The Penny-Arcade Expo opens tomorrow. For those not in the know, PAX is only 4 years old and has already grown to fill the Seattle Convention Center. I visited PAX last year (at Tycho’s invitation) and was very impressed by the crowd. A group of real gamers. 24 years old, future GamerParents, and enthusiastic, wonderful people. I’m hoping to get a few of them over here. After last year, I decided I wanted to hang with them some more. Read on for information on how you can see me at PAX ’07!

Sunday, 12:00pm – 1:00pm [ST B]:

Andrew S. Bub, a nationally recognized journalist and expert on video games and media violence, is talking “Game Sanity.” A mixture of politics, sense, and video game history just for the PAX audience! Come on in and bring your political questions!

Gaming with Children

Andrew Bub is The GamerDad, a nationally recognized expert on video games and media violence, and he’s bringing his famed “Smart Parenting & Violent Media” speech to PAX.

Saturday, 1:30-2:30 [ST B]:
I’m Getting Old: When Life Cuts Into Gaming
The average PAX-Goer is 24 years old. What does that mean? It means jobs! Responsibility! Mortgages! Kids! Families! And what that means is a serious lack of time for games. Hear from Gamerdad and others of the mature persuasion on managing their lives while still managing their raids.

Speakers: Brian Yeung (Microsoft), Andrew Bub (GamerDad), John Williamson (Zombie Entertainment), Mike Mika (Backbone Entertainment)
