PDC this year will be huge, but it actually looks mildly subdued. I’ll update this with pictures and general experiences as time passes.

One thing to note: the process by which this post was generated is highly experimental. It’s a system we also plan on using during the keynotes, during some of the sessions, and during the days themselves. The timestamps which you may see are not representative of when they occured; rather, they represent when the post was updated with the labeled information.

Check the break for pictures and very quick analyses of different happenings today.
