Ratings:
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

A popular aspect of PAX East is Cosplay. Cosplay was inspired by beloved video game characters, anime icons, and pop culture references. The creativity, skill, and passion of cosplayers was on full display and Joseph Iacono captured some of it for us.
