With my last desperate grasp for internets, I secured myself a connection at Heathrow airport while waiting for my flight. What this means is that I can finally upload some photos (couldn't do so from my hotel).
Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite photos, it was taken the first day I got to Seattle after I ran into Wardrox, Tazar and Pheonix Blood completely by accident. The camera is propped up on a bunch of bags. From left to right: FooLiz, Riser Glen, SuffoCat, In the back is Tazarthayoot, Droobies is in front of Tazar, Droobies girl is in front of Droobies, Myself, Pheonix Blood, Wardrox, Nintendoll and Asian Joe AKA The Incredible Edible Egg.
I got a bunch of people to sign my laptop. It all started with Niero and snowballed from there. The one signature in particular that is sorely missing is Mr. Chad "Dolphin King" Concelmo's :( I'm also looking for a way to keep the signatures from getting wiped off, right now I'm just being extra careful when handling my laptop.
Really don't think that I've gotta explain this one. That's Macca on the left there being awesome sauce all over the place.
Tazar is BAAAAAALLIN! That's that Cri-STAHL right there.
The first night I met Dyson, we were both at this bar getting wasted, and I wanted to get him to sign something, but the only thing I had were some off-sale beers that we were totally not drinking in the bar because that's totally not allowed...
Anyways, I got him to sign my beer, and here it is in all of its glory!
Droobies is just a cooler person than you are, and this picture proves it.
The man train that formed the first night that the entire group met up.
Ceark picking up SuffoCat so that he can take him back to his hotel room and sexually ravage him. Note the massive amount of swag that SuffoCat managed to grab.
Nick, Niero and CTZ. The all star lineup stops by and says hi to all the drunk Dtoiders below.
DJ Duffy, Necros, FooLiz and Kryptinite serve up a quintuple order of hawtness.
Dear editors,
Front page this image right now.
That is all :)
I could use a picture of this scene that's technically "better", but in this one you can see the tears starting to well up in Niero and Rio's eyes. This was taken on the last night of PAX just before things were starting to wind down.
I just fucking love this picture. Tazar (right) and DVDesign (left) move in while Pheonix is distracted...
Probably the best picture of Dyson that I've seen so far.
These are pictures taken of "the survivors" that left Tuesday night. The brave men (Asian Joe, whom is not pictured, ScottyG, Tazar and myself) and women (Wardrox and Pheonix) that made it through PAX and decided that they weren't done yet. These were taken at the hotel just before our bus came to pick us up.
Well that pretty much does it for me. Some of these are my pictures and some of them are FooLiz's, hopefully I didn't step on her toes by posting some.
Forgive me Liz? :)
For a recap of some of my thoughts on some of the community members, check my last blog. Who knows? Maybe I mention YOU! Maybe it's something scathing! Maybe I shooped a picture of me peeing on your grandmothers grave or something! Maybe I did pee on your grandmothers grave! You won't know unless you read it.
As always, thanks for reading my ramblings, and I'll be back on Destructoid in a few short months.
Random quote... EXECUTE!

It was an honor to sign your laptop my friend. AN HONOR
I second what Butmac said. And yes, I really did do them.
Bye GHost! I'll miss you while you're away. =(
Bye! Have a fun and safe stay. See you soon!
hey my fellow Canadian, I miss you! We'll have to hang out soon and have a local narp or something :)
I totally forgot about that picture of me double-fisting the tallboys in the hobo-koozies (paper bags are a natural insulator). Miss ya Ghost!
Ghost!! You are awesome brotha.... Be careful out there in Africa, and say hi to Lemon if you run into him!
Pile of girl purses ftw!
As stated previously, best hotel roommate ever. You better keep us updated on how Africa is going. I don't care if the nearest Internet connection is 150 miles away.
Glad you all had an awesome time, droobies that is still so disgusting!
BTW CC you know Lemon has been back for like over a month now right?
Lovely pics GHost. Too bad I couldn't come.
Fuck Europe.
Eh GHost, what airline did you take to Seattle?
All these pictures just make me miss everyone more.
Good stuff Ghost. Next year we shall meet in person my friend.
If anyone didn't know already, GHOST IS FUCKING AWESOME IRL!!!!
It awesome and hell meeting you man.
You're my rock and roll fantasy, ghost.
I used a fixative to protect niero's signature on my DS. It works great. Just find a fixative that has a finish you like (whether it's shiny or matte), careuflly tape everything else off with artist or painters tape (especially any electronic or ventilation holes) and spray one or two even coats. you should have no worries about wipe offs after that.
