Build A Better Mall
It was dinner time when we arrived back at the hotel. Rather than risk baby meltdown by going somewhere, we hit the hotel sports bar Knuckles. A tasty enough place with one little quirk. I had ordered a personal supreme pizza for myself, and the pizza that came out certainly had a bit of everything on it. In particular it had garlic, whole cloves of garlic. Each slice had 3 to 4 cloves cooked to the texture of a mushroom. My breath was a force to be reckoned with.
Now armed to repel an army of vampire invaders, we caught a night trolley to Union Square for a peek at the night life. In particular I wanted a quick tour of the Metreon. I wasn't really sure what it was, but I knew that Netopia had done its WiFi as a publicity stunt.
The Metreon, is a collection of stores that represent the geekiest parts of me. It's as if they asked me what stores would motivate me to shop in a mall. Obviously Clair's and The Buckle aren't going to make an appearance. No, this store had multiple table top gaming stores, comic book stores, a PlayStation store, a Sony Electronics store, and a ridiculous spy gadget store. To top it off there was an Open Source Java convention being hosted on the third floor.
It's Holy Ground, giving Geeks and Immortals alike, sanctuary.
