Yeah, even if I had the means to make it to PAX East (which I don't), I'd still be aiming for PAX Prime. Not only is it closer to me, but I'm also expecting to see more of you guys there. Like I've said, I'm going to PAX Prime this year if it kills me.
If I had to choose between them, I'd definitely go for Prime over East. But given that East is only a $28 bus ride away for me now, and there's a good chance a London friend is flying in for the weekend, I'll probably hit up East for at least the Saturday.
Would absolutely love to see you guys at Prime! Only about 10 months to go...
I'm going to be there. I now have more game costumes than there are days of PAX, and several of them are mutually exclusive in terms of hairstyle, so it'll be interesting to decide which ones I'll do
Cheapest I found from where you are is $200 (return) and 22.5 hrs (each way) on train/bus, via NYC.
If you were to fly, $317 and 2-3 hrs on a plane gets you to and from Boston. Since $388 would get you to Seattle and back, if it was me I would hold out for Prime.
...is that not Easter weekend? What an odd time to schedule it. Surely lots of people are busy?
Yep, Easter weekend. From what they said on their website, it wasn't their first choice. Actually works well for me though with the Friday being a holiday (provided life stuff doesn't mean I end up in Australia at that time).

If you want some input, we would of course be willing to help decide!
If I decided to come to either next year, I would have to make it the only holiday of the year (ie. no Rock/Metal festivals - my other passion) and not take that year-long live-in job on the Isle of Wight. Damn I hate being this side of the Atlantic!

Plus I could never afford it...
Oh yes!
You reckon you'll for reals make it happen?
You know what this means don't you?
Getting blind drunk and writing our names on each others arse?
Excellent!
I'm up for the first one at least, depending on how well that works I guess the rest is a possibility.
I'll sign yours "Jed woz down under"
I'll sign "You crack me up, little buddy!"
HAH! It'll be an honour scrubbing my hole red raw to get it off.
I'll definitely do Prime 2012. Too many cool people will be there not to.
It'll be the social event of the season!!
It'll be my first time in America, so expect a lot of inane social commentary from me.
"THE MONEY'S SO SMALL!"
"THE PORTIONS ARE SO BIG!"
"EVERYONE KEEPS WISHING ME A NICE DAY, HOW PLEASANT!"
...as I said, i've never been before.
