This was a day of walking.<\/p>\n

Melissa and I got up early by convention standards, but not quite early enough to get a full breakfast. \u00a0We wound up getting muffins and coffee from the lobby Starbucks. \u00a0Then, we hit the street and walked to the convention center.<\/p>\n

We made it just in time to meet up with the Walk with the Stars group. \u00a0Every WorldCon has one of these in the morning. \u00a0It’s not a race. \u00a0It’s more like an amble, or a mosey. \u00a0We walked along the path into the park area. \u00a0We crossed a bridge and looked at the water flowing. \u00a0We saw ducks. \u00a0And we visited with other people attending the convention. \u00a0The exercise made the blood flow, and stretched our muscles, both physical and social.<\/p>\n

After the walk, we sat down and let our legs rest. \u00a0I wrote yesterday’s post. \u00a0Then we were back on our feet, and attended a number of panels.<\/p>\n

Throughout the early part of the day, my head ached. \u00a0The pain washed over me in waves, distracting me. \u00a0By 1PM, Melissa and I went back up near registration, and picked up teriyaki bowls for lunch. \u00a0After eating, I felt a bit bitter.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a couple more panels. \u00a0As usual, I took notes, which I’ll decipher at a later time, and post on this site. \u00a0By 4PM, we made our way to the art exhibit and looked at all the pretties. \u00a0While in the dealers room, I ran into Jennifer Brozek<\/a>\u00a0and got to pick her brain about a panel I knew she was on that I was going to miss.<\/p>\n

Melissa and I walked back to the Davenport Tower, dropped off our bags, then went and had dinner at the Red Robin. \u00a0Then we made our way to the bar where Drinks with Writers was taking place. \u00a0We ran into some friends and familiar faces, mingled, and drank a little.<\/p>\n

We stayed out as long as we could, but after being on our feet for so long, we were exhausted. \u00a0We were closer to the convention center than our hotel at that point, so we made our way to the center and caught a shuttle. \u00a0We retired to our room, foregoing the parties altogether.<\/p>\n

I don’t remember walking this much at previous cons. \u00a0Maybe it’s selective memory? \u00a0Sasquan is really spread out, both in terms of where the panels are located, and where the hotels and parties are taking place. \u00a0I’ll have to talk to Michael about previous WoldCons he’s attended when I get home, and compare notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
