I want to attend a #PAX next year, need to save for it. Hope to take Amtrak from Chicago, but might fly, we'll see. I love trains.

Saw some posts in r/PAX that #PAXEast leans a little more towards indie games—which would be my preference—while #PAXWest leans a little more AAA. Does that seem right?

However, I have friends in Seattle, so West could be much cheaper. What else should I know about while planning (been to a lot of comiccons, but not a gaming con)? Tips? Experiences?

@InfiniteHench one thing to factor in is East’s date varies year to year whereas West is always Labor Day. I’ve never been to West but I imagine both will be a bit more indie centric as a result of the pandemic. One thing to note is Bungie never comes out to East.
@benwu Oh that's all interesting. Does Bungie attend West?
@InfiniteHench I think they have fairly often as they are local to the Seattle area. I don’t know if they do every year.
