In the last week of March, Boston will play host to PAX, an event that I do not believe the residents of that fine city will be able to cope with terribly well. 30,000+ game fans heading to the Hynes Convention Center for 3 days of game related fun. Hopefully. 3 of those 30,000 will hail from SuperHappyFunTimeShow towers in the form of myself, Binary667 and GK128. We’ll do our best to put up coverage of the event on this part of the site and will be recording a special SHFTS/TPG cross over PAX East podcast during the show. The feeds for both shows will be updated with it.
So if you’re going, drop us an email by using the Contact section of the site or even become a fan of the SHFTS facebook group here. By doing so you’ll be kept up to date with any PAX East releated events that we’re organising.
Finally to wet your appetite for PAX East, here’s the recently released list of exhibitors and musical acts attending the show:
