Woohoo! Getting my PAX10 tickets! I had such a good time at the last 2 PAX's and I can't wait to get it on at this years. I didn't make PAX east, but since I am already in Seattle, I thought I could wait. Any other PAXers out there?
So i have my 3 day pass for PAX'08 and I'm super stoked! This will be my first time going to the event and I have no idea of what to do. Oh well, let the good times begin!
