After a few more work meetings with puppies named Ophelia, I'll be zipping off to SFO with Brother Chow (aka .Harr) and flying over to Seattle for PAX 2009! Please interpret the above video as a visual embodiment of my excitement and karate-fueled-joy.
PAX (aka Penny Arcade Expo) has been one of the most memorable and fun conventions I've attended in the past. Here are some of the panels I'm looking forward too:
FRIDAY- [ 11:30 - 12:30 ] Post-N'Gai, Post-EGM Video Game Journalism, or Where Do We Go Now
- [ 12:00 - 1:00 ] Hey Ash, Whatcha Filmin: How to make a moderately successful viral video series that confuses the hell out of people.
- [ 1:00 - 2:00 ] PAX 2009 Keynote Ron Gilbert (!!!)
- [ 1:00 - 2:30 ] Mega64 Panel
- [ 2:30 - 3:30 ] How do we make online gaming communities suck less?
- [ 5:30 - 6:30 ] Live Taping of CO-OP at PAX!
- [1:00 - 2:00 ] Medium is the: Story Matters
...and more! I will be returning home to San Francisco on Sunday morning, but who else is going? Any other suggested panels?
If you're going, see you there! (Oh, and thanks Bill for the sweet vids!)
totally jealous!

Will do! I actually just saw Anamanaguchi last weekend, and have seen them many times before at Blipfest in NYC. They're great!
Oh, great idea. I'm definitely bringing my sketchbook... I'll have to follow in your footsteps and find some geeky inspirations!

Yah, I think that dude kicked my ass without leaving his side of the computer screen!

Karate dancing... awesome. He even took a few licks - in rhythm.
PAX sounds like fun. Enjoy, and be careful.
