What are you doing with the 4th day?

    I don't know whether to start a new discussion thread with this or just ask here. For those PAX-vets, what do you plan on doing with that extra day? Prime 2012 was my first one and by the end of Sunday I had seen my fill. I know with the extra day I'll be able to do a little more risky exploring of the expo hall and definitely go to more events outside the hall, but I'd like to know what preliminary plans y'all have made.

    Tabletop and more tabletop. =)

    I think this can live on its own. This will likely be an active discussion in and of itself.

    For me, I might actually do some Expo hall. I generally stay entirely away from Expo since it's my least favorite thing at PAX, and with time constraints I rarely want to spend time in there. The extra day may entice me to do some booth hopping.

    Probably see more panels throughout the event. Since there will be more time and I won't miss out on tabletop and floor time.

    More of everything.

    More boardgaming, more console gaming, more booths, more panels, more meeting people, more drinking and eating...

    More post-PAX depression.

    Probably more time on the expo floor. I know last year I barely spent any time there because I was panel hopping the whole weekend.

    Might see if I can get in some time at TT freeplay, too. =)

    I will be doing a lot more table top this year. I don't think I will be planning something for the extra day. But use it to be able to do more each day. Also I figure any long lines for something you want will be much shorter on Monday.

    I normally shy away from the expo hall, due to how crowded it is, and my love for panels. I think I'll use the Monday as my non-cosplay day, to just relax and enjoy that area. Perhaps more table top. Perhaps more shenanigans.
    I think I need a bath. Do you think I need a bath?

    I usually roam the Expo Hall 30mins prior to closing on the last day to snag any free effortless swag Companies don't want to haul back.

    Last year I was just trying to leave the hall to meet some friends and Capcom gave me like 5 posters and a shirt on the way out.

    I might use the 4th day to live in the Indie Megabooth. I never get around to spending enough time in there since its inception at East '12.
  • BadNews65BadNews65 Registered User regular
    I don't guess I saw this mega booth and prime last year... I spent some time in the indie section and played some great games... But mega booth? I did not see? Perhaps I am making mega to be larger than it is?

  • VangardeVangarde SeattleRegistered User regular
    I always spent my last day trying out the indie games and finishing up the long lines that potentially wouldn't be so long anymore. But yes, definitely try to pick up all the free swag that exhibitors don't want to bring back.
    It's also the day I spend time actually trying to draw something cool on the Fangamer dry erase board.

    The Indie MegaBooth is a collection of booths, not one ginormous booth. You were probably there.

    As for me, more Enforcing.
    Is it PAX East yet?

    I'll echo most everyone else by saying I'll probably be spending my time in the expo hall unless something else is announced for Monday.
  • JamieODJamieOD Registered User regular
    I'll check out anything I missed which judging from last year will be the indie booths and tabletop area. Maybe if the LoL tournament is still going on I'll spend a few hours spectating the matches. Although I am curious to see what new panels will pop up now there is an extra day.
  • JeppyJeppy SeattleRegistered User regular
    Pretty much hitting the expo hall.

    The same thing we do every night, Pinky

    Try to take over the pool area?

    Given how bad my feet were killing me Day 3 of East, I'm guessing taking short walks and sitting a lot.
