axemtitanium Posted April 5, 2016 Anyone coming to Boston for this? I'd love to organize a meetup. With a bunch of Thumbs back on the East Coast (Rob and Danielle, perhaps), I hope we can get a good showing. I'll update the thread when the schedule comes out.

Dinosaursssssss Posted April 5, 2016 I'll be working every day during the show (drop by the Indie Mini Bar and say hi!), but if there's a meet up at night I'd love to grab a drink with folks or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickinthehead Posted April 5, 2016 I'll be attending all three days, would love to get some drinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axemtitanium Posted April 6, 2016 Awesome! I'll definitely be around the indie area and we should do a Thumbs dinner of some sort. The show schedule just got posted on the website and on Guidebook! http://east.paxsite.com/schedule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axemtitanium Posted April 12, 2016 Any interest in drinks on Friday or Saturday, right around when the expo hall closes (6pm)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickinthehead Posted April 14, 2016 I don't have too many plans set in stone yet for PAX, but Friday would work better for me because I want to see VGO at the Saturday Night Concerts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaursssssss Posted April 17, 2016 Alright, now I can say that I'll be in booth #9177 this year, showing my new game Gravity Wolf! Come say hi My plans are still kinda up in the air but I could probably meet up Saturday night, maybe at Tamo across the street(ish)? It's pretty close by but usually not too crowded, and generally some fun folks are kicking around. Friday probably also works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axemtitanium Posted April 19, 2016 Grats on the booth! Maybe we should meet up there on Friday afternoon just before show floor close and see where our plans are at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agorman Posted April 20, 2016 I'm definitely down for drinks/food somewhere! Somewhat relatedly...I've never been to PAX before...does anyone have good recommendations on how to best use my time there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danielle Posted April 20, 2016 Heyyy all! I'll be at PAX East this year, and would love to join you folks if there's a meetup. I used to live in Boston, but it was a little while ago, so if folks have thoughts on venue... (Back when I lived in Chinatown, my bar of choice was the Sweetwater Tavern, which is close to Downtown Crossing on the T. There are probably better/closer places though!) EDIT: wow. It closed last year. I am the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danielle Posted April 20, 2016 And Tamo Saturday night also sounds good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't do this at my first PAX a few years ago (not sure if they had it back then), but this looks promising: http://east.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/pax-orientation RE: Tamo Sounds good! Here's the map link; it's right across from the convention center: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tamo+Bar/@42.3462363,-71.0495148,15z/ The general sentiment seems to be Saturday for dinner and/or drinks (sorry kickinthehead, but concerts don't start until 7:30 and hopefully we'll be done by then)? Does Booth #9177 at around 6pm still work? I've made a GroupMe chat for anyone interested and/or a way to find people if they're running late: https://groupme.com/join_group/21429363/SW9TE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhat relatedly...I've never been to PAX before...does anyone have good recommendations on how to best use my time there? Advice from all my years going to PAX prime... 1) If you're interested in panels, pick one or maybe two a day to go to. More than that, and you'll be spending a lot of time in line and maybe missing the line for one panel because of the other panel you went to 2) The concerts are incredible experiences that I blow off a lot but then kind of regret after. If you have any interest in music, hit at least one. 3) If possible, bring a small portable hiking chair. The smaller and lighter the better. I bought something similar to this: https://www.rei.com/product/896775/mountain-summit-gear-tripod-stool-camp-chair 4) Pack some cereal bars and a bottle of water 5) Don't bother waiting to play any of the triple A demos. With all the open betas and such, you'll be able to play all that stuff other places. 6) But take as much time as you can afford in the indie area. There's tons of stuff there that you'll never hear about if you don't take time to see it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axemtitanium Posted April 23, 2016 Reminder: 6pm at booth #9177 (look for the guy demo'ing Gravity Wolf!) on Saturday! See you there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
