PAX 2007: double the floorspace, twice the fun |
Ó
For those like us who have grown to love Penny Arcade's razor-sharp gaming commentaries and crisp art style, then being able to attend the annual Penny Arcade Expo is something that we would gladly clear our month's schedules for. However, as everyone has discovered from the recent PAX 2006, when Penny Arcade followers show up, they turn out in full force, and small convention halls just won't do the trick anymore.So, to solve this dilemma and as preparation for this year's PAX 2007, the folks from PA have just announced that they are expecting up to 300,000 people to attend the next event, and that a venue which is two times the size of last year's will be waiting to receive the crowd.
Having to give up Bellevue's Maydenbauer Center, PAX 2007 will now be held at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle, Washington. Boasting a floor space of more than 200,000 square feet, they're hoping that this will be enough to hold the attendees, as well as booths and exhibits from companies such as Microsoft, Nintendo, and Wizards of the Coast, to name a few.
PAX 2007 is scheduled to be held on August 24 to 26, and according to their site's countdown, we all have 209 days to go to make those reservations. Early reservations get a chance to join the Omegathon, by the way, so if you're still green with envy over the truck that they gave to the previous Omegathon winner, then better get started.

They gave away a *****ing Scion? That is the worst possible prize. And it's not a truck QJ it's a box on wheels.
