A view of the river outside the convention center
I was planning to go to Worldcon 2015 (Sasquan) in Spokane on my own, but my wife was also able to get time off work. Yay!
We flew by plane and got there on Tuesday, a day earlier than the convention started. This was to unpack and get familiar with the surrounding area so we would be ready to start off when the panels began at 10am on Wednesday. Except for the difficulty and time spent at customs, security and getting to our gate it was not a bad flight.
We stayed at the Doubletree nestled right in the midle of the convention hall. We also lucked out and got a room on the 3rd floor, the same floor as the passageway to the convention center! Yay! The room also had a fridge so were were able to put delecate items requiring cold to keep them safe.
We were able to register and get our swag this evening so we would not have to worry about long lines. The Spokane convention center is massive!
We ate at Borracho's Tacos and Tequila (see link for details). Then went to Merlyn's Gamestore (see link) and finally the Main Market, a great small scale co-op grocery store with many local items. There is a lot of great shops and resteraunts in downtown Spokane.
