Editor's note: This is a great idea — Bitmob does need to represent at the Penny Arcade Expo, though unfortunately, none of the main staff will be there this year due to a lack of a budget. If any of you have any interest in meeting other community Bitmobbers at PAX, however, please post a comment. If there's enough interest, this can be the start of a new tradition. -Jason
I know that Gamescom is the current talk of the week, but I'd like to take a moment to look ahead to 2009's next big gaming event — the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle!
As you can see, my pass has already arrived in the mail. The excitement of receiving this piece of plastic kick-started my preparation for another three days of gaming bliss at PAX.
I assume that I won't be the only member of the Mob present at this year's festivities, so I wonder…has anyone planned some sort of member meet-up?
The Bay Area Bitmob Community Meet-Up looked like a blast. It would certainly be interesting to have another gathering like that in the Seattle area, and I think PAX would be the perfect place to do it.
Since the show's close to the heart of downtown Seattle, there should be plenty of prime locations for an event like this. I would gladly spend some time with other users of this fine community at PAX, so let me know what y'all think!
