VOURbot is back, this time with a PAX poem?
Oh, thy vast PAX and all thou containest,
Are the Blue Man Group allowed here?
Could the myriad costumed marvels compete with thy moist face and piercing yes?
Behold! the crystal valves swing wide to the throngs, rising, rising to the fourth tier, past the piecing shrieks of those not daring to roll the dice at their toys of destruction
Past the darkened cloz filled to the sickening perimeters with not our father’s, but our grandfather’s joys
And on to the festive throng of bag hoarding jigglypuffs, winding through the gym like a perverted Nokia snake left to grow forever ‘neath the neon glow of the warehouse ceiling.
Oh, magic abounds!
How I yearn to know the feeling of holding yonder unknown spheres in my heart! Teach me! Explain the secrets of life! and how to diminish the damage of an enemy’s attack!
I don’t care if shmups be mysteriously absent.
There are platforms upon platforms of joy to behold as the platforms of the convention center are navigated
And secrets beyond measure as new zones are discovered
I can’t be bothered! I must see another!
Hello tender warrior, where is thy mother?
“At home sir! alone in the upstairs, and I in the down,
It has been my luck and pleasure to wear her sweet gown!”
Alas, the hour has grown late and the hors-duevres have been ate, the robots sliced and bleeding and the party was great.
But, tis time to return to home’s melancholy gait
Till the gathering is proclaimed next august twenty eighth
The registration for PAX EAST opens in the next month or so (east.paxsite.com) and takes place in Boston, MA. It runs from April 6th-8th 2013. If you have never done the PAX and you are on the east coast, it IS the place to be. I’m sure I’ll be hitting Seattle again for the Prime in the fall of 2013.
