With a little under a year to go, PAX East registration is now open. Taking place March 26-28 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, a three-day pass will cost $50, while individual day passes are $30 -- add $5 if you're planning on picking up your tickets the day of the show. So far, no exhibitors, participating hotels or schedule of events are posted. Take it from a Bostonian, you can stay in any hotel near a T stop (we should probably do a post detailing this) and make it to the convention center in under an hour.
If you're planning on going to GDC, don't worry, that show takes place March 9-13 in San Francisco. It'll certainly be interesting to see how game marketing and PR treat this new high-profile East Coast gaming convention. Team Joystiq will be there in full force ... considering a third of our staff is within driving range.

I would love to go to this. I've got relatives that live in Hyannis, so the trip would be easy. An hour and a half at the most.

Well, if I'm still unemployed by then (won't everyone?), I might as well buy a ticket.

I wish I could afford to go, but for that I would need a job and not have a lot of other stuff to pay for.
and a car, although i don't know if i'd want to drive that far

So PAX Boston 2010, is that THE Pax for 2010? Or will there be one in Seattle at the end of August like normal too?
I am very happy that those of you on the East Coast are going to get to enjoy the wonderfulness that is PAX. It really is a great thing. Though being from Seattle, I don't want my yearly PAX to go away in 2010! :P

It's a place where you're charged money to stand in line to play a demo or watch a trailer two weeks before everyone else gets it.

England to Boston or England to Seattle? Decisions decisions.
If I start saving now I could afford to get to both!

I don't think I could say no to this, considering I could get there in 20 min.

"Do you like apples?"
"Yeah."
"PAX is here. How do you like them apples?"
Good Will Hunting is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Well, I guess it's slightly better than the west coast for someone around the lakes. Still, a Chicago version would be nice.

Living on the east coast (NH, NY for school) I feel like I miss out on so many west coast events. I'm certainly looking forward to this.

How about a location and/or a time of year when it won't be bitter fucking cold?

Because when it isn't bitter cold, that part of the country is as warm and moist as the Devil's armpit.
