After a grueling day of waiting for 5pm to roll around I was greeted by my PAX tickets in my mail box when I got home. Since I was slow off the mark this year I only managed to snag passes for Saturday and Sunday but oh well, 2/3 PAX is better than no PAX. I know from casual discussions with the people I interact with playing Eve that a ton of us turn up to this event, which is why I'm a little surprised there isn't a thread already up with 85 people saying they're down for a bar roam and making drunken fools of themselves. I guess someone had to start the ball rolling ...
We're all going to be in downtown Seattle anyway ... What's your excuse for not getting drunk with your Eve buddies and waxing philosophical about game mechanics and ship re-balancing (and how cool Shadow Cartel are)?
I'm assuming Saturday night would be the best for a meetup, since it'll probably get the highest turnout, though beyond that I'm open to suggestions. If you have a great idea, I'd love to hear it. |

I'll be there, and at the moment, do not have anything setup saturday evening. If something happens, give me a shout, I would most likely be down to meet up. |

Their travel/convention budget was probably slashed in the wake of CCP's financial issues as of late. With them attending Gamescom, it was probably not feasible for them to attend PAX as well.
Then again, who knows. Maybe CCP will be there in force showing off DUST at the Sony booth! No way of telling until we get a CCP employee to verify or not..

No, but It wouldn't be in the spirit of eve if I didn't ask if I could have your stuff. |

Bring some for me as well, I don't want to be completely empty handed. On the other hand, you guys pick a place and time for a meetup and we'll be there. |

Sorry when I hear " Will stop by the office to pick up some Stuff" It brings to mine about Stealing CCP Guard's Stapler and giving that out as swag
CCP Guard Arriving to work the following day looking high and low for his stapler, which is now on its way to the west coast with out him. And the Facial Expressions that CCP Guard is able to make......when he realizes his stuff is going to More events than he is.
Just a funny thought
Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

Now CCP Foxfour is pretty much obligated to get a stapler from CCP Guard |

It would be amazing if it was a red Swingline stapler
How about just doing this meetup on Saturday evening, say around 6? We can wrap it up by 8 or so to be back in time for the concerts. I had pretty good food & drinks a couple years back at the Fox Sports Bar, it's about 2 blocks from the Convention and wasn't crowded:
http://www.foxsportsgrill.com/
I'm of course willing to be flexible if someone has a better idea, but right now we have no plan, and plan > no plan . Right? If I get a few good responses later today/tomorrow I'll call and make a reservation for us. |

I'm happy to show up whenever. I'll be at PAX on Saturday, but I'm local so swinging by on Friday isn't a problem either.
If you would prefer to meet at the conference center itself and then go somewhere as a group for food and drink, I know a good location.
The conference center has three basic entrances. The main street level is on the North from Pike Street. It's first floor and gets the most traffic. Lots of crowds means it would be a very difficult place to meet up.
There is the tunnel where busses drop off. That's to the East. Maybe it's just me, but meeting in tunnels just seems sketchy.
The third entrance is from the South up a set of exterior stairs. It enters on the second floor of the conference center where there is a fruit smoothy place inside the conference center. It's a fairly low traffic area and so finding a small group of other people is quite possible there. Two years ago that is where the rock band stage was if any of you remember that. There are a couple of small tables just inside that would be a good place to meet.

It's the area marked "Int 1. Meeting Place" on the second floor of the latter link.
You can arrive up the stairs from the outside at 7th and Union or come from the convention by going to the second floor and heading South. That smoothy place (the food icon next to the area) is open to the public even when the convention is going so this is also an area accessible to any players that didn't get PAX tickets before they sold out or do not have on for whichever day we choose. From there, it's a very easy walk to a number of decent restaurants and bars. I've not been to the Fox Sports Bar, but it looks like a perfectly good choice. |

Sorry, hadn't looked at the entertainment schedule for Friday night.
Well, if any others are interested in Friday, I'll be there. Though I'm local, I am out of town on Saturday and Sunday - only at PAX on Friday ... |

The reason I didn't suggest meeting at PAX itself is pretty well covered by the fact that you had to link two maps to attempt to get us all on the same page, and I'm still unclear exactly where you actually meant . I'd suggest meeting up at the CCP booth, but there isn't one this year :sadpanda:
However, if a couple folks would like to meet where Paul suggested, go for it .
I would be up for Friday, but I have actually have a meetup with a different group that evening and would have to pick. Sol if you're an Arsian you might consider going to their meetup instead?
Anyway, I have no idea how many people are going to come to the EVE meetup and the Devs haven't responded back yea/nay so far. I'll probably go ahead and make a reservation tomorrow for say 6-8 people and we'll see how many show up.
If you're planning on attending, Saturday night @ 6pm @ the Fox Sports Grill, please give me an actual "I'll be there" post please. |

Hey bro's! So i just met up with Foxfour and we thought it would be best to do this on friday as that is the only day we can both attend. We decided an a place called "Alibi Room" that is pretty close to the venue. Their website is here "http://www.seattlealibi.com/welcome.htm". So let's meet up there around 7 - 8 PM -ish and then after a couple of drinks and some swag we can head out wherever and go on a proper pub crawl! :D
How does that sound? |
