Will, great post. PAX Prime 2010 was my first. My wife went to PAX east on business and vowed to return with me when it hit Seattle. One of my high points was having the Mrs. suddenly develop an intense interest in D&D, and watch you play a a game in the "Hidden Level" area of the convention center. I don't recall what it was, but it had a large 3D castle. It was either Friday or Saturday afternoon. Anyway, had a blast, and we'll be in Boston this March, time permitting!
