As you can see I will be very busy. I was suppose to attend something else on Friday evening, but I have decided to cancel that as I need some “me” PAX time to hang with friends or do whatever. I have some freetime on Sunday as well to just wander the floor which I am looking forward to. If there are any questions you would like to me ask of any of the developers, please email them to me at jules@party934.com and they will get asked.
Once I return from PAX, interviews will be played duing my Geeky Pleasures radio show on Party 934 as well as posted here.
Another reminder: I will be collecting donations for Child’s Play as well as handing out buttons to those brave enough to serenade me. So look for me as I run from one interivew to the next.
Woot! Less than 24 hours until I leave for Seattle and begin the insanity and awesome that is PAX.
