Little did Team Penny Arcade know that by hosting PAX on our native East Coast, they'd be opening their event up to all kinds of Joystiq shennanigans. We'd like to announce the first today: The First Annual Joystiq Blueberry Muffin Tops Breakfast, brought to you by your fine friends at Malt-O-Meal.
No, this is not a joke. If you're a PAX East attendee, then Saturday, March 27, for the low low price of free, you can join your friends from Joystiq as we collectively enjoy the planet's finest cereal: Blueberry Muffin Tops. The only catch? You're going to have to have one of 600 bracelets that will be distributed at the show. If you want details on how you can get one, you can find them after the jump. You're also gonna want to head to the event's Facebook page and follow it on Twitter: @JoystiqBBMT.
If you think that's great (and it is, make no mistake) wait until you see what else we have planned ...
First off, thank you so much to Malt-O-Meal's Blueberry Muffin Tops for sponsoring this event, it absolutely would not have been possible without their support and delicious, delicious cereal.
Details of the event: Due to the overwhelming number of people coming to PAX East and the fact that the room can only hold 300 people at a time, we've decided to implement a bracelet system for entry. To obtain the bracelet, we'll post Alexander Sliwinski's location and picture here at Joystiq.com on Facebook and on Twitter @JoystiqBBMT at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. He'll be in very close proximity to the convention center. To obtain a bracelet you'll need to show your PAX East badge to him when he arrives at 8 a.m., as the breakfast will occur within the convention center. You'll receive one of two colored bracelets and the specific location of the event at that time. One color will be able to get into the room from 9-9:50AM, the next group from 10-11AM. First-come, first-served and you'll be able to select which time you prefer at that time (if that bracelet color is still available). Also: One per person, which means you shouldn't send a friend to pick yours up. Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm and we look forward to seeing you that morning!

Oh, man. This sounds fun, but also scary. I'll be DEVASTATED if I don't get into the breakfast :( DEVASTATED! Looks like I'll have to keep partying to a minimum on Friday night, seeing as how I'll be up at 6am and all.
Even still, this is a huge highlight of PAX East for me. Can't wait to see everybody there!

Well I was going to say this (without the odd spelling) but it seems some part of this post has also been word filtered.
Yet people can still say "Sony shiII", "Xb0ts" or "Nintendo fanb0y".

You have to have a bracelet? : (
I can't just come up there for the breakfast and not attend PAX?

Aye. Make it a proper meet-up outside the con, it would be more inclusive (though i suppose 600 is a rather large number for a single event as it is)
moot point for myself. Can't justify a trip to Boston here from Philly, if only it were New York or Baltimore.

Damn you geography! *shakes fist at map*
Where's the love for us west coasters? I wandered around PAX Prime with my pockets stuffed to bursting with blueberry muffin tops, hoping to attract a rare Joystiqqer, but to no avail.
And to rub salt into the wound, now those pesky east coasters get the homoerotic joy of receiving jewllery from Alexander? Curses!

Awesome, I love that cereal. I always got it at the dollar store and ran through a box in a DAY cuz I couldn't help it. Pointless story, but this article reminds me of the good old days of living next to a GIGANTIC dollar store.
