Okay, I finally feel like I've caught my breath enough to get back to photo posting. Thankfully, I do seem to have managed to attend a major convention without getting Con-Crud. Yay!

On Thursday (12 June), I wandered over to North Market for the first time this year. I love that place... it's like a miniature version of Pike Place Market and it's just a few blocks from the convention and our hotel. I ended up getting some greek food for dinner, as I recall, but got really excited when I remembered the cheese shop, because in the past they've had a nice variety of goat cheeses. And, even better, they have something I've never found anywhere else... goat cheese curd! )

On Friday the 13th, a group of us ventured out to German Village... and had lunch at Schmidt's Sausage Haus. It was funny, because I was looking over the menu and some of the signs and it actually took a bit to realize that it said "Since 1886" and not "1986." I'm really not used to being in an area where things could have conceivably been around since before the 20th century! Two photos for this one, because I can't resist sharing a picture of the food. My first time trying sauerbraten. )

And then a photo out in front of the restaurant, with the lovely brick roads that ran all through that neighborhood. )

On the 14th, I managed to snap a halfway decent shot of the show floor over at Origins Game Fair. It was really interesting walking around and seeing so many new games and products that we already have because we pledged on the Kickstarter for them. A little freaky really... it's definitely become the way for game companies to finance new things.

Random gamers milling around the show floor. )

And on the 15th, I got a photo of the North Market when I stopped in for a late lunch. This was taken for the second floor, which has all the seating for folks who bought food and overlooks the main floor with all the stalls for shops. There were surprisingly few people around at that time of day. )
