The second day of PAX has been an adventure. We ran into a lot more Pokémon fans and did a lot of advertising for the site. Although, it has still been a bit harder than I was expecting/hoping. The easiest way for us to find people was to actually walk around with people in Pokémon costumes and give fliers to the people that stopped them for photos. Arcanator and Dragoon Master brought cosplay outfits with them. Arc dressed as a Team Aqua grunt and Dragoon dressed as Professor Elm. Needless to say, that worked out well.
We were also able to get interviews with a few cosplayers and other interesting people at the con. For example, we happened to run into a few people who work for a little company called Pokémon USA. Yep! Justin made quite a catch by talking to a guy with one of the new Dialga and Palkia DS Lites, who happened to have worked for the company. I don’t want to give away too much here, but you will learn more about our experiences with them on the next podcast and in a few videos we recorded. I will start posting that stuff on Tuesday.
Speaking of the next podcast, we recorded it in Arc’s hotel room tonight. It is mostly a random jumble of PAX thoughts and impressions. In addition, we did an interesting impromptu live Blaine’s Gym segment. Overall it was really cool being able to have multiple staff members on the show to record a regular episode. (KC was sorely missed though!)
We were really productive today and I hope we get even more done tomorrow! JoeC is leaving early though, so he said his goodbyes as we left Arc’s room. I am not looking forward to having to say my goodbyes!
