I agree with this poster 100%. I missed the Saturday A.M. session muster by a few and felt rather s.o.l. However, my small misfortune turned positive when I was unexpectedly invited to an open gaming session with Paizo's lead designer as the GM. That was the best time I had at Paizocon. Gaming with staff > boon. (gaming with staff who are cool even better)
Mad props to Paizo for not deifying your staff and to Mr. Bulmahn and his illustrating associate, "unknown named guy" for being awesome dudes! I had a blast.
