PAX East 2016 - A summary of prep and execution up through Thursday - the day before the show
Heyah, Friends!
I have thoughts about PAX and I feel like there’s more that I have to say than can fit in a Facebook post, so I’m dusting off my old LJ. Who knows, perhaps I will get back into the blogging spirit and update regularly again. (Back about a decade ago I used to blog daily but that kind of ended when I started the Movie a Day ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So a while back I promised a post about the Escapist Expo which Amanda and I attended last month. And here it is! I've decided to write this post in the form of a series of links, so if you really want to understand what I'm talking about you'll have to do some clicking and watch some videos.

Magic the Gathering
So back at the beginning of last month Amanda and I went to Pax East for the third time.
