PAX South 2016

This must be a popular event. I checked out the web page and the PAX east is already sold out for April. I'm close enough to Boston that I could just drive there and not worry about hotels. Maybe next year I guess.

If you drive to Boston from the south i.e. from CT/RI its far more easy IMO. You can park outside Boston and take what they call a "train" (which is really a slow ass Trolley) and get to the city in about 60 mins. If you guys ever plan a trip to Boston I can give you more details.

Got my passes today. All setup and ready...

Let's see...

I have my badges:


I have my challenge coins:


I have my custom-made Fallout Vault Boy Backpack:


Now I just need Mondo and Dacoto to get here...

I just have to remember to check into my flight this afternoon.

What are challenge coins?

It is an old tradition from military and various other groups that has been co-opted by conventions.

My dad has a nice collection of General's Coins.

Some background. I have about a dozen challenge coins, mostly from cons, but I do have a couple of military ones.

We will be across the street at the Springhill Suites, and you can message me on Twitter @misfut if you are going to be there and want to try and meet up. I have no idea what Dacoto and Mondo plan to do, but most of my time is seeming to focus on the Tabletop Hall. (I will do the main hall, too, but, it won't be my focus)

(I am bringing my 3DS XL, PSP, and Vita, if someone wants to hook up for a game or Pokemon trade...)

Then, after the Loot Crate panel, and the announcement of the Loot Gaming Box, we were hanging out with one of Loot Crate's founders, and he invited us to their Saturday Night after party. So, we have wristbands for that tomorrow.

Post some pictures here if you can! I'm sure most of us would enjoy a glimpse since we can't be there.
