles South of Boston), please feel free to ask and I will help if I can.

-2 Crud. I've been outvoted. I guess when you plan everything else the wife has to get her say) She's all about this DnD Dinner that night so I think we'll be headed that direction on Friday. I may come a bit early to have a beer or two before we head over to the DnD thing. It's at 8pm and it's only 10mins away.

Ulrist and I could not go to PAX East. We are locals and can make the meet & greet. EDIT: Unfortunately Ulrist has to work late tonight, and I am unable to get around on my own well due to disability, so the timing is cutting very close for us. We will try to make it to the meet & greet, but time may not be on our side.

The people already at PAX probably aren't going to read this, but if people want, we can all post our schedules (the panels we want to attend, down time, etc) so maybe guildies can meet up not at the official meeting time? You can probably find Kiraine and I at any panel having to do with video games in education!

Gaiscioch missed connection I was in green and black You were close yet elusive Seating was sparse and kept us apart I showed up at MJ OConnor's.. didn't realize the place was connected to the convention center. It was packed, place was full, put down for seating just for 2 (figured we'd add chairs and be annoying) but it was 90 min wait. I asked every large group if they were from Gaiscioch, so much so wait staff asked if I was selling something lol Checked close proximity Birch Bar too, though couldn't connect with anyone by 8 30 so went on with my night =/ I tried to log in to the site and recommend we just meet at Birch Bar or that I was out front the side entrance (which was the restaurant part), but couldn't do log in from my phone. I still can't log in from my phone to the site; not sure why, even with wifi connection. iphone4 Anyway, hope to see people at party tonight if they go @ytesia The one event I can say for certain I'll be at is Pac man ce tourny 1pm sunday. I'd like to go to education games don't have to be junk @ 5pm sunday, but not sure if i'll still be sticking around that late on last day

Saralandrielle - My wife and I also wandered through O'Conner's trying to make a connection. Got a lot of blank stares and a few "someone else was also asking the same questions". Ended up just eating a meal and calling it a night. I will say that with all the gamers walking around the areas, I really felt safe.
