The first Penny Arcade Expo to be held outside of the Seattle area is shaping up to be quite the awesome event.  Of course, did you expect anything else?  It's looking like PAX East in Boston will have over 60,000 attendees.  With the event being about a month and a half away, we were starting to wonder where all the performers and exhibitors were.  Not that we were worrying or anything!  We now wonder no more, as the initial list of those performing concerts and publishers/developers who will be exhibiting has been released. The list below contains the announced concerts and exhibitors, but it absolutely not exhaustive.

You can also look for the DualShockers team to be descending on Boston for this very event the last weekend in March.  If you're a regular reader, keep coming back for more info and if you're new, make sure you bookmark us now!

I'm sure we can look forward to more information coming down the pipe between now and the end of March, as well, but this is the list for now.  Again, I emphasize this isn't necessarily a complete list, it is simply what has been announced this week.
