PAX '05 Tops 9,000 In Attendance

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-fruit-fans dept.

Gamespot has word that this year's PAX convention saw more than 9,000 attendees. The runaway success of the Penny Arcade Expo has led them to make plans for an East Coast PAX sometime in 2008. From the article: "In fact, he said that expansion plans are afoot. Not only will the Bellevue convention change locations next year, Penny Arcade plans an East Coast version of PAX in 2008, specific location as yet undecided. 'Actually,' Khoo comments, 'most of our readers are on the East Coast.'"

  1. The East has Plenty of Conventions by iridium_ionizer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Back east there are plenty of conventions to follow. Put your fork here. Be introduced all proper-like. Don't get soup in yer beard.

    It's out here in the West where we don't have many of yer all fancy conventions. The only one that I know of is that if yer gonna kill a man, kill 'im yerself. None of that new-fangled "hire your nephew Tony the Weasel to plug him."
