I rode the first A3C shuttle of the day from the Melia Hotel to the Edgewood Avenue area, because two of the showcases there were supposed to start at 3 PM, “supposed to” apparently being the operative word. I found that both outdoor stages were in the process of being set up, but nothing was going on in the way of performances yet. I was pleased to see that for this evening, the city had closed Edgewood from Jackson to Boulevard, and a large enclosure featuring a huge outdoor stage had been set up on a vacant lot between the Joystick gaming bar and Mothers. I walked around for a bit, but when I realized that this would be the best night for me to meet my stepbrother and his family for dinner, I caught the shuttle back to the hotel.
