The BIG PAX East 2016 Party List – Parties, Events, Meetups & More!

ITSHAPPENING.JPG

PAX East is ON ITS WAY, and that means that we’re getting our BIG next party list up and running! PAX East is arguably one of the best fan-based events in the gaming industry, as the gaming industry tends to have a last hurrah before the E3 madness sets in. This year the event is in April, so the Boston weather should be great.

Well, it *is* Boston, so we’ll probably get 18 feet of snow that weekend.

That just means we’ll have to stay indoors and party it up to keep warm. I’m okay with that.

Here’s the list, and as usual keep peeping the Facebook Group and our friends on Twitter and Penny Arcade’s boards for more breaking deets! As usual, special shout-out to Becky Taylor and many others for doing God’s party work!

Have a party or event you’d like added to the list? LET US KNOW! Email: dali [at] SideQuesting.com or leave a comment below!
