I'm a slayer, ask me how.

While rummaging through the disaster area that is my desk, I found the Xbox code for a PAX East hoodie for my avatar. The weather here in Maryland has been ranging from 30-80, but it was a pretty chilly night on Friday, so I dressed her up a bit before watching some MST3K on Netflix.

I can't believe PAX was 3 weeks ago! Time has just been flying by with this crazy move and stuff! But here is a rundown of the fun I had before I forget!

Thursday, we flew into Boston and Becky took us to go see "The Adding Machine" which was a weird musical based loosely on a play from the 1920s about a man who loses his job to an adding machine. Yeah, it was weird. I believe my brother described the music as "atonal" while the theater promotions guy said they prefer "dissonant".

We also stopped by the comic book store and I snagged The Guild #1 (both covers) and looked for a copy of DEMO by Brian Wood. They didn't have it, so I bought the first volume in his 'Northlanders' series...and I've read none of them. Here's hoping they are good!

Friday we met up with theoldmelody, her sister, and their other friends (whose names just went right of my head). We managed to get into Wil Wheaton's keynote speech which was funny and touching and really set the tone for the whole weekend. Then Gabe & Tycho came out for a quick Q&A session. We wandered around the convention center and checked out the stuff happening in the exhibit halls. It was really fun.

And just when I thought I had carried around the new Penny Arcade book for nothing, we ran into "Gabe" in the hallway! I asked him to please sign the book to AD because he couldn't come "because he got a job!" I said, rolling my eyes. Gabe snickered "Pffft, loser."
