Gencon Day 3: Part 2
One of our favorite Gencon traditions is to drop by the South Bend Chocolate Factory store on monument circle and have a slice of their colossal cake (see first photo). Always a yummy treat and large enough for three! (We had the leftovers Sunday night.) We then headed over to the Mall next to the Embassy Suites to hit the photo booth (another tradition) but it wasn't working... Durn...
We headed into the walkways (habitrail as some call it) and headed to the Auction for one last swing through the Auction Store. As we headed down the escalator, I could see a sea of people in the main hall (likely as the Vendor room had just closed). (See second photo.) We did the swing, found some stuff (a box of Heroes V cards, for the card/board game, for $2; a 2nd Ed Character Law for Andrew) and then headed back to our room for supper.
Heleen retired for the night. I did a brief visit to the charity Auction (bid on some stuff but did not win anything - 2nd year in a row ... :( ) and then retired as well.
