OK, so today I've got a lot to tell you guys!

Have you been feeling this undeniable pull toward Boston lately? You know, like a dawning sun get brighter and brighter? That would be PAX EAST 2010 -- the biggest gaming conference to greet the east coast in ... well, I don't really care how long, only that it's hitting my side of town next week and I'll be there!

From the site's FAQ (and for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about ...) : 'PAX East is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we've got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX East is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.'

Will Wheaton (bazinga) will keynote the event guaranteed to be resplendent in geeks of all shapes, sizes, RPG- and console-preferences. I feel like the mother ship is calling me home. Anyway, here is a list of the scheduled panels and events. I'll be at as many as I can fit into a day (and possibly a few), and Gamer's Edge blogger Jim Dumas will be joining me for a joint-blog report on the coolest news, trends, celebrities, dice colors, funny t-shirts ... you name it, we'll be soaking everything in!

Could I be geeking out more over this? Oh, I haven't even gotten to the cool part yet.

On tap (and impetus) for the weekend is a special treat: Details are in the works to get some face-time with G4's Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb from the network's 'X-Play'! I'm so psyched to bone-up on all the need-to-knows before I meet these gaming rock stars for a two-on-two interview directly form the show floor!

(PS-- I can neither confirm nor deny that I have the total hots for Sessler. Were I putting my money down on a side, I'd go with 'confirm,' though. Wowzers... This should be interesting.)

Got some great ideas on what questions we should ask Sessler and Webb? Which panel should I be sure not to miss? Email your ideas to me NOW at ByteSized@Captivate.com so I can be sure to cover what you guys want to know!

OK... whew, so that's my big news :) I am physically incapable of thinking about anything else other than PAX EAST 2010 at the moment, so I'm foregoing headlines today with the hope you all will fill my inbox with ideas and requests and fun stuff and ... gah!

Have a wonderful weekend, and rest assured assured that I'm stressing out over which of my gaming t-shirts I should wear, and what I should talk about with two obvious experts, and how I should corner a Wizards of the Coast rep and snag myself a job editing the DnD 'Players Handbook 4' -- wait WHAT?! :) Nevermind, I didn't say that ...

LOLz -- see you Monday!
