I don't know if you guys want to just overlook the series of PAX Posts. It looked like a lot of fun out there. My favorite was the girl dressed up as a monk...

If there's any proof there's a clear division between the sexes, this is it. If a guy dresses up in costume, it's usually viewed as odd or geeky thing to do. Yet, if a lady does it, wow! It's a beautiful thing.
Speaking of geeky, what do you think of Guild Wars the Card Game?
I think PAX represents the future of Gaming Expos... smaller, but fun! Heh... but it still makes me wonder, "Why doesn't this stuff happen on the East Coast?"
