As per Con tradition, we slept in on Sunday. Not because of wild parties on Saturday night, but because we were a bit tired, and we could, and there wasn’t anything scheduled on our agenda.Today’s surprise on the Press Room menu was a nice TexMex chili. We haven’t noticed many Mexican or Latino restaurants in the city (although paprika is a common spice in the local cuisine), so we’re formulating a business plan. Me, I suggested we get the Taco Bell and Chipolte franchises for the common market, and then create nicer restaurants for the connoisseurs. I think the casual dining market is also underserved. Perhaps the locals prefer the independent restaurants which cost about the same.
Today was spent with more wandering around, and making sure I didn’t overlook anything. Our “Jamie Olsen” will have more and better photos soon. Until then, enjoy my cellphone photos. (Just pretend you’re reading these on Facebook…)
Frühstücksbretter (breakfast boards, to hold a simple sandwich) about 10 x 6 inches wide, along with drink coasters. The company? “DC Universe”. Yes, even for the Marvel and Asterix items. Good luck trying to find their website!Many retailers (and a few in Artist Alley) offered surprise bags. This one had bags for specific fandoms (Resident Evil, Call of Duty…) and even Asian snacks! (It’s a bit of a Japanese tradition!) I guess it’s better than the “50% off all trades” strategy at American cons…Yes, attendees could high dive onto an air cushion.The rules for the Bag Jump. COMICS!
A very slick German-language magazine for cosplayers. “Cohoku“
