PAX BABY!!!
August 28, 2008 |
Today is August 28th and that means that I’m somewhere between sunny Orlando and dreary Seattle. That’s right, I’m leaving on a jet plain for a long weekend in the brittle north west. No, I won’t be enjoying the local grunge scene or partaking in a fine cup of joe, I’ll be getting my geek on at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo!
PAX is a three day conference created by the one and only Penny Arcade, an awesome web comic. It’s going to feature bands, video games, speakers, video games, movies, video games, geeks, and video games. I’m excited.
It's Penny Arcade Expo or Bust!
The official schedule is available on the PAX website and it’s almost mind numbing to try and decipher it all. One session I’ve been looking forward to for awhile, however, is the screening of The Guld with creator and star Felicia Day. That should be pretty cool. Other things that caught my eye were sessions on the history of Harmonix, a screening of the movie The Wizard, and the keynote with the creator of BioShock. One thing’s for sure, the deal will be a lot of fun.
While I’m there I hope to explore a bit of Seattle as well. Considering I’ve never been west of Texas this should be an adventure. I’ll be making PAX updates on Twitter, so follow me if you haven’t already. There probably won’t be a PAX specific post here until sometime next week. We’ll see.
Are you going to PAX? Have you been to Seattle? Leave some “must see and do” things in the comments below.
