came back from the bathroom at work to see that not only had badges went on sale, but 4 day badges were gone completely. Trying to look like I'm working while watching my hope fade away in the queue on both my phone and my laptop was one of the most nerve racking experiences in my life, right next to the 14 hour twitter binge for the Reach Beta early codes.

But, I came out victorious!

...but, I am re-posting here.

1) I am considering opening a section for HBO/DBO PAX Participants within Args.Bungie.Org, just like 2011. Anyone fine with this?

2) IF I get tickets (At this point, a VERY BIG IF), would anyone be willing to share their room? And at what cost?

Passes are selling out quickly...HURRY.

4 Day Passes are gone, as are Saturday Passes. Friday and Sunday Passes are running out, but, hey, Monday passes seem to be in good supply for now! ... :\

I guess this is what happens to people who don't have a smartphone and/or sleep. Usually I would get a couple of extra 4 Day Passes (or 3 as it were) and see if there was a friend who couldn't get one in time. Oh well...

Pretty astounded to see these things sell even more quickly than they did last year, to say the least. It's times like these that I really love the scalpers who buy them out and sell them for quadruple the price on eBay. :)

My other project will be leading me to a number of different conventions this summer (hopefully), so I can't afford a PAX trip this year. Two-in a row was pretty amazing! And while I love Seattle and I'll miss all my internet friends, me and Maddie need to take a few vacations NOT there, hah. (We've gone four times since college. Now we need to go other directions and cross some waters.)

Next time we DO make it to Seattle though, we're staying. :)

When I first got out of the car back in Missouri from our road trip to the Northwest, I looked around incredulously and said, "What the $#@$%?? Why are we all living out here!!?! There's a place over there with mountains and seas in every direction and trees that are always green! What were we thinking???"

From a Seattle PI article...

"Considered an active volcano, Mount Rainier is a dynamic mass of earth and elements that generates its own weather, kills people almost every year and swallows entire airplanes and helicopters -- over the decades several have been left on its shoulders to disappear. That's why the mountain is sprinkled with place names like Cadaver Gap and Disappointment Cleaver."

Perfect.

To add to this...

by uberfoop @, Seattle-ish, Friday, April 19, 2013, 17:14 (4235 days ago) @ NsU Soldier

"Considered an active volcano"

Here's Rainier as viewed from Queen Anne Hill in Seattle.

[image]

That little guy I circled is called Little Tahoma. He's a volcanic remnant. Long ago, he was part of the mountain, and now exists as a separate peak thanks to an eruption. The reason we don't see a regular old crater there is that the mountain's volcanic activity has reconstructed the mountain into a more normal mountain shape (albeit blunted thanks to the whole "I erupt sometimes" thing).

Look at the picture.

I'm going to go ahead and let that sink in.

katancik
MrPadraig08
Xenos
Grizzlei
Kermit
Beorn
Schooly D
Lionheart
Tex

Also, Chewbaccwakka and I were brainstorming about it, and we might (work and life permitting) make a road trip out to Seattle for PAX weekend just to hang out with community members and chill in Seattle. It's only a 5ish hour drive from Spokane, and meeting and hanging out with you guys would be totally worth it and a blast!
