3rd Annual POKECRAWL
This event happens on Thursday April 5th 2012 at 7:30pm. The Pokecrawl is a barcrawl/scavenger hunt that’s Pokemon themed. The goal is to get as drunk as possible while participating in drinking games designed to get you there. Oh yeah, it’s also a great way to meet fellow PAXers and make friends before the convention itself. As always, attendees will be encouraged to come dressed as characters from the Pokemon universe (1st & 2nd generations).

PAX East Gay Gamer Meetup At Fritz
So on Saturday night at 9, I’m going to be at Fritz, and I would appreciate it if at least a few of you guys going to PAX East or living in the Boston area showed up to keep me company! I know it conflicts with the Saturday night concert schedule, but I can promise you that we’re a whole lot more fun than listening to some concert!
Fritz is at 26 Chandler St. in Boston, MA, and is both walking distance from some of the popular hotels and accessible via public transportation. For more information on the bar, you can click here.

Ghostbusters Party at PAX
We (XMG Studio) are an independent mobile game development company who are making our first voyage into the gaming sea that is PAX East 2012.
We’re really pumped about meeting as many people as we can and thought it might be best to host a social gathering of sorts. We’ve booked out MJ O’Connor’s (the Park Plaza location near some of the hotels) for Saturday night from 9:30pm to 1:30am.
Swing by our booth (#134) and grab a wrist-band to get in since there’s a limited space. Since we will be showcasing our new Ghostbusters game (currently in development), we will be pushing the party to be Ghostbusters themed.[/box_light]
