To my friends from PAX ...
Chad Concelmo | 1:54 PM on 09.02.2008 54 comments




I apologize for pushing down some most likely very well-written c-blogs in order to write an extremely gay PAX wrap-up that a majority of you won’t even care about.

But all the people I met at PAX are worth it.

I won’t go into the details (there are too many to list), but I just wanted to tell everyone I met/hung out with in PAX that you are all ... amazing. Not just amazing. Like, super dolphintastically amazing.

Honestly, after this weekend, I consider all of you true friends. If you ever need a place to stay, a ride to the airport, a kidney, a designated driver, a shoulder to cry on, a partner for The Amazing Race, let me know. I will always be there for you.

I really don’t think I have the words to express how happy each one of you made me these past few days. My only regret is that I left so early on Sunday and didn’t get a chance to say a proper good-bye to everyone. So, consider this my sappy (and, again, extremely gay) farewell.

I love you all like family. Thanks for being a part of one of the best weekends of my life. <3 <3 <3

You don't read the c-blogs very much, do you, Chad?
blehman's Destructoid Blog
You're amaaaaazing too Chad!!
Hoygeit's Destructoid Blog
You are so awesome. It was great meeting you!
DanGale's Destructoid Blog
I wasn't there. I couldn't see/touch you. However I've a copy of Showgirls here and some Ice-Cream with your name on. London's nice this time of year too. (Well okay, that's a lie, it's fucking raining.)
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
:D you are amazingly incredibly handsomely awesome Chad :3 Thank you for being so amazing this past weekend! Let me know when you want to plan things out, I'll fly out to you! XD and sing Aladdin songs with you :D
randombullseye's Destructoid Blog
Chad you can push my blogs down any day.



Not to sound like a queer or nothing.
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
Watching the expression on your face as you received the gift was absolutely priceless. You truly are an amazing man, Mr. Concelmo.
the Golden Avatar's Destructoid Blog

riomccarthy's Destructoid Blog
Chad. You are even more gorgeous in person @.@ My life is complete now after getting to walk arm-in-arm with you all the way to Pink Godzilla. Even if we don't have any pictures together I will remember this always as the BEST DAY EVER! I love you, Chad <3
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
"A partner for The Amazing Race"

Done and done. Like Golden Avatar, I, too need a partner for The Amazing (or is that AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING?) Race.

No, seriously. It's not only the only reality show I religiously watch, but it's the only one I know I stand a shot of winning.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
Meeting Chad was like getting blown by God.
riomccarthy's Destructoid Blog
Oh I forgot! These pics are for you :P



Yes. We totally found a dolphin wearing a lei on the way back to Ceark's hotel and SHOWGIRLS :D
Butmac's Destructoid Blog

king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Seriously Chad, I must have fapped 12 times with that hand
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
"Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the bread line,
One swing ahead of the sword,
I steal only what I can't afford...
That's everything!"

Best moment at PAX Chad. Thanks for all the awesome memories.
Tiff's Destructoid Blog
loooooveeee youuuuuuuu
naia-the-gamer's Destructoid Blog

Yes. :)
MatCD's Destructoid Blog

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog

Macca's Destructoid Blog
Dude, you guys all made it worthwhile for me to fly out from NZ to meet you. I love you :D

But that's what families are for right? <3 Dtoid Family.
superflossy's Destructoid Blog
omg, i just remembered i meant to show you this!!! here is tim gunn signing my red lobster bib with "make it work!"


The-Excel's Destructoid Blog
Chad, nothing you write is extremely gay. At times borderline gay, maybe, but never any appreciable amount of gay.
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
I didn't go to PAX,

chad doesn't love me.
The GHost's Destructoid Blog
Chad man, there's almost too much love happening here for me to handle. I had to pass the computer around to everyone sitting here at the airport just because if I had held onto it I probably would have turned into a rainbow bunny with hearts for eyes.

I WILL get that signature on my computer one of these days!
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
@superflossy,
Let me add this to the giant list of reasons I already love you. :)
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
@This entire group of beautiful people,
I miss you guys so much. Thanks for being some of the greatest human beings on the planet! :)
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
why did i not meet you chad
DigitalD562's Destructoid Blog
Chad you are amaaazing! I wish you could have stayed around longer, but it was awsome to finally meet you.
nademagnet's Destructoid Blog
Chaaad! I still have to send you that hat.
CrocBox's Destructoid Blog
Like many before me have said, you are freaking amazing and just a joy to be around. I found it very hard to be in anything but a great mood when in your presence, you are just such a happy and enthusiastic guy that it radiates out from you and effects all around you. I love you and hope it isn't too long before we see each other again.
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Seriously, this weekend was too short. I want to do it all over again.
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
I'm with you, Dexter. I hereby am starting a PAX II ... in my apartment. CONFIRMED! Who's coming? :)
nintendoll's Destructoid Blog


This weekend was AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING <3
Macca's Destructoid Blog
It'd cost me a shit ton of money... but I'm in. :D
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
It was great to meet you Chad! 2008 was the best PAX ever! I'll be waiting on the all Disney song podcast with bated breath. Thanks again for the two great pictures! (One with Chad-smile, one without)
Tristero's Destructoid Blog
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

I miss you Chad! Your panel at PAX was amazing. I took your advice to heart about punching an old lady. I love the sweet freedom, now. :)
-D-'s Destructoid Blog
Chad, you're greatness cannot be spoken in words. To experience your bursting into song at the panel was flat-out awesome and one of the best moments of PAX. I look forward to LA NARPs and maybe, if I'm good, you'll take me to your mecca...Souplantation.
