Second and Final Day at GDC
Rebecca Fortelka
Thursday was my second and final day at GDC. The day started a little later because the Expo did not open till 10 AM. We left the house at 8:00 AM. Traffic was relatively light and we made it to downtown San Francisco by 9 AM. We parked in the same Garage and got the same handicap spot, which told me today was going to be another great day! We made the trek to Moscone South and this time it was...
