Pos PAX Party at Jillian's

The 4th Annual Post-PAX Party at Jillian’s [SOLD OUT]

Info: PAX Forum

LocationJillian’s Billiards House of Seattle, 731 Westlake Ave. North, Seattle, WA 98109

When: Sunday, September 2, 2012 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM

*** This event is SOLD OUT. No more tickets will be available. ***

[PAX Forum user Arco] I have been throwing this party since 2009, and it’s become PAX tradition for a lot of people. I’m rather humbled by how well it’s been received and how much it’s grown every year. We started as 100 people in one room at the Taphouse, and have since grown to 250 people and a whole floor at Jillian’s. Over the years we’ve added more video games, more pool tables, ping pong, darts, and even musical guests. The Protomen played our stage last year. It was incredible.

This year’s shaping up to be even better. We’re upsizing to 300 people, we’re looking to put together an even more awesome musical lineup, and we’re going to have some really incredible prizes for the raffle.

So if you’re looking for an awesome way to wind down your PAX weekend, or go out with a bang and a hangover the day after, you should join us. Registration is live at the following link:

We’re all probably pretty exhausted from PAX weekend, so why not chill, grab a beer, and play some Cards Against Humanity (CAH) together? Special guest Max Temkin will be there for some meet-and-great and may even have some cool prizes to give out. This event is at a bar, so it is in fact 21+

Please share this event and feel free to invite others!
You do NOT need to attend PAX, know what CAH is, or exclusively drink beer to attend. Requirement: Must have sense of humor and enjoy stuff.

Oh right. For those who don’t know:
