Post-PAX East, Pre- PAX Prime

The above video is Sunday's report, all four videos (each about 2.5 minutes long) can be found on my YouTube channel.

After experiencing the plenty of space and organization of PAX 2009, PAX East had its disappointments. Despite this, I still had a great time meeting people and spending time with friends. I used to think there was nothing I could do for our business at PAX, that it was merely a vacation, but attending PAX East made me realize there's actually a few things I could be doing. Meeting certain people, cosplaying (Momohime gallery here), and being acutely aware of what all the attendees were wearing gave me some ideas. This and my disappointment with PAX East as a convention, made me long for attending PAX Prime, but I am still not sure if I can justify the cost. Oh, not to mention that PAX is my favourite convention out of the 6-7 I attend in a year.

Less than a week after PAX East, pre-registration for PAX Prime went live. It will sell out, and I found myself needing to make a decision significantly faster than I was expecting. I most likely will end up buying a badge, whether I know I'm going or not. There is a special place in my heart for PAX. I love Seattle, I like ending my summer with a bang, I love just being able to talk to anyone, and I have many fond memories of PAX. What to do, what to do...
