Evacuating my bowels in excitement

As I sit in my chair in my office, with the lights off, I mentally prepare for the day ahead. Today, I'm preparing to mentally prepare for the weeks coming events. If you are unaware of this weeks events... anyway, it's the gaming mecca that is the Penny Arcade Expo. That's right, once again PAX is taking over Seattle.

If you aren't in the know of PAX... *sigh*... it's a three day tabletop/handheld/console/PC gaming convention held, now, in the Seattle Convention Center. It is a glorious three days filled with nothing but gaming and gaming related activities. Gaming tournaments, gaming free play, panels of speakers of gamers who make games, video game music concerts, and video game movie screenings (good ones... like The Wizard or Fist full of quarters)

Now that I write that out loud, it does sound a bit insane to those of you who aren't gamers. And yes, it does border a bit on obsession, but that's why it's such a grand event! I'm sure being packed into a crowded convention center with over 15,000 gamers geeking out on the newest releases, betas, alphas, and gammas would terrify any non-gamer.

And so I shall be spending these next couple days preparing for the holy gathering that is the Penny Arcade Expo. I shall be cleansing my mind, body and soul. As in death, I shall be evacuating my bowels in excitement. Like many other gamers, whom I'll see for 3 straight days, I need to take a shower.
