Outside the Convention - pick and choose!

• Pro Baseball games 7pm both all 3 nights
• Renaissance Faire - 6 miles from the Convention on Saturday and Sunday (am checking into hours of operation and something special for our group)
• Turbine Kidnapping Session - grab a Dev, grab some lunch, gab and fill your tummy (working on this one still, and hoping us West side fans don't get shafted on Team time)
• Tolkien-themed dinner and drinks at a local restaurant (this is in the works, but if it falls through we've still got a great steak and micro-brewery to patron - and we hope our Turbine friends will join us either way).
• Arboretum, Aquarium, and Zoo - all three within 10 miles of Bellevue.
• and much more...

I imagine we'll spend most of our time hanging out at the Convention, playing games, attending the various events, and chatting over food and drinks. There's a great amount to do in and around the Convention Center so there's not a chance anyone will be without something fun to do. We're looking into a lot more and hope to see many of you there.

A limited number of discount tickets to PAX are being offered through the Arda Post (click here), and we'll be posting updates on the AP as well as in the forums as we get closer. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I'll answer them as quickly as I can.
