IFC Day 3: My Day Good and Bad

Ahmar Wolf

Yesterday was the day of my 3DS Streetpass panel. Frankly, only getting 4 hits during the entire con I was more than a bit anxious.

I was told i could enter the room and set up early. Then, as i did one by one, they came.

I think we topped around 40. Then the number of hits exploded.

I can’t tell you the number i missed.

Now for the frustrating bit. The escalator between the 2nd and 3rd floors stopped working. Plus the crowd. All i wanted to do is drop off my gaming gear in my room then join a comedy panel.

Never made it. I am sorry to say it took nearly an hour to run a simple trip.

Which cascaded in to me missing 2 game show panels. All because there was no place to sit down.

That was also the reason why i missed the 7pm panel i wanted to see. The room was packed.

Did find something to do.

Hopefully today is simpler.  Did managed to sleep 8 hours. Shows you i was exhausted

Last Day.

Do have a few things planned.

Yesterday during the Sponsor Dinner 

A memer of the staff admitted it was a record GULP attendance. Closing will give us the exact number.

IFC Day 2: Fresh Start

Ahmar Wolf

The one thing I had to do was get my badge and con swag. Did that the very 1st thing. Then on what they need to hand me for my panel.

An envelope with 3 sheets of paper. But I was given a chance to explain my panel.

Speaking of which.  Streetpass hits have be spare only had 4 so far as of this post.

I think my biggest highlight was the GOH Panel.

And Floor Wars

Had a typical time. Missed some planels. But all was good

My Panel is today fingers crossed

Restaurant Reviews: Lincoln Square (Pancake House)

Ahmar Wolf
I have heard a lot of great things about Lincoln Square all the way in Chicago.

Located at 150 West Market Street.  It does not disappoint.

Fresh Ingredients and staying away from mixes. Makes Lincoln Square a refreshing delight. Reasonable prices and incredible food. Makes this place a must visit, time and time again.

IFC Day 1: The Endurance Test.

Ahmar Wolf

My day started at my apt and ended in a room bigger than my living room.

After not getting much sleep. Greyhound

The bus was nice. I almost feel guilty complaining that when we made a stop at the train station. It took nearly an hour to load a wheelchair passenger.

So after nearly 5 hours. We made it to Indianapolis. Only to discover not only the heatwave. But my simple walk to the hotel was blocked by construction. Had no choice took an Uber.

Literally nothing prepared to what i faced next. The crowds of which since my last MFF.

There really wasn’t much to talk about. Other than i sat behind Artimus Wishfoot during the Opening Ceremony

The Badge and Why I Don’t Have One Currently
Reg opened very slow. I heard instead of opening at 9pm it opening at 10. The reason for the balcony photo. The reg line went all the way around the 3rd floor.

By now tiredness and lack of sleep was getting me so I went back to my room.

And slept.

1st thing on my list today is get my badge.

Restaurant Review: Steak N Shake

Ahmar Wolf
I went to the Steak N Shake at 101 W Maryland and it was a delightful surprise. Everything was great and I paid less than what the same meal would of cost at McDonald’s
