PAX, continued

So, it turns out samuraizergling  is a resourceful dude +10, as he scored 2 extra get into concert wrist bands, so my initial pessimism was for naught. I had figured R. should go given her hard core dedication. I'm glad we didn't have to make that decision.

The day sort of went in a blur.
We attended the musician's panel. Sitting in line was fun thanks to a chance meeting of recent acquaintances and a deck of Quiddler cards.
( Many pictures under the cut )

Here are the videos I took for that. Weegee- you have a must-see in there.

I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did. The random interactions with strangers really made a very good day that much better.
eta: here's the beginning of WW's keynote. 6 parts total.
eta2: Recursive Wil Wheaton.

By the way... PAX follow up

For those of you (like my Dad) who are not familiar with the stylings of Paul and Storm, they have this song called Opening Band, (recording from last night) as they tend to be the opening band for Jonathan Coulton (although this is changing).  Within the lyrics of said song, they say "and as of today, no panties have been thrown," except there usually are some who oblige- well! I forgot to mention that I fashioned some out of the green pipe cleaners, since the PAX folk thought that the nerds would have fun with them while waiting in line (we did) and since I was that close, they did get up. One other person thought of it, too--- soo! I'm briefly famous again in a very oblique way. The video is shot from far enough back that you wouldn't be able to tell without their saying what it is--- Mine are the ones on the left (stage right).  ^_^ geek glee!

Further side note- I was really afraid I came down with the PAX pox. Or in this case, lunch didn't agree with me. Let's hope the pox stays away.
