Forum:PAX Prime 2011 roster for Halo Fanon

"PAX is 50,000 friends you never knew you had."

- HotSake

"The Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is an annual gamer festival held in Washington. PAX was created by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the authors of the Penny Arcade webcomic, because they wanted to attend a show that gave equal attention to video gamers, computer gamers, and tabletop gamers. No such show existed, so PAX was born."

- Wikipedia article on the Penny Arcade Expo

Well it's that time of the year again. Time to scrounge some money together, plan a road trip or flight, book a hotel, and get your collective asses into Seattle, Washington for PAX Prime 2011! Also known as the "Penny Arcade Expo", no details yet have emerged about developers, celebrities, community sites and events, or what games are going to be there, but like every PAX, it should be one hell of a ride regardless of what shows up. Or you could go just for free and cheap swag/loot.

Anyways, i've taken it upon myself to get an idea of who has made commitments to go to PAX Prime this year, who's planning or considering going, etc. Right now, this sort of roster will be placed upon on both Halo Fanon and our sister site Halopedia. Hopefully, I can also get a good roster going on multiple sites, such as HBO, Waypoint Forums, Bungie.net Halo contingent, etc. so we can have a good Halo-based get together somewhere in the Emerald City.

Hotel sharing
Similar to one of the forum links listed above, I thought it would be nice to have a Halo Fanon equivalent of the "Hotel Room Share Thread." While there won't be any sign ups here on this forum thread, feel free to discuss any of it below in the comments section or through the various forms of private messaging available to you. For security reasons, only those above the age of 18 are encouraged by the Administration to seek a hotel room partner. Halo Fanon does not officially endorse anyone person to bunk with. For quality information, use this template to submit to one another:

Date Arriving: Date Leaving: Spots Needed: List how many people will share the room, including yourself My Gender and Age: List your gender and age here Your Gender and Age: List the preferred gender and age of a room partner here Best Contact Method:

Additional Notes: Any requests, recommendations, etc.

 * CommanderTony — Proud (future) owner of the 3-Day Pass. Lives in the Seattle, plans to share a room with a fellow member of the Halo community. All those willing to share the daily rate may message me via Facebook, just make sure to add me to your friends and notify me with this: "Halo Fanon writer willing to share room rate." I plan to stay from Thursday, August 25th to Monday, August 29th.
