PAX Day 3

Sep. 1st, 2008 07:20 pm
Sunday was much better for me in a lot of ways. I'm not at all sure why that is but it was much better for me.

It started out with me getting to the theater and no one being there. I waited. I helped out with the tabletop area and then waited some more for people to show up at the theater. I started cleaning the tables and the chairs since it was something of a mess. At 10 people started filing in for the Wil Wheaton panel at 11:30. There was still only me and no game plan AT ALL for how we were planning on dealing with the people that were coming.

We started getting everything set up and ready. No one had a solid game plan and we changed the plan about seven times. I was a bit annoyed by that. Still, by 11, the room was mostly full, even though I'd been told that we weren't in danger of filling the theater. Please. The theater might well have had 500 seats and standing room for maybe a hundred more or so. This is no Hall H. That said by the time the panel started, we were full. There was no more room, I'm sure we were close to violating fire code.

So, thus began my job of turning people away from the room. For the most part, everyone was very nice about it. There was one girl with punk-y hair and boarder shorts who attempted to get up in my face about it. It was sort of funny. She got there with the panel half over and insisted I let her stand in the fire exit to listen. I told her she couldn't. She called me a rude name and attempted to get in my face. I looked down at her, unimpressed and she made a threatening movement. I told her that I had like 4 inches and over 100 pounds on her and six guys standing behind me who had my back and that would likey be a bad decision on her part. After a moment or two she backed off and left muttering.

After that, I got to see the Jenga round of the Omagethon, which was insanely awesome, again, this year. Then there was excellent food at the juice bar for Enforcers. NOM NOM NOM. Then we took a trip through the EXPO hall again. There wasn't a ton of stuff there that I hadn't seen at least a little but it was nice to cover it again. And then it was time to be part of the Enforcer wall between the VIPs and the rest of the crowd. And the FINAL ROUND was VS EXCITEBIKE!

That was pretty cool.
