That Pokémon Go Fad

This week I’m in San Francisco.  We’re here for Casual Connect.  It’s because a bear’s gotta stay on top of the industry if a bear’s to keep his investment returns safe and sound.  So we’re checking out the talks and meeting partners.

Even though we drove here, Nicholas decided that we would walk 40 minutes through Japantown and the Tenderloin to the conference every morning.  Reason for that? Pokémon Go.

Pokémon Go is this game where you walk around to collect and capture creatures, and everywhere we went, hordes of people were playing the game. Hordes like 40 million daily users.

Find a landmark?  See a bunch of people.

See this?  Not pictured : that my bud was standing in a circle with about 20 other people doing basically the same thing.

Addicts.

Only saving grace is that we came across some bear scaffolding during our walks.

That’s right, I’m the pillar of strength that holds us all up.  Bud, take note.
