Seattle,
Washington -
June 27,
2007 Penny
Arcade today
announced
that exhibit
space is
sold out for
its upcoming
Penny Arcade
Expo (PAX)
gaming
culture
festival,
officially
tripling the
size of
exhibit
space from
previous
years. The
4th annual
event, which
moved to the
Washington
State
Convention &
Trade Center
in downtown
Seattle this
year in
order to
accommodate
interest
from both
exhibitors
and a
rapidly
growing
number of
attendees,
is slated to
take place
August
24th-26th.
"We thought
that by
tripling the
available
exhibitor
space, we'd
have enough
room for
everybody. I
guess we
were wrong."
said Penny
Arcade's
director of
sales, Mike
Fehlauer.
"We do our
best to
throw a
kickass
party for
the gamer
community,
and so we're
grateful--and
relieved--that
the response
has been so
positive.
Exhibitors
and
attendees
alike have
decided that
PAX is the
show to
attend; it's
the only
place where
you'll find
tabletop,
console, and
PC gamers
and
exhibitors--plus
concerts,
tournaments,
panels, and
freeplay--under
the same
roof, with
no BS."
On the
exhibit
floor, PAX
'07
attendees
can expect
to try their
hands at
yet-to-be-released
games and
products
from

including
Nintendo,
Microsoft,

Arts/Mythic,
Harmonix,
Foundation
9, Sierra/Vivendi

the Coast,
