PAX East Area Meetup Head Count

[Cordovan]

Hello! I am sorry to report that my initial plans for the combined DDO and LOTRO PAX East meetup have met an unfortunate fate, and I am working to get a new meetup plan put together. In order to do that, I need an estimated head count from people here who plan to be in the area for PAX East and are interested in stopping by a meetup to hang out, chat, and perhaps pick up a bit of swag. My goal is to have it in a place where families could attend, but we'll see what happens.

The plan is to have the meetup around 7-8pm-ish on Friday, March 29th. BUT: I am putting up a poll just in case Thursday night actually works better for a majority of people. Let me know!

From you: I need a head count. You + ???

man.... that's a 16 hour drive

I really wish I could, but unless it takes place at PAX Aus, I'm limited by a planet being in the way.

You might get a huge turnout if you turn the games off and let people know where to find you.

All jokes aside that is a horrible weekend for me at least. Saturday night would be best (75%), Friday is at best a 25% chance, Thursday is 0%. Work is a much better hourly rate then the 2+ hour drive. Hard to turn down swag, being how well I made out last time I went to PAX.

Move the weekend and just have a random meetup might have better results. At least it would from my end.

Depends on the day/time. We might be around.

[Braxion]

I am available at that time and I'd stop by if you get something together.

Depending on exact timing/location, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to attend.

Just a shout out for Pax South next year(2020), standing stone please be there!

Good News: I've been able to find a place that is willing to accommodate up to thirty people, serves alcohol for those who wish it, food for everyone, and is a restaurant so families can attend.

Bad(?) News: They cannot do Friday, March 29th. Instead, they can do 7:00pm Thursday, March 28th. Since PAX East is four days this year, does that severely impact people's plans? Let me know if this is a no-go for you.

[ChrisTOTG]

Sounds good. How do we find out more?

[Cordovan]

HEADS UP: I now have as many RSVPs as there are seats available, so I can't accept further RSVPs. If you sent me one prior to 3:16pm today you (and your guest/s if applicable) are confirmed.

PAX = Penny Arcade eXpo. Perhaps you've heard of their webcomic?
