No such thing as too much Protomen. This photo is from NickleEdge’s great PAX East set.
Oh cool, a Protomen stage photo from PAX East 2010. Wait… what’s that? OH RIGHT IT’S MY BIG DUMB HEAD.

As promised, here’s part one of the Protomen Q&A panel from PAX East last weekend, filmed by the fabulous kozue255 (whose concert videos you have no doubt already enjoyed). Parts two and three are also up, and we definitely see some familiar faces in each.
My big dumb head is in part two!
Without question, the best moment of PAX East for me. I get goosebumps just watching the video. For kicks, compare it to a similar one I shot at Santos Party house last spring. (You can also check out the rest of my PAX videos or the rest of my Protomen videos.)
or is that Ringo?
I’m pretty sure it’s Bakker, but it’s hard to tell.
Whatever, it’s late.
It’s Bakker. This was at PAX East 2010.
If you only watch one video from this year’s PAX East show, it should probably be this one. It’s a whopping 18 minutes long and features four complete songs: The State vs Thomas Light and Give Us the Rope (both rarely played in their entirety), plus How the Wolrd Fell Under Darkness (with Sir Robert Bakker conducting the Boston Massacre Five) and of course Breaking Out. Video by Emma, who seems to have been insanely close to the stage.
This is my favorite of my PAX videos, also. I had only meant to shoot The State, but then it was so breathtaking that I just couldn’t stop. I’ve seen 21 shows at this point, and I still got goosebumps at this one.
And yeah… I was in the VIP pit at stage right. One of the only things I abuse my special powers for is getting an awesome spot to see the Protomen. I ain’t ashamed.
We’d like to give a shoutout to truly hardcore Protomen fan ShutUpAndJamza. He’s such a total badass that not only did he attend the November show in NYC while undergoing chemotherapy, he rocked out in the middle of the goddamn pit.
He’s got an incredible thread going with more photos over at Reddit if you’d like to read more.
Here’s to you, dude. Your unquenchable fighting spirit is what being a Protofan is all about.
Guess what? It’s the five year anniversary of this post, which means it’s now five years I’ve been friends with this cyborg motherfucker right here. Because it turns out shortly after that Reddit thread we went to PAX together and gamed some games and attended some concerts and spooned with some robots.
There’s a pretty great update thread on Reddit that you should definitely consume. Here’s to not dying!
This seems like a good week (or month, or year) to be reminded that the internet isn’t always unceasingly awful. Right now my Twitter feed is basically a dumpster fire, but there’s also this guy who I met on goddamn Reddit of all places five years ago and now we’re friends and better still he’s also not dead.
I was watching Chris Pappavaselio’s sneak peek at his documentary footage from PAX East when I suddenly realized that I would probably be in most of the crowd shots. And sure enough: bottom right, glasses, red hair.
Last night was pretty much a perfect New York evening, the kind that makes me happier than I can say with my life as it is right now. And I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the evening of the 4th than at a picnic on the roof of the McKittrick, watching fireworks with friends & fellow drunks.
eleven years ago tonight! I believe this was the only 4th of july event the mckittrick has ever had, and it was also the first event held at gallow green.
