“PAX West is where it all started, so I’ve always had a special heart for it. Plus, it’s about 15 minutes from my house,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX, Penny Arcade and Child’s Play. “It’s had a lot of names—PAX Prime, and even started out as just plain old PAX. It’s been in a lot of places, sometimes in multiple places at once. But this year we’ve put together a strong name that I can’t wait for you to see it.”
>PAX West will be held at the Seattle Convention Center during Labor Day weekend, September 1-4.
