Didn’t have the post-con blues, but certainly had the post-con exhausteds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. Just kind of wandered around looking at the rapidly vanishing remnants of the con, and headed for the airport well in advance because I wanted to make sure to miss the end of  business day traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was still some Gen Con stuff at the airport, which was nice to see; Some tables where people were gaming, and the animated signs for the two security check areas still had Gen Con branding on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My flight was uneventful? Indianapolis International TSA staff were their usual chill selves, the flight got bumpy in places & the landing was rough, and the shuttle from the airport to my hotel took a while through kind of insane Vegas traffic, but the whole experience was fine. Nobody particularly upset, everybody just generally going with the flow of the thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m staying at the New York New York hotel, and the internal layout was a little odd to me, because you have to wander through the casino floor to even get to the reception desk, which I guess tells you a lot about their priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Final adjustments of the suitcases to get the weights safety under 50lb & roughly equal. I have no idea how accurate my little luggage scale is, so some wiggle room is a good idea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gen Con vanishes incredibly quickly, and it’s a bit disconcerting to see what was a full space turn into a mostly empty one in less than a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might go some way towards explaining the post-con tiredness, …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
