Things are calming a bit in the Event Center. With registration closed the field is only getting smaller now and half the room has been cleared out. Just in time for Flight G to get off in little more than an hour.

We found Eric Rivera at it again. The visitor from the north is building another stack with 175,000 at the midpoint of the day. Rivera had a big stack in two other flights but was unable to ride to a Day 2 seat, hoping to change that today.
