It is Sunday night and I am on a flight home from Boston, MA. You might be be wondering what it is that I was doing in Boston, or you might not. If you were one of those few wondering, well thanks. I had made a very special trip last minute trip.
I had gone out to PAX East 2010, the very first PAX on the east coast. Yes I am aware that there is a PAX on the west coast and I live on the west coast. So why on earth did I go clear across country for this PAX and not wait until PAX Prime?
There was one reason above all: Paul and Storm. Another question would be who are Paul and Storm. Well follow that link and find out! In my opinion they are a super cool funny band that I feel in love with musically upon hearing them at w00tstock v. 1.2 at the Largo. They play catchy songs that make me giggle and just in general make me happy. I am sure everyone has a different feeling when they listen to them but we still love them all equally.
Of course this happiness feeling that I get from Paul and Storm I get from other favorite people / idols of mine, all which are geeky or nerdy in their own right. Why don't I list those now? Gotta show some love, ya know. This would be Wil Wheaton, Adam Savage, Grant Imahara and one that not many would understand because he is (not yet) full force in the geek / nerd community, Jonathan Davis. I bet you were expecting I was going to stay Jonathan Coulton and he comes in right after JD.
So back to the story of my reason for going to PAX which somehow involves Pail and Storm. So one unexceptionally slow day at work, I was perusing my Twitter feed. As I am scrolling down to follow up on the recent but past tweets, I notice this tweet from Paul and Storm, whom I have been following since wootstock.
Does anyone out there want to work merch for us at PAX East in exchange for weekend passes? Email us: info "at" paulandstorm.com.
So who in their right mind would turn down this opportunity to help work their merchandise booth with them as well as get a chance to go to a convention that they would not otherwise be able to attend. Not this girl! Especially since I am a Paul and Storm lover, later turned minion.
The fact that Wil Wheaton (my biggest television crush since middle school) happened to be giving the keynote at PAX East made me soo very excited for him. I have been following his weblog and tweets for sometime now. He would write about the amount of work he was doing for this keynote in hopes that he would top his 2007 keynote. So out of nowhere, something that at I would never-have-a-chance-in-a-million-years to see, I now have a slightly more probable chance to see. This was just sooo exciting, it was hard not to run around with the pure possibility of it.
I am now enjoying some Jasmine Green tea, which a very nice thing to have on this flight. Especially with the amount of turbulence that is going on from time to time throughout this flight. The tea has also helped my brain and hand slow down from the pace it was going about 5 or 10 minutes ago when I started this blog.
Sorry for the tea interruption, appears as though I have trailed off into my own happy thoughts. I am trying my best to document all of these experiences before we land so that I can simply type them into my Google Documents and get them posted within the week. It appears that this will be my breaking point for part 1.
Until next time, thanks for reading. Whoever you are.
