Day 1 Justin and I are currently chilling at our hotel after visiting Penny Arcade Expo East. Some highlights of the event thus far:
So far it’s been an amazing event and it’s only the first evening. Day 2 |

We got to the Hynes relatively early, enjoying the slightly-warmer-than-yesterday weather. We arrived too late to get wristbands for that evening’s concert, which was disappointing but I was more accepting than yesterday about the fact that we weren’t destined to see everything. Saturday was Friends Day for Justin and I. We met up with Juan (future contributor here on LGOD), his kids, and Tom and Tracy Marston. We then wandered around the Expo Hall for a while, checking out in more detail the stuff we had breezed by on Friday. Some product highlights will be detailed in separate posts here, but some highlights for me:
We broke for lunch at which point I realized I hadn’t taken my pills for the day, so I walked back to the hotel and got back just in time to get in line for the Rooster Teeth panel. Highlights of that panel
Wow, could we take any more? But yes! We had a delicious dinner at PF Changs, where Justin and I talked with the Marstons about getting a D&D campaign going. Everyone seemed excited about the prospect, so I decided to head back to the con after dinner to see if I could buy a DM guide. We passed the Main Hall where the concert was getting set up to find out it was wide open. We guess that after the wristbands ran out in the morning everyone decided they wouldn’t bother trying to get into the show, and thus there was plenty of space. Highlights of the evening concert:
