I want to RSVP with things me or Negumi will buy but I can't see them. =( |

*In my best Mr. Burns voice* Eexxxccccelent, yes ,yes, tell me more of your plans. Patsies..er..accomplices..er fellow fans! have been recruited. The black panel van, stocked with Slim jims and Mt. Dew, will be heading east on I-80 very soon. Muhahahaha...(anybody know a good place to get chloroform???)
Remember, shortly after PAX East, be ready for a surprise Chicago area meet and greet at an undisclosed location (likely an abandoned warehouse but might be a Chucky Cheese)
The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!
Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!
Shhh! Rangle is plotting.
anyone from champion going? I have that weekend off and I live in NYC

I'd love to go but seeing as it's 6497 miles away, sadly I won't be able to make it...
My deviantART page (warning some images nsfw)
GGRRR Comic Series GGRRR Comics on Facebook
RSVP message sent, Hilton Boston Back Bay hotel reservations are confirmed, and the wife ("Clipp") and I will be there for the Meet & Greet!
Frantically looking forward to seeing our fellow ostentacious players, our freem-tastic devs, and the most auspicious Community Relations team ever (ok, Stan Lee's over-adjectivized writing caught up with me..)!
Edit: I play on any/all servers (mostly Freedom and Guardian), "Clipp" is a Champion server player most of the time.
I want to go! Anyone in Southern California want to carpool?

Boy, my son has sure lucked out! Travelling to Boston to meet up with friends from one of the many forums he is involved with only to find out that PAX East is sold out and now the Co* meet is restricted to those who are 21 and over (he's 19).|

Yeah, we hate to sound like wet blankets here, but a DragonCon or other more-Southeasterly appearance would be nice. It's all West and Northeast. Almost all of those bad rumors about the the southern US are either incorrect, out of date, or vastly overemphasized, we promise. |

I'd also be interested in a response to this. I certainly want to attend, but I'm going to PAX with a friend who's still only 20. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me stopping in for a bit, but I wouldn't want to have to ditch him for too long. =/

Asking because I'll likely have to leave for the Saturday night concert in the middle of all the fun, sadly. |

You (and the person above me) make it sound as if you are going there for the prizes.
If so...why go in the first place?
I certainly hope you have to be present and I hope the timing of it is a big surprise.
It would suck big time for those of us who are going there to actually "Meet & Greet" to see a bunch of great stuff given away to people who couldn't stick around for more than ten minutes.
Its going to be a ton of fun!
Why worry about what you're going to get out of it.
I'm going to get a good time.
If I hear my name or number called it will be a bonus. But it's not going to effect my good time in the slightest.

I'm getting mixed signals here.
I'm of the attitude that if I win a door prize, great; if I don't, well, that's par for the course. And while I'm fine with however the Paragon folks decide to handle it, I wouldn't begrudge anyone winning a prize if they could only stop by for a short while because there was something else going on at the same time and they couldn't be two places at once.

Because I already know I'm going to have a fun time with great food and that I'll get a chance to buy great CoX merch. But since I probably won't be able to stay the whole time, I'm curious about the one point that's unclear.

Likewise. The prizes would just be a bonus. If I can't be around for them, so be it, and I wouldn't bother even getting a ticket to save the rest of you some hassle of looking for me/redrawing.

I didn't get an "Undeliverable" message, but I never heard back from them either. Not that I expected to.

[QUOTE=Dinah;2697100]Anyone else get a bounceback from emailing rsvp@paragonstudios.com?
No bounceback on my end. And I sent in my RSVP when they first announced the location.
No reply either...so far.

I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on

Got a reply yesterday - I assume that volume is slowing down any responses to us.
IMPORTANT ITEMS THAT I JUST FOUND OUT IN THE E-MAIL:

Looks like I am going to the event solo - looking forward to meeting you fine folks, having some fun and getting the scoop on GR!

Please be aware that Jillian's Boston will not allow patrons to wear hats, athletic wear, sweatpants, windpants, sleeveless t-shirts, or construction/work boots at its location. Unfortunately, Jillians cannot provide us a connection for our credit card machine, so please be aware that all purchases for CoH merchandise will be CASH ONLY. We will have some change but recommend that you avoid bringing really big bills if possible. |
Go Team Venture!
I got my reply at 2:08 AM ET this morning, which was 11:08 PM PT last night. I would say that these were just a form e-mail reply, but mine was different from the one BlackSun17 got - for example, mine didn't mention the bar's dress code. Which makes me wonder if EMPulse was sending these out one at a time and semi-personalizing each of them? Late at night, on a weekend, to boot!
Thanks for posting the dress code, Blacksun.
To any Community Relations folks that might be reading this - do you know if it's OK for patrons to bring in backpacks? Like if someone was to head there right from the convention?

I wrote back to EMpulse, and this was her response:

| Im assuming it is fine as it isnt listed on their website as a no-no and Jillians has not mentioned anything to us about it. Plus, I am assuming that even though we will be providing bags for merchandise, some people will want to bring backpacks to put their loot in. So, Im going to assume its okay! |

Thanks Mousey for checking into that.
I appreciate it.
Our City of Heroes® PAX East "One Day Pass" Contest is still open until Thursday night so if you are coming to the Boston Meet & Greet anyway, why not participate in the contest and grab one of our passes to attend the City of Heroes panel and see what PAX East is all about.
As I was saying in the Contest thread, don't worry if your Photoshop'ing skills aren't up to par with some of our talented forumite artists. As long as it makes us giggle, we'll consider your entry!

TopDoc and I will be there. No reply to my RSVP email, but no "message undeliverable" either.
Well, this is TopDoc we're talking about. TopDoc would respec to gain 3 points of damage per day. - Arcanaville
Not a bummer at all actually.
