Tales from CubsCon: Opening Ceremonies Set the Tone

I arrived to the Sheraton around 4:30 and made like a salmon against the river of blue being sluiced through the lobby and surrounding hallways. As luck would have it, Rundown writer Mike Canter was right there at the check-in room and we were able to get our passes together. While I’m very grateful to the Cubs for providing me with a media credential, I do have a bit of a gripe with the logistics of said item. Rather than a lanyard or even a simple string, the media cred is affixed to the holder’s clothes by an adhesive strip.
