Would there be any possibility of you guys getting a PaizoCon that is East of the Mississippi? I live in Tennessee and it is next to impossible for me to get to Seattle, as much as I would like to go. The US is a big place, so I really think that a second convention for the other half of the country would be great.

While I'm not a Paizo staffer, I'm going to peer into my magic 8-ball here....
"Very doubtful"
Geez, the 8-ball is so cold, and insensitive. :(
Honestly, I see this question posted every year here, and the answer is "No plans to do so at this time" or something similar.
I think PaizoCon would need to reach GenCon or PAX size before there would be consideration of needing one in the East.
However, I can completely understand the request. PaizoCon is truly something special.
Bump.
Maybe not official, but is there some kind of unofficial east coast offering?

Part of what makes PaizoCon special as a convention is that all of the Paizo staff is there to run games, panels, interact and hang out with fans. Trying to get the entire company closed down and sent across the country is just too expensive in both time and travel costs, especially since we already have Gen Con where most of our staff heads each August.

Very true. However, there are a LOT of Paizo and Pathfinder fans out here on the East Coast! ;) Maybe something could be arranged with our help and just a few Paizo staffers could come out?
There are also quite a few Pathfinder and 3PP freelancers here on the East Coast that could get involved. Heck, if we could be sure to have many of the East Coast 3PPs and freelancers, one or two Paizo staffers and lots of PFS it could be a nice little con...
In fact, I'd be curious just how many Paizo and 3PP freelancers are out here?
I can start the list ... I'm here (Pennsylvania)!
Mike Welham, Christina Stiles, Steve Miller, and I are all in the NC/SC area.
In fact, the upcoming MACE convention here in Charlotte, NC has Jason Bulmahn as a Guest of Honor, and all the aforementioned people I listed above will be there, too. It's scheduled for November 15th-17th. And I know they've got a pretty solid Pathfinder Society gaming experience setup, as well. It's about as close to a PaizoCon East as we've managed so far. But there's also a strong Pinnacle Entertainment Savage Worlds draw, as well, since they've got Shane Hensley (president of PEG) bringing in a large contingent to celebrate their 10th anniversary at the show. Anyone who'd like to rub shoulders with these folks should head our way. It's a major gaming con with a solid track record, but also small enough that it has a very PaizoCon-esque feel to it.
I'm in new york. Comic con is now!
