Wednesday
Getting up on Wednesday afternoon was actually more pleasant that I had anticipated. I had been scheduled to take classes at work Tuesday and Wednesday, and drove out Wednesday afternoon just after class was over. I avoided an accident on I‑94 (a tanker trailer had overturned and was burning, but fortunately it was east of the exit I was using) and took the Skyway (I‑90) into Chicago (I‑94 into Chicago has construction work), so I made the whole trip in under five hours. It was a little expensive (about $3.00 total) but a lot, lot faster.
That meant I was able to attend the last part of dinner at Toys, the Chinese place across the street from the Hyatt, where the Hero Games people get together and party that night, along with the Hero Auxiliary Corps, a group of Hero gamers who run official Champions tournaments at GenCon. HAC is (or was: they’ve disbanded this year after 15 years) run by Sue Grau, a real bundle of energy.
