Penny Arcade Exchange (PAX) announced that they're ready to give the whole live-in-person convention thing a shot to close out the summer and the excitement and anxiety feels palpable!
PAX West as it's called now celebrates the world of gaming and game culture. You'll see tons of people comitted to their fandom and tons of great cosplay. Or at least you did until the Pandemic ruined everything.
Now, with hope giving way to optimism and eagerness, the Seattle Convention Center and PAX producers ReedPop will see if we're ready to get back to in person fun September 3-6th, 2021.
Emerald City Comic Con already plans to return having missed two iterations of the convention now with dates set for December 2-5th, 2021.
A couple things that stand out: 1. there's masks will still play a part - maybe work this into your cosplay? 2. there's no mention of vaccination requirements.
