MAH PEOPLES....
MrJunko | 11:46 AM on 04.18.2008 12 comments


So Ive decided that Im going to PAX this year. Ive also fooled..I mean...intelligently convinced, a few friends to join me. Now since this is my first trip to the promised land of video game conventions, I just wanted to know if anyone has gone before, and have any advice theyd like to give me?

Like which hotel is best to book, is everything within walking distance, do I need to rent a car, how much does a six pack of beer cost in Seattle, should I pack my gat or a switchblade, boxers or briefs, you know the deal.

Also if you guys want to meet up IRL LULZ!!! Hit me up, It would be awesome to hang with some Dtoid peeps at PAX.


Also,

Garbage Day

GARBAGE DAY?!?!?

About Seattle, all I gotta say is go to Pike Place fish market while you're down there. It's just made of awesome and goodies. Wish I could come but money's tight!

So when is this thing going down and when can you buy tickets? I live just south of seattle so it might be a good time.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Well, you know, I thought maybe, just maybe, MrJunko actually wanted the answers to some of those questions he threw out up there. Guess I was mistaken...

...not that king3vbo is a whiny bitch or anything...

Easy way to save money at just about any convention: bring your own food. Buy some granola bars, fruit or whatever at a nearby grocery store and put some in your bag, and eat them instead of spending way too much money for a very unhealthy meal at the convention centre (or nearby fast food place). Probably saved a good $60-$80 doing that when I went to E4All last year. Might not be much when compared to the whole trip, but it's more money to spend on other stuff. ^_^

Oh, and if you rent a car make sure you're already covered for insurance. Found out a little too late that I'm not covered in the US, and the insurance from the rental place cost more than the friggin' rental did. :p

Beer is good here in Seattle. Lots of microbreweries....and if you're lucky I'll let you have some of my homebrew....

There are several hotels within walking distance to the convention center. Check PA's PAX page. The best one to book at this point is anyone that has an available room. The hotel we stayed at last year that we'd booked in June, was full by the end of March.

I didn't really have any issues with food expenses, unless you don't like Subway.

 about me

So this is the part where I pretty much give you a condensed version of who I am, what I like, what I listen to and all that other rubbish.

I like to draw, lots, I like it even more than eating (and living by myself and having to pay rent just goes hand in hand) Beer is awesome, DARK beer, none of this Corona/Miller/Budweiser/Coors piss water the majority of people drink.



Im an old school gamer, and by old school I mean I cashed my grandmas Social security check to buy me an Atari 2600. GANGSTAAAA!!



Oh and Big Poppa Gamers dancing asian chick icon/avatar doesnt help me concentrate on anything.
