The nerd herding event will also feature performances by Freezepop, Jonathan Coulton (sing "Brookline!"), MC Frontalot, Anamanaguchi, Metroid Metal and Paul & Storm. Registration is already open, with a three-day pass costing $50. Remember, this is one the few events where having the best-looking velvet dice bag makes you cool ... don't be the guy that shows up with dice in a Ziploc bag.

I'm awestruck by the power of Penny Arcade's brand. They're going to have what, 50,000 to 60,000 attendees paying up to 50 dollars a pop. That's income, for sure. If you ever need proof that the webcomic business model can trounce the print/syndication model, this is it.

By Metroid Metal, do you mean Stemage, the band/guy who recorded Metroid Metal?
Also, thank god they got Anamanaguchi again. They're freaking amazing.

That is exactly what he meant. Stemage and four friends (one of whom has been playing bass guitar on all tracks since the Super set started) played at MAGfest last year, and now they're coming to PAX.

Couldn't make it last year, but I'm super excited to finally see Anamanaguchi. Glad PAX is in WA for at least one more year.

The Boston PAX is supposed to be "in addition to" the Washington PAX. It isn't meant to replace it.

F-R-E-E-Z-E-P-O-O-P. Wrong! Try again. F-R-E-E-Z-E-P-O-P. You are correct.

This just reminds me of how awesome PAX 08' was and how sad I'm going to be this September because I'm not making the trip this year. At least it coming to my neck of the woods in 2010. Seems so far away....
