So, most of you guys know about Penny Arcade, right? Well, they're having their second annual Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX for short, on August 26-28, in Bellevue, Washington. That's, if I recall correctly, fairly close to Seattle. It's been billed as "E3 for everyone", and there's going to be tons of gaming all around the place, not simply the things that were seen at E3. Preregistration is as of now (I think) only about $30 or $40. They also have tons of tournaments there, including:

- Mario Kart: Double Dash
- Super Smash Bros Melee
- Counter Strike (Team)
- Halo 2 (Team)
- Tekken 5
- D&D
- Magic
- The Omegathon Tournament (with a prize "any kind of gamer would covet")

Considering the timing of PAX this year, which should be fairly close to the Tokyo Game Show, there could be the possibility that Revolution may show itself at PAX, if Nintendo decides that they would like to show something at PAX. If I were them, I would, and Microsoft and Sony had better show their consoles as well. Odds are, Twilight Princess will be playable, and hopefully they'll showcase some DDR as well.

So, considering this, would you go? I'd make this a poll, but it's early in the morning, and I'm kinda tired (I live on the West Coast). A bunch of my friends are going, so as long as I can get parental consent, I will too.

I hate you guys.

On a sidenote, is there any chance you would have a suitcase big enough to fit me in?

Depends. Would you like all your extremities attached?

I'll put $1 on this, given how, if it came true, I'd stand to make at least $1000 on the bet.

I'd consider checking it out if, you know, I wasn't located on the EAST coast of North America.

Toronto? Eww. You seen the air there lately? (But yes, they need to start doing these things closer to me. )

Seriously, I'd love to go, but if I could come even close to affording it... I'd blow it all on goodies at Anim

wtf, you asked me if I wanted to go with you last year, wtf.

Anyway, I would probably go if I still lived in my beloved Washington aka "The Greatest Land on the Face of the Earth" but nope, stuck here in Virginia aka the exact opposite of what I just said.
