Third PAX headed to Austin, Texas?

A third Penny Arcade Expo has been strongly hinted at, and may come to Texas capital city Austin. Speaking during the Penny Arcade Panel at Comic-Con this weekend, Penny Arcade webcomic artist Mike Krahulik responded to a fan question asking if PAX would expand to Austin, Texas, saying the company is "aggressively exploring a third PAX very near you."

Currently, PAX events are held on both coasts of the United States: PAX Prime in Seattle, Washington (usually at the end of August) and PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts (historically held in March or April). No information was provided as to when a PAX event in Texas might be held.

If PAX does come to Texas, it will be the third major gaming event in The Lone Star State, joining the annual Game Developers Conference Online in Austin (October 9-11 this year) and QuakeCon in Dallas, which will be held this August 2-5.
