Seattle Moving Day
Well, moving from Hotel to Hostel. It’s sort of a moving day. The hotel wasn’t in a great area, I think? The area about a block away towards the conference centre seemed worse, just from the number of clearly drugged-up people seen & count of meth pipes in use. I didn’t feel particularly unsafe, I’d…

Gen Con Day One – Thursday
With the JW Hotel Buffet non-operational & non-existant, I was forced to forage for breakfast. By which I mean that I got a breakfast sandwich from one of the ICC foodcourts, which was also an accessway to the skywalk to another hotel, and contained a few food carts or stalls. I am pleased to report…
