PAX Registration and Hotel - Alright Dudes Let's Make Some Decisions



Some as was previously mentioned, PAX early-bird registration has opened to the public. The PAX site has finally opened and the news and forums posts have begun a-flowing. You've got until March 31st to reserve your pass for only $40 so let's go on it.

But, who's going? Let's get a running total going, or at least 5 confirmed dudes so we can get a room reserved before they're gone. Last year it was a matter of weeks before the first hotel was booked solid. Looks like the average PAX rate for the three hotels is $169 a night, which is $340 if we stay Friday and Saturday night. Divide that by five dudes per room and that's $68 per dude. That's a pretty good deal!

I'm also interested in taking the train up to Seattle this year instead of giving my first of kin to simply park. If anyone else is interested in utilizing public transit, let me know. We can work something out.
