Editor's note: Last weekend's Bitmob meet-up at PAX East was a huge success. We had more than 30 community members show up over the course of the night! Check out A.J.'s photos of the shenanigans below. (Also, take a gander at Jeff Grubb's meet-up photos here.)

Thanks to everyone who came to the event! We hope to see you at future PAX events. -Brett

We had an great time getting together at the Pour House Friday night in Boston as part of PAX East. Armed with a camera borrowed from the Duquesne JMA department, I took some pictures of the night's festivities. Drinks were consumed, random prizes were awarded, and many great people finally got to meet face to face. Many other people were snapping pics as well, so I'm sure more will show up.

At first, I was like, why is Jeff Grubb winning EVERY prize in the giveaway? Then I realized he was helping hand them out. :)

Thanks for these pix! Wish I could've been there....

Hey, I posted these last night after operating all day on 2 hours of sleep after a straight shot 10 hour drive. I'm working on it. ;)

Also as some of you may have noticed, I was a bit drunk during the evenings proceedings and I'm having trouble remembering some names. Hopefully we'll get everything filled in there today.

Someone should have shot a video of all of you singing Wish You Were Here.

Oh there was singing...but it was 20-30 nerds singing happy birthday to Brett at the top of their lungs in the middle of the bar

I'm really bummed that I'm missing all the cameraderie and alcohol imbibing going on at PAX.  And all of your tweets aren't helping matters.  But I guess I can be their vicariously through photos; so thanks for that A.J.

p.s. Chris wears that Diner Dash apron quite well and Jeff should try out for the part of Shaggy in the next direct-to-DVD Scooby Doo flick.

I must have missed the Minottis earlier in the night.  I actually stopped by initially right at 7, but it took me ten minutes to realize there was a downstairs.  I didn't really see any recognizable faces or a roped-off section, so I left to go eat elsewhere, and then came back later at about 8:30 and found everyone.

It was good to at least meet a few Bitmobbers, and hopefully I can spend more time with more people at Pax Prime.

I wish I could have stayed at the meet-up longer! But I have to say, I was glad to meet my Word With Friends nemesis there!
