The summer game-pop culture convention season is in full swing in the US and it will end on Labor Day weekend with Penny Arcade Expo 2009. Today the organizers of the largest video-PC game convention in the US announced that legendary game creator Ron Gilbert will be making the keynote speech at PAX 2009 in Seattle, Washington.

Gilbert is best known as the main designer behind the classic LucasArts adventure games Maniac Mansion and the first two Monkey Island games (the latter of which is being revived). Currently he is a design director at Hothead Games (the same folks who created the first two episodes in the Penny Arcade Adventures downloadable titles) where he is working on the long-in-developnment game Deathspank. PAX 2009 will be held Sept 4-6.
