Had to change rooms, or at least potentially change rooms, for my last reservation of the three today. I could have gone down & checked, but since I’m going to have to pack things up anyway, it seemed easier to set up to leave the room completely.
Housekeeping, or maybe the housekeeping supervisor, intercepted me in the elevator lobby on the floor to check whether I was checking out. By the time I got to the front desk they were already turning over the room, so I needed to go into a different one for the one night stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I swear it’s a new room. One floor down & a smidge further along <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one has a fridge. Also a hearing impaired doorbell, but not an accessible bathroom <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Various messages between Kevin & Frank & I sorted out a plan for the afternoon & evening, and I mostly just killed time during the day & tried not to feel too down about the end of the con & impending end of the holiday.
Had cheese curd things from A&W at the mall. Realised that I never did get to Buffalo Wild Wings; That’s fine, I was always doing stuff with folks, and I like that better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the signs are tired<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gaming Halls deserted & empty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They pushed back their chairs, cleared the games off the tables, took their games away, then took away the chairs and tables.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last pieces of clearing out in the Exhibit\/Vendor Hall <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Put myself outside Victory Field for pickup by Kevin, in the most obvious shaded spot I could. It worked out well, because the place he was planning to stop was blocked with roadworks; he was just wondering what to do when he spotted me & swung in for the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out at Kevin’s ( Frank met us there ), played Frank’s poo-flinging monkeys card game, then a “vampires taking over the city” game of Kevin’s. ( Masters of the Night https:\/\/www.dicebreaker.com\/games\/masters-of-the-night\/news\/gather-your-very-own-family-of-vampires-in-co-op-board-game-masters-of-the-night )
Turned out to be a lot more strategic than we’d expected. We only got through two of the three decks of events before people had to go home for sleeping purposes – it was, after all, a school night.
Mac & Cheese for dinner, with peanut butter brownies, all prepared by Amy.
( and they gave me another enormous bag of peanut butter m&ms )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
