Arcade2026-04-26

Sunday evening — Vegas before the badge. Touchdown at McCarran, dinner with the locals, and a long detour through the Pinball Hall of Fame. The conference proper is still a day away; tonight is the warm-up. Camera out anyway — first frames of the trip are arcade cabinets, neon, and the slow lap up the Strip before everything turns into trade-show.

Industry Day2026-04-27

Monday is industry day — the B2B floor before the public flood. Sponsor build-outs going up, exhibitors trading cards over coffee, and a much shorter line for everything. Eight hours on the floor with the camera up: booth banners going vertical, swag stacks getting unboxed, panel chairs warming. By 6 p.m. the convention center looks like it's ready for tomorrow's crowd.

Conference Day 12026-04-28

Tuesday — Conference Day 1, doors open. The signal is louder, the queues are longer, and everyone has their lanyard tan by lunch. The frames below are Tuesday's catch — keynote runs, booth-walks, side-stage sit-downs, and the speeches that pulled a crowd. Thomas works the floor with @KennethBosak doing the hot-tub interview circuit.

Dispatch · Day Three

Conference Day 22026-04-29

Photos coming

Wednesday — Conference Day 2. Photos for this day are still being processed; the dispatch will fill in when they land. In the meantime, the tweet record places Thomas on the floor running into Vlad Costea (legendary takeover podcaster, did an interview), pondering whether a face across the room was Jesse Powell or Bono, and watching a Kraken-sponsored magic tournament unfold.

No photos have been processed for this day yet — the source folder did not contain any frames dated 2026-04-29 on the last sync. The dispatch will update when they land.
