Not at PAX, Day 1
SnakeDude4Life | 12:58 PM on 09.05.2009 6 comments


So I'm not at PAX. I coludn't get the money together as I just started a new job. Anyway; PAX Day One;

I woke up at 3:30 am to get ready for work. I wasn't at a hotel, sleeping in my car or staying with friends at PAX.



After seven long boring uneventful hours, I got home. My chihuahua greeted me at the door. I didn't get to play demos of games that aren't out yet, I didn't get to attend any panels, I didn't meet fellow community members. I was home.

I tried to play Team Fortess 2 to keep the thought of PAX off my mind. Unfortunately. a near by thunder storm kept dropping my connection at random intervals. So I watched tv... for a minute. I turned to my DVD collection for a good while. Slither, Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead.

All the while, keeping an eye on my Face Book. Quite a few of my buddies are there. They were at panels, playing unreleased games, mingling with community members and raving on and on about this and that. I shut the computer off after Hot Fuzz.



I fell asleep at about 6 pm. Not from partying, not from walking everywhere and not from lighting some one on fire. Just tried.

Stay tune for more.
