The view from my room is pretty damn good; Slept with the curtains open, partially to wake up with the dawn to force some timezone adaption, but also because, from the 30th, floor, it’s quite a view.

There was a triathlon going on out there, though they were swimming in the canal, not the river. Probably a sensible move, given what I’ve been told about water quality in the White River.

Was finally brave enough* to try Biscuits & Gravy. Not unpleasant, like a light unsweetened scone served with peppery bechamel sauce.

* though I’m told that this isn’t brave, it’s just jet lag making me think I should try a thing that looks like a cat was sick on an afternoon tea service.

Didn’t really do much today; Wandered through the ICC, which is still mostly empty, with isolated patches of Gen Con stuff being set up.

One of the hotels now has a very American feature wall.

Took a while to notice that they’re all a bit different, but I’m not sure whether they’re historical or artistic. ( or both )

And I found a way to slowly charge my phone.

I think it’s the socket. No sign of anything stuck in there, and it keeps stopping & starting charging even when nothing in the area moves. Probably a loose connection.

In any case, I can at least charge the damn thing overnight, and thus get roaming data wherever I am, and not have to go find a hotel lobby with free wifi & hope that the ( old ) phone doesn’t lock up because it all got too difficult.

The old phone is very old for a smartphone. I keep it around because it’s what my NZ sim card fits, and for emergency situations like this. It’s slow, but relatively tough.
