PAX 2008: We've arrived!

by Ross Miller { Aug 28th 2008 at 5:45PM }

Our plane has just landed in ~~sunny~~ ~~beautiful~~ Seattle and we are now sitting on the floor of the lovely Seattle-Tacoma airport (note: compared to other airport floors, it's not exactly the bee's knees). We're getting ourselves in gear for tomorrow's grand opening of the 2008 Penny Arcade Expo, so stay tuned for all of our coverage over the weekend!

Man, why you gots to bag on SeaTown? Don't make me put the Rumpasaurus on you.

loof @ Aug 28th 2008 5:53PM

Yay PAX, my flight leaves in about 3 hours.

Mr Khan @ Aug 28th 2008 5:55PM

Just as dreary here in Western PA

bill51 @ Aug 28th 2008 6:00PM

I always found Seattle very pretty, regardless of sun.

MasterCKO @ Aug 28th 2008 6:06PM

yeah, I've been to SeaTac myself. One big ball of "MEH."

MasterCKO @ Aug 28th 2008 6:07PM

Written from Sunny Northern California.

omosier @ Aug 28th 2008 6:12PM

If you spat on my hopes and dreams, you would have Seattle.

OMGOMG @ Aug 28th 2008 6:12PM

Come on.

Pearl Jam!

Nick the Hero of Canton @ Aug 28th 2008 6:16PM

Have fun.

TendoMan @ Aug 28th 2008 6:17PM

Let me guess? SeaTac is STILL under some sort of construction.

Welcome to the area, Joystiq. Be prepared for more clouds, and stormy weather. You missed the bright sun and hot temps by about a week.

Need tunes? Check into 107.7 THE END. Good Alterna-Tunes. Need Coffee? Go to a local Coffee stand. There are some great Bikini Baristas in the area. Stay away from Starbucks, please.

Again, Welcome to the area, and fucking have a blast at PAX you lucky sons of bitches. :D

Vexorg @ Aug 28th 2008 6:28PM

Yup. It seems like every time I go over to SeaTac these days they've completely changed the roads going in and out of the place. Not much going on in the terminal though.

neuber @ Aug 28th 2008 6:33PM

Forget THE END - 90.3 is where it's at for good tunes (only comes in clearly when you're in the Seattle area though).

Joe @ Aug 28th 2008 6:20PM

Seattle may not be sunny, but it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Take a look around.

alejo699 @ Aug 28th 2008 7:48PM

Who judges an entire city by its airport? Hey, y'all are welome to go back where you came from, there's plenty enough people here already.

KeegdnaB @ Aug 28th 2008 6:36PM

Do I detect the essence of Southwest Airlines?

You guys at least got to travel in class (remember the days when the big airlines actually had service?)

mr mobius @ Aug 28th 2008 6:52PM

If only you had a celestial brush, then you could make it sunny.

Cameron @ Aug 28th 2008 7:07PM

Drinks and Pinball for PAX attendees at a bar called Shortys in Belltown tonight.

Double J @ Aug 28th 2008 7:11PM

Welcome! Please enjoy our wonderful Fall weather! Never mind that it's still August.

HeadOrange @ Aug 29th 2008 10:51AM

Welcome gents.

August is fall here in Seattle. :)

Get dinner at:

It's close to downtown and delicious.

Hardman @ Aug 28th 2008 8:38PM

Screw the sun! I moved to Seattle for rain. And we don't get nearly enough of it as advertised. :(

Bass Masterson @ Aug 28th 2008 8:57PM

Move to Oregon. Even rainier and more depressing.

magicchicken @ Aug 28th 2008 8:58PM

Today there was an event today on the same floor as PAX tomorrow that would have be interesting for a Joystiq member to cover:

The panel included Shane Kim, Perrin Kaplan, and other local industry vets, talking about the state of the game industry in the Seattle region -especially during an economic recession. A lot of cool perspectives were shared.

Main Theater, 4:00pm yoez. Be there or be the square root of lame to the infinity power. I'm seriousl, everyone you know and love will be there. If you aren't it'll be devastating. Go!

palindromic @ Aug 28th 2008 9:01PM

4:00pm on Saturday. Just to clarify this ghee. Butter!

brett @ Aug 28th 2008 9:26PM

Lived in Seattle my whole life. It's always overcast, doesn't run that much, and the airport is a good 15 miles south of the actual city(only 3 miles from my house thought). Weird city but good vibes, PAX is going to rule.

brertt @ Aug 28th 2008 10:06PM

**rain that much**

colin @ Aug 28th 2008 11:23PM

did you arrive in a hovercraft?

venk @ Aug 29th 2008 10:53AM

I had a lay over in SeaTac about a week ago. Man, this is one of the crummiest airports I have ever been in. My local airport (Detroit Metro) is a freaking palace compared to this guy.

Todd @ Aug 29th 2008 11:14AM

I would much rather live in Seattle than here in Southern California. I hate hate hate the damn sun. It's never cloudy here practically. Whats so great about the freaking sun anyway? My skin is always burning, my car gets so damn hot, I hate having to wear sunglasses to drive to work in the morning. Gah I'd love to move to Seattle if only I knew anyone up there.
