Slept pretty well, in chunks.
4h, then 2, then blocks of an hour for a while.

Breakfast buffet was in operation, though I recognised NONE of the staff. Not surprising for multiple years away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went hunting for a suitcase\/bag.
The ICC is deserted, in the corridors at least, though there was some setup or breakdown going on in the main halls; lots of table surrounded by chair setups, like a conference dinner, or the RPG rooms at Gen Con. Same setup in the smaller rooms too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circle Centre mall looked almost abandoned. Everything was shut, though that turned out to be because they weren’t open yet, not because they’d closed for good.
Only place I could find with cases or bags was TJ Maxx, and they were more expensive than I’d hoped for. Still, after conferring with Izzy, a $99 hard shell case is an OK option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Come The Mummies are touring <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many conversations with Frank over FB Messenger to figure out a plan for the day, given that I was awake enough to do something.
They fell apart a bit because of a family reunion he had to go to, but eventually we caught up, chatted for a bit at the bar in the JW, then headed off to Bonefish to meet Kevin+Amy ( and Roy, who I’d met once before, and Ben, who was new to me )
Bonefish lasted a good long while, and it was a fun time. Kevin+Amy are going to a fancy-ass wedding in Tennessee instead of Gen Con.

Got back to the hotel around midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
