PAX Prime checklist

Demoman costume?  Check!  Just a few little touches, but otherwise it's finished!

Media equipment?  Check!  I've got a couple batteries, a ton of memory cards, tripod, monopod, LED light, interview mic, USB mic, laptop, and chargers.

Ability to listen to the OU - Utah State game on Saturday?  Check!  I just downloaded the WWLS Sports Animal app for my Blackberry. 

Karaoke Party Set-up?  Check!  The lovely and talented Lauren AKA OboeCrazy was good enough to get the Banquet Permit for the first Wandering Gamer PAX Kick-off Party at Seattle's Best Karaoke @ 9pm!  If you can read this, you're invited!

Finally, here are a couple of press releases I literally just got!  AM I DOIN THIS RITE?

Hi –

This is Richard with the Microsoft Surface team.

As you prepare for PAX West this weekend, I wanted to give you a heads up on a few different locations where you can experience Surface at the expo!

·         The Settlers of Catan – Located in the Catan booth in the exhibition hall, the Surface gaming sensation first shown at Origins and Gen Con Indy is finally coming to Seattle. At PAX, the Vectorform team is presenting the game with new updates as they continue to collect feedback from users and provide them an opportunity to play the classic board game through the interactive, collaborative experience that is Surface.

·         Penny Arcade Sales – Located near the PAX sales desk, visitors can utilize Surface as an important purchase tool as they bypass the typical salesman for a retail experience designed specifically for PAX.

·         The Complete Package – In the hall near the console freeplay area, Surface Senior Digital Manager Eric Havir will be bringing a personalized unit featuring some Surface favorites, including several gaming and conference-focused applications. This is the perfect opportunity to check out Surface in person and get a taste of some scenarios Surface has played a role in enhancing.

Let me know if you have any questions and if you’re interested in meeting up with a member of the Surface team on-site. Eric will be around throughout the show and available for more in-depth demos, and Vectorform will also have folks at PAX for further discussion around Catan. I’d be more than happy to connect you with the right spokesperson.

Best,

Richard
