I’m sure that the nations capitol, isn’t holding out on you guys, but there hasn’t been a convention here in a long time since i’ve been gaming; can we get some love here…. The DMV; D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, and I don’t mean Richmond, and Norfolk, thats not the DMV takes care of all the comes thru, just look out for us… I like what i’ve seen and most of the conventions i view online looks great I would like to attend one though, and i’m not traveling the world to see it…..

Absolutely going to be there, minus the flanel shirt and Melvins bootleg on the Walkman. ;-) Nothing against the “old guard” of Seattle’s glory days, but we’ve all tried to move past that, and instead got stuck in the fad of beards and fixed-gear bikes. I kid.

Seriously though, if you’re all going to be at PAX, you might consider walking a few block uphill (and I mean uphill) to meeting at Cha-Cha, Six Arms, Bauhaus Coffee or maybe even the Deluxe at the north end of Broadway. Not sure how many you’re planning to see there, but aside from the larger restaurants I can’t think of too many places that will hold a crowd on a Friday/Saturday night near the Convention Center.

For breakfast, I heartily recommend Mae’s Phinney Ridge Diner and Beth’s. Both are a bit of a drive or bus trip from downtown. Maybe the B&O where Pearl Jam came up with their name? It’s close.

Look forward to seeing everyone. And please don’t mock my old brick of a PSP, it’s been at my side since launch.

Is that a picture of the IHD; International Hot Doggers?
Those guys, and one girl, look like they just found out they will be having free lunch.

NYC PAX is coming in 2010. So you have a gamers con in the Northeast.

Jeff, there won’t be a problem getting people caffinated, this is Seattle after all. Home of SBC, Starbucks, and Tully’s. There are several Starbucks and SBC within blocks of the Convention center, I don’t think they seats more then a dozen or so. However I’m not sure how big you think this might be. If it’s saturday AM, I’m there. Can I make a request for something around 8-9am. I’m coming in from the Other side of the sound and have to catch a ferry, so it’s hard to get in extra early.

I will definitely be at PAX this year. Rumor has it that the Penny Arcade guys will be planning a East Coast PAX sometime in the future.

Breakfast sounds like a great idea! I will definitely try to make it up for some grub. Being from Canada I’m not familiar with down town Seattle but there must be a place that would accommodate for those coming for breakfast gaming.

Some games that I think most PSP owners might or should own are Wipeout Pulse, Burnout Legends, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, GTA Liberty City, Ridge Racer, Killzone Liberation, Lumines 1 or 2 and Metal Gear Portable Ops. I’m only good at SFA 3 Max but I own the rest.

E-Co: I think that as a troop there should be a sprint option when you are running. That would help when you are trying to overtake an enemy! You have a turbo boost in a Warkawk. Why not a quick burst of speed when you need it? Maybe the next update could add that one in!

Definitely going to be there all three days. The Sony booth was great last year, especially with the Uncharted treasure hunt thing. I have my framed artwork hanging right on my wall. Hopefully you guys bring Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 along.
