Hello,
I am CCP Daishi (You can call me "Mike" if you'd prefer). The Director of Events and Conventions for CCP Games.
Some of you may have heard through some less than conventional methods that we are going to be holding an EVE Fan Event at PAX East 2011 in Boston. Having been to PAX Prime in Seattle twice now, I can't say enough great things about this show. It truly is a consumer gaming show that is by gamers, for gamers. The unfortunate part is that if you haven't already bought a pass to PAX East, you are out of luck as they just sold out late last week 
For those attending that will be looking for our booth, we don't have one of those for this show. As most of you may already know, March is quite a busy month for us at CCP with the EVE Fanfest that is being held in Iceland, so we have to put a lot of resources and focus on that to ensure it's a great success for all those that fly the thousands of miles to attend.
When talking about PAX East and what we were going to do, I simply felt that there would be a missed opportunity if we didn't do something for our fans and friends of CCP. So here we are now! I am going to provide some simple instructions below for you to follow if you are an EVE fan attending PAX East.
1. Send an email to [email protected]
2. Title that email "PAX East Gathering"
3. In the body of the email, simply provide me with your real name and one of your character names
Not that the email address you use to send the mail will be the one used for the invite.
FAQ:
Q. Do I need to be 21 to get in?
A. You most certainly do. this will be taking place at a bar and ID will be checked.
Q. What day and time will this be?
A. Saturday - March 12th starting at 7:30PM.
Q. Where is this party happening?
A. At an undisclosed location in Boston's Financial District. Only a quick ride away from the PAX Venue. This will be revealed on your invite.
Q. Is there limited space at this?
A. There is. right now we are at about 1/2 capacity for invites, so act fast!
Q. Will there be developers there?
A. Absolutely. We are bringing two of our Atlanta EVE Online developers with us.
Q. Will there be drinks?
A. Definitely! You'll just have to attend to find out the extent of this answer.
Q. Will you have swag?
A. Working on getting some stuff there. Not going to to promise right now, but we do have something special for those who attend 
Q. I have a question that isn't on here. Can I troll you in this thread to get you to answer it?
A. Yes. Trolling goes a long way on these forums if you haven't noticed! I am no exception.
Now get that email into us! Hope to see you all there?

What if you just live nearby but aren't going to PAX specifically? If the EVE event isn't badged by PAX, why not allow local EVE players in general?
Sorry - I should have been clear on that.
See the last question I added to the FAQ in the first post.

I sent my email in over the weekend, but I used a different subject. Should I re-send it?
You are all good. The subject isn't important. The awesome mails I am getting from girls in Russia that want to date me has increased since the Massively article. I just tossed the subject thing in here for good measure.
It's pretty easy for me to spot the real requests from the fakes one :)

Is it in walking distance of the convention?
we have car transportation there, but parking looks like it's going to be an issue
edit- also i want to know if i can bring someone who has a lapsed eve account but a real character!
For the first question: Not that I am giving the venue away, but it's about 1.1 miles away from the venue. A 20 - 25 min walk if you're up to it.
For the second question: That person will need to put a mail in as well.

The invites just went out at Midnight.
Unfortunately, this means we are out of space at this event 
The response to this has been fantastic! See you all there!

Something not covered: What about girlfriends/wives/tagalongs?
I'm usually inseparable from my wife.
It was covered on the invite page. 1 ticket per invite. I wish we had room, but the response was so great and we are tight on space.

PS: I should point out that she did go with me to one player gathering held by DJ Zod in NYC.
Haha! Then we have met before ;)
