Chicon has started
Aug. 30th, 2012 07:14 pmAlthough I didn't get to the opening ceremony.
Spent Wednesday at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. On Tuesday, I saw all those paintings by Seurat and Lichtenstein and co. On Wednesday, I saw the Mythbusters' chicken canon. The museum has a Mythbusters exhibition at the moment.
In the evening I found there was the traditional pub crawl but a number of us found we hadn't got the stamina to get to more than two of the pubs. By the time everyone left the second one, a pub stocking German beers someone in the north of Chicago, it was gone ten thirty and I felt like getting some sleep instead of going on to the next pub. Didn't feel too bad this morning.
So things gradually started up this morning and I got to a programme item on maths and bought a first edition Padgett/Kuttner before doing a couple of hours working site selection. It took me the first hour of the shift to work out what I was doing. The rest of the team on the shift wouldn't let me validate my own ballot. Before I started, I delivered the jaffa cakes I'd smuggled across so that they could be taken up to the party suite which was coming available at that time. Off there after I've had something to eat.
