Back to happy news. My buddy in Seattle has been e-mailing around regarding Penny Arcade Expo. The following e-mail exchange is part of that process . .
ORIGINAL MSG SENT BELOW + REPLY....

Hello! I can't seem to find the PR email for Sega of America online and I think you're the closest to talk about this. (or you can forward this to the proper personnel?)
I was wondering if the Sega Booth for Pax would need any assistance from me (and maybe a few friends?) in our Valkyria Chronicles cosplays/costumes?
We are all big fans of the game and have all made our own unifroms. I would very much like to help Sega booth any way I can, however the 3 Day Passes are all sold out and no way of getting in. I would be very honoured if you would allow me to help promote and if you would like a certain number of my other friend to help as well, I could contact them.
I appreciate your time!

Hey there!
I looked to see if we could get you guys any passes, but sadly it looks like there's no way we can get any more, even though we will have presence at the show.
That said - if you guys will be there on Saturday night, we will be having a SEGA Party at Gameworks, and I'd love to offer you guys VIP passes to get in early at 6PM. We will be giving away some special VC2 promo swag there, too, and having you guys on-hand would be absolutely awesome. I've seen some of your cosplay before and always thought it would be great to get a spotlight for you on the official blogs.
If you guys will be in the area (sorry again that we can't get you passes, I did try), you're welcome to bring as many people as you'd like - the more gallian uniforms, the better!
All the best,
Aaron
Needless to say, negotiations with the supervisor are now underway to let me get out of town that weekend . . .
