Leaving Town On A Monday
Didn’t have the post-con blues, but certainly had the post-con exhausteds. Had a very leisurely morning, packing up the room and doing a final check and rebalance of the suitcases before checking out and storing my bags for a few hours.

Sunday: Predation & Closing
The day started with VIG swag; Well, technically with a shower & getting dressed, but then VIG swag. There was a lot of it, but I have essentially no luggage space, so Naomi+Jay very kindly swung through the JW in their truck & took it off my hands to give it a good home. We’d…

Monday
Also image heavy, so they’re behind the cut. This was the day that Tom arrived downtown, so I met up with him & Dawn for breakfast, once he’d got set in his hotel. Before that I was wandering the ICC halls & getting a few more pictures.

Saturday & Sunday
A whole lot of images here, so I’m putting them behind the cut. Saturday was pretty much the “stay awake while the sun’s out” day, to try to adjust to the new time zone. Hung out with Naomi+Jay (whose place I was staying at), and then Tom. Sunday was a … Is it a cookout…
