Niyeaux Posted July 19, 2014 This year's PAX Prime is only a month and a bit away now. I recall there being a pretty sizable Thumbs meetup last year, though I somehow managed to miss it. Are we gonna do that again? Do we have a decent contingent of people attending again this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted July 19, 2014 I organized the meetup last year and completely failed at finding a sufficiently sized space to hold everyone. I won't be going to any PAX this year unfortunately so someone else can ineptly try to organize a meetup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted July 23, 2014 If something goes down, I'd be happy to show up and have a drink or a bite. I'm not much of an organizer these days, it stressed me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted August 7, 2014 The one PAX in the last couple years I can't attend and of course Idle Thumbs is going to be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted August 7, 2014 Wow. Is everyone who sang the new theme song required to show up and form a chorus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimtwo Posted August 7, 2014 There's a Firewatch panel too. I decided to skip Prime this year to go to South. This is awful (for me. It's great if you're going to Prime!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 7, 2014 It would be nice if someone videoed the idlethumbs live cast, whether a reader or more an official thing. Live podcasts always sound kinda screwy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted August 7, 2014 I think Chris said on Twitter that it'll be streamed on Twitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graddy Posted August 7, 2014 Oh good Lord, thumbs panel on Sunday. I was going to skip that day. Now I need to buy a Saturday and a Sunday pass from scalpers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Tholen Posted August 13, 2014 I am going, but I will mostly be at the Devolver booth showing my dumb clown game. I'll try to make a thumbs meetup if you guys nail something down. This will be my first ever large convention of any kind so I'm pretty pumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted August 22, 2014 Nice, I was at the DF party at the hard rock last year and had a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosferatu Posted August 23, 2014 If anyone is coming into town and looking for some fun non-game related activities, there's going to be a couple of killer contra dances on Thursday (28th) and Friday (29th). An outstanding group from Maine will be playing. http://www.perpetuale-motion.com/schedule.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SecretAsianMan Posted August 23, 2014 I was also at the DF party last year. I'm somewhere in this picture. Sucks I can't go this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted August 23, 2014 I'm the thumbs-up in that picture. EDIT: Er, the one in the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted August 31, 2014 I think I see Tim Schafer, in the middle there, reading the tweets he'll get in a year So it sounds like PAX this year has been mostly pleasant? No drama? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted August 31, 2014 . The Giant Bomb PAX panel thing that they posted video of is pretty great and I've been loving the ridiculous Dr. Tracksuit stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted September 2, 2014 That royal rumble thing was ridiculous. Unfortunately, everyone pretty much wanted to be a heel so with all the turns in the middle it ended up with Dave Lang, John Drake, and Dr. Tracksuit all just destroying people as allies for a while before they realized they should probably lose so the main event was better. I really want to get one of those Run GFB shirts though. Edit: And no drama that I'm aware of, plus a pretty cool (if a bit small) diversity lounge thing right in the path of traffic for the 6th floor part of the expo hall. Also, some pretty good new language in the harassment policies, including filling out reports and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted October 31, 2014 So, Americans: how full do the concerts usually get? Because two years in a row PAX Aus hasn't been able to even half-fill the concert venue. Is that normal for PAX, or are they screwing up the concert organisation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted October 31, 2014 I've never gone to one at the actual venue, I usually watch part of it from the video feed they have at the convention center. But they seem to be full. They usually have part of the Omegathon before the concerts which also helps to draw a crowd. Do they do that in Aus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prentice Posted August 17, 2015 Did I miss a 2015 thread? Is anyone planning on being there?I still don't even have the official schedule online -- do they usually wait this late to release it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
