The GN team had an incredible time at PAX East 2011. There's nothing quite like walking around for 20 hours in a day, writing dozens of articles to keep up with new hardware and games, and then laying down in a massive auditorium to watch Paul and Storm to finish the day.
If you're planning on attending PAX East 2012 (and if you aren't, you should go sign up NOW!), here's the list of bands playing throughout the weekend, as announced by Gabe:
Friday, April 6th:
- Video Game Orchestra (VGO)
- Protomen
- Metroid Metal
- Minibosses
Saturday, April 7th:
- Supercommuter
- Paul & Storm
- Jonathan Coulton
- MC Frontalot
The auditorium is truly gargantuan, so I don't foresee any issue with it being filled to capacity. I highly recommend Paul & Storm, Jonathan Coulton, and VGO.
