This sculpture? Terrifying.<\/strong> I understand it\u2019s meant to be a celebration of famed basketball coach John Wooden, but what I see is a man driven to the ground in confusion as the upper bodies of the people around him are vaporized, possibly by aliens, possibly by inimical laser-wielding robots. It\u2019s just deeply confusing and concerning, if you ask me, Indianapolis. And you just put it out in public like that.<\/p>\n

Questionable sculpture aside, Indianapolis and GenCon have been lovely so far. Tomorrow is the big day for me, programming-wise, so this evening I will probably take it easy. I hope your first weekend of August will be delightful.<\/p>\n
