I’m glad my friend made me go to PAX. Lots of awesome games to look forward to. Some of the games were so cool they made me think about getting a PS3 and a 360, but I resisted. I played so much my forearms started hurting.

There were a lot of costumes and other cool stuff. Disney had a cool set up, which surprised me. And someone invited me to a local girl con. There’s not much information up about it yet, but the theory around it seems promising.

If I have the chance to go again in the future I will, but I’ll do a few things differently:

1. Bring food and water with you. Don’t ask me why I thought they’d be checking bags.

2. Waiting in line is more fun with friends. I went alone but the  wait in-between game play was pretty long and boring.

3. Show up later (or really early and then go back). I was tired by 5 p.m. and couldn’t muster the energy to ride back downtown from Ballard for the concert.

Pictures!! The place was packed. Also, I was passively hoping that I’d bump into Wil Wheaton while I was there, but that didn’t happen :( Oh well.

Even though I tapped out early, I did get to do something that is equally awesome to concert going (in my opinion). I made my first perfect steak! PMFM.

Thank you for sharing your meat grilling wisdom, wise QFC butcher, you know your steaks.
