131: Pax Unplugged 2023

In this episode...

Aaron and Kellye tell Adam all about their experiences at Pax Unplugged 2023 in Philadelphia.

Additional notes:

• The Pax merch was available online after the convention, but only until December 7th. We heard that they were selling last year's merch at a discount during the convention, so that may be true again in 2024.
• Restaurant cheese whiz is typically used for classic cheesesteaks. Grocery store cheese whiz is different, and contains less cheese. The original cheese whiz made in 1950 was aiming to imitate welsh rarebit.
• Pax U counts attendance by gate entry (3 Day pass = 3 attendees) but Gen Con counts by unique entry (3 Day pass = 1 attendee). Pax U 2023 attendance was over 30,000 and Gen Con 2032 was over 70,000.
• The restaurants we went to were Terakawa Ramen, Prince Tea House, Pho Street, and a variety of stalls in Reading Market.
