We parted, knowing that we could check in with each other on Slack. Unpacked, settled, rested. Free wifi at Paramount Hotel is 3.74 Mbps down, 1.25 up, 17ms ping—fair for a hotel, miserable compared to our Sonic fiber connection at home. Walked one block to the convention center. Along the way while waiting for a streetlight to change a local woman said something to the effect of how terrible Seattle had become. I don’t know what prompted it. Found the DrupalCon registration desk. Entered the exhibit hall. Got my free drink: I chose red wine from a winery called Ryan Patrick.

I stopped there for snow crab and pork xiao long bao and a sweet black tea: about $20.
