So, for those who have read my earlier posts then yes, you all know I am an otaku. I love anime and I recently attended to an anime convention (Anime Boston 2014). But this year, I got the chance to actually get one pass to going to Pax East. I never felt so lucky. 3 day passes went out after 5 to 15 minutes and 1 days passes such as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they got sold out in 1 hour. At the end, I got 2 Saturday passes (for my older sister and I) and so we went.
I was getting a little anxious when April arrived and when I came home from classes I got a postal mail from Pax and I finally got my badge and man… it looked amazing. So at that point, all i thought about was exploring it and playing games and getting as many free swag as I possibly can.
Then, it was that Saturday morning and I left my house along with other at 8 am and I also woke up earlier to shower, got dressed, make up, and pack a couple of sandwiches (because I heard the lunch there was quite expensive and fatty, but i ended up buying a donut burger anyway). From there, we drove to the Expo Center and parked then got on the bus and got in line to get into the Expo Hall (where all the awesomeness happens). So, I thought the doors opened at 8 but it actually opened at 10 so we waited in line for 2 hours, but it was worth it. There were people who came there a lot earlier, possibly 7. I got there at 830. People were lining up sitting, playing their 3ds, ds, card games, talking, naps, playing on their phones, taking photos until a little bit around 930, people started to pass around beach balls in the air. It was fun, but it wasn’t fun once your head gets knocked out like 3 times. Then the gates opened.
People walked in and i honestly did not know where to start. We started to walk around and got to the riot league of legends booth *that was important, we wanted free skins*… BUT WE HAD TO EITHER DANCED FOR IT OR ANSWER TRIVIAL QUESTIONS.
I decided to dance, so I danced the Ahri dance *run devil run*, EASY PEASY!! ❤
So from there my friends and boyfriend got separated to do our own thing for the whole day so I sticked along with my sister and we basically went to every booth, got free swag, bags, tee shirts, pins, and a lot of free codes for other company’s new games and even entered into their raffles. We played at least 7 games that day. It was AMAZING. I never knew how much I loved games until going to pax and actually sitting down and playing their demos. I love trying new things. After that, we met up and went to eat and my sister had to leave and at the end it was just my boyfriend and I.
It was our first time really going to a video gaming convention and it was great and fun and smelll…yy (?). After that I left to go to get more free stuff and walk around then I lined up for the Saturday Night Concerts and it WAS AMAZING!!
First it was the CliffNotes, they were a new band by sisters and their songs were so cute and funny and also clever.
After it was a rapper (pretty famous in the more nerdier side) and he was funny.
I was waiting for the last one and it was VGO (the Video Game Orchestra). THEY GAVE ME SHIVERS. THEY WERE WICKED AWESOME.
So I basically ended my night there and came home at 1 am or 2 am in the morning. I had a blast and i’ll try to definitely go next year for all 3 days and maybe I’ll also cosplay as someone from league of legends ans compete in the cosplay shows there too.
If you guys really want to find out more, just go to their website! It’s a great experience. I think I’ll keep going to pax for the next… 5 years or so. hehe!
That’s all for today! Nighty Night.
