PAX EAST 2016 Meetup thread

[Cordovan]

Hello everyone! If you are heading to the Boston area this weekend for PAX East, or would be interested in driving in/whatever for a casual meetup, this is the thread for ya. I know we have several folks flying in and visiting this weekend, and am planning to have a casual Friday evening meetup along with a Sunday afternoon meetup (essentially, a bit of a post-convention meetup for those around.) I wanted to get a sense from you whether you will be in the area, and whether you would want to hang out?

Additionally, as in years past, if you are a DDO player and are attending PAX, make sure to get in touch with me. I have some swag, and will find some time to hang out and pass it out.

I'd like to meet up, free everyday of pax except for the hours of 3:30-6:30 as I'll be working a booth.

I'm free Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday after noon. But only if we meet up outside the convention...I didn't buy a pass since DDO wasn't officially attending

Yes, this would be outside of the convention center for that and other reasons.

It's last minute for me, but I think I could work something out for Sunday afternoon. I won't drive to Boston, so I would be taking the train to South Station. What timeish for Sunday so I can figure out train tickets and departure time and return trip time?

No exact time has been established, as it depends on what works best for the most people. Just to throw a time out there, maybe something like 1pm Eastern on Sunday?

We are not on the show floor this year.

I am down for Friday night!

I would consider driving over according to Google its less than 4 1/2 hours to Boston a little jealous of my friend he is working at there this year but I think he plays DDO so maybe if I showed up and he had free time he would as well

I will be at pax friday, saturday and sunday. I am returning to the game after 4 years and would really like to pick brains about builds, changes and what is in store for the future!

[Alisonique]

Wont be there (again) so wish you all well, have a blast, and tell us all about it when you get back.
Ever thought about a trip to somewhere in Europe? Just a thought.
BTW fell in love with New England when visited some years back, and Love Boston.

... and other reasons.

The current working thought is a casual Friday early-evening meetup for a few folks who can make that time frame, probably somewhere closer to the office to accommodate most of the participants' driving plans but maybe not. The main meetup would be Sunday afternoon, somewhere near the convention center. My experience is that by then there's quite a few places to hang out, so we may even be able to grab the restaurant-bar near the convention center itself, or we'll find something even better. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

How drunk do people need to get you for you to spill the beans on internal discussions on what's going on with the lag?

Sounds good to me for Sunday. Buying my tickets after work today and I should be there around 11 am.

I'm good with both those dates and will stop by after work

I don't know of any cheap motels any where near the convention center, but there should be quite a few options if you are willing to take a subway ride into the convention zone.
