Countdown to PAX E

[mizarchivist]

So, the Penny Arcade Expo (East) is happening here in Boston starting next Friday afternoon with Whil Wheaton as kenote, Jonathan Coulton, and Paul & Storm as musical guests. They also plan to have panels about gaming n' stuff.

Random cool discovered in the past few days discovered: 
Radio Free Burrito #22. Worth listening to - good music (MC Frontalot and M Doughty) and a retelling of one of Wil's stories.
I discovered that Wil co-narrates Boneshaker on Audible, but wholly reads a Fables novel-  Peter and Max, which I decided might be more fun since I just read Boneshaker within the past few months.
Extra random happy: purple_terror 's going to finish Turncoat tonight, which means I can start it tomorrow. This breaks my self-imposed restriction of saving the last paperback Harry Dresden novel as a backup, emergency read. I deem this artificial restriction inconsequential in the face of the instant gratification I will get by reading acts of impossible derring do. (I may have been watching too much Big Bang Theory again. I'm starting to sound like Sheldon. Again.)

Is that tomorrow? or a week from tomorrow? Sounds like a great time. I have a friend who is planning to go, but he needs crash space. Do you know of anyone with spare floor space?

Next week-
I have no idea regarding crash space. I don't live near enough to the con to make for good crash space.

I'm starting to sound like Sheldon.

Fortunately, you don't look like Sheldon . . . and the "talking like Sheldon" is kinda cute . . .

Also, I promise not to put barcodes on my clothes for easier wardrobe determinations.

Actually, I can see that having all sorts of possibilities . . .

No, wait, even better: RFID tags! That way you can have a database of what clothes are in the closet, what are in the wash, what are being worn, what are missing, updated in real-time . . . you can ask it which shirt matches the clothes you're already wearing, and it'll know what's available . . .

Hmm, good thing I work for a patent law firm, 'cause I gots me an idea here!

... and even more accurate to what Sheldon actually did.

Are you going?

If only for the Wil-ness?

Wil + music. Yes.
