"PAX West is where it all began, so I'll always have a special heart for this one. Plus, it's about fifteen minutes from my house," said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX, Penny Arcade, and Child's Play. "It's gone by many names – PAX Prime, even just plain old PAX at first. It's been in many places, sometimes even multiple places at once. But we've put together a strong one this year and I can't wait for you to see it."
>PAX West will be held at the Seattle Convention Center over Labor Day weekend, September 1-4.
