Boston, MA Area GwJr's

More snow When does the pain end?

Never.
Enjoy the eternal winter.

Feels like 2014 except we’ve gotten merciful melts in between storms. I’ll take it over that hellscape.

I said that too. I'm thinking of a movie plot where a few Bostonians wake up to discover they're back in 2015 and try to warn the nation.... *stumbles on to D&D*

The view from my front door:

Yup, it's still winter.

They closed my office today, so I stayed home and played Left 4 Dead with my son, Horizon Zero Dawn with my wife and Koosh Ball Bounce with my daughter.

It was pretty much the best snow day ever.

That's the year that killed me and caused me to move back to the West coast after 12 years in Boston.

Is there a current PAXEast thread? I’ve two extra sets of Fri and Sat passes...

Are you interested in selling those individually? I'm only interested in going one of those two days, and it's just me.

I don't think we have a current thread. I'll reach out to some friends and see if anyone is interested in whatever taharka doesn't take?

Got my tickets this week.

Is it my imagination, or are we seeing a diminishing GWJ presence at PAX east?

I haven't been much of a PAX goer since going to the very first PAX East. A few years ago, hearing all the stories of fun times broke down my resolve, and I got tickets to all three days. That seemed to be the first year that people kind of stopped going. I think that was back in 2016? I haven't gone since, so I guess I'm part of the problem.

It's not just you.

I think most people burn out in the oppressive crowds and the PAX pox after a year or two. I have tickets but am debating whether to sell.

I skipped last year's PAX East, but I will be attending this year's, on Friday with a buddy and on Saturday with my three girls.

For me, it's a matter of how much the passes themselves cost, combined with the fact that most of my reliable friends are always guaranteed for MAGFest in January, which means the likelihood of having time off for PAX East diminishes. I keep wanting to come back because PAX East is a one-of-a-kind event, but unfortunately it just seems destined to not happen over and over again.

It is an increasingly expensive show to go to.

Dee I want to buy a Saturday pass and possibly a Friday one too.

I stopped going to everything but the Tamo meetups after we had our first kid. My wife was actually super pregnant at our last PAX East together. This year is the first year I’ve felt like we’re grounded enough in this parenting thing to go again. I hope there’s a least a few of us there.

If anyone is interested in selling their tickets, I'd be interested in buying a Saturday ticket. Just need one, though.

Okay, Taharka and gravity, you got it. Hop in my PMs. Sorry about my lack of follow-up on the thread.

Now I just have one Friday ticket left.

Absurd and I will probably bring our four-year-old with us. Definitely on Friday, at least.

We’ll be on the lookout for you. I’ll be there on Friday with the whole family.

On Saturday I’ll be there solo, cosplaying as a video game journalist and generally looking for a good time in the tabletop area.

Speaking of which, anyone know of any good board or video games that I should check out? If past years are any indication, I might be able to score some developer interviews.

I'll be around as an Enforcer. I'm momgamer's other half for East and Unplugged. So hit me up on slack or here.

This is your reminder that Anime Boston is this weekend (Fri - Sun), so if you live or work near Hynes, expect to see a lot of cosplayers.

I used to wait tables at the California Pizza Kitchen in the Pru. Anime weekend was always really entertaining.

Saturday is my solo-day at PAX, but I won't be able to stay past three or so.

Are we still using Slack to find each other? I'll be spending some time in the tabletop area.

I will be there. Will have my three boys with me. Two of which technically qualify as GWJR's now. We have Friday and Saturday badges. Gonna try and find the slack channel.

Hey, I just found #Groupme was still installed on my phone.

Anyone still using this to meet up?

I’m definitely using Slack for PAX.

I'm currently only hearing five for Tamo. Is that correct?
