More Than Three Acres of Gaming Lets Gamers Do It All

Dragon Con, celebrating its 40th year as one of the nation’s largest gaming conventions, brings together game designers, voice actors, and streaming stars for panels and live events alongside one of the Southeast’s largest collections of playable games.

Highlights of this year’s programming include:

·         Game designer and astronaut Richard Garriott, a guest at Dragon Con’s first convention in 1987, will discuss his efforts to regain control of his pioneering video game Ultima.

·         Celebrity Dungeon Master Mark Meer will lead a new D&D Live with the cast of Hades II, including Amelia Tyler, Erin Yvette, Jason Marnocha, Judy Alice Lee, Becca Q. Co, and Ashley Barrett.

·         Popular Twitch streamer AnEternalEnigma returns to perform his Silent Hill speedrun showcase.

An estimated 75,000 attendees are expected to descend on downtown Atlanta for the five-day convention held over Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 3 – Sept. 7), filling the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Marriott Marquis, Hilton Atlanta, Westin Peachtree Plaza, and Courtland Grand Hotel, as well as AmericasMart Buildings Two and Three.

Covering more than three acres in AmericasMart Building Three, Dragon Con’s gaming floor offers something for every kind of gamer, latest hit video games and international arcade cabinets to rarely seen board games and fan-favorite tabletop titles. “Every corner of Dragon Con’s gaming hall offers a new adventure,” said David Cody, senior director of Gaming and IT. “You can challenge friends in a tournament, try a game you’ve never heard of, meet the people who helped create the games you love, or join an epic tabletop campaign. Whatever kind of gamer you are, there’s a place for you here.”

As always, Dragon Con offers a place to connect, learn, and play. Panels and discussions led by some of gaming’s most influential designers, developers, and voice actors take fans and gamers alike inside the games they love to play.

New this year, Dragon Con will feature an expanded footprint of Virtual Reality equipment that supports multiplayer games, giving gamers an only-at-Dragon Con VR experience.

After the sun goes down, the Heroes & Villains Ball and the 8-Bit Bash give gamers a chance to unwind and celebrate their favorite fandoms.

Fans can explore traditional arcade cabinet favorites and from across the Pacific in the ever-popular Japanese and Asian arcade game section, all free to play for convention members.  Atlanta’s own Joystick Game Bar returns with a pop-up version of its retro arcade in Peachtree Center Mall.

TIO LUCHO’S SETS THE TABLE FOR PERUVIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 7/23/26

Atlanta’s First Peruvian-American Restaurant Celebrates with Limited-Time Specials, the Return of the Fan-Favorite Plancha Platter and Four Days of Festivities

Saturday, July 25 through Tuesday, July 28 

Tio Lucho’s is bringing one of Peru’s biggest celebrations to Atlanta with four days of fresh ceviche, pisco cocktails, seasonal specials and the return of the fan-favorite Plancha Platter in honor of Peruvian Independence Day. From Saturday, July 25 through Tuesday, July 28, James Beard Award semifinalist Chef Arnaldo Castillo invites guests to celebrate the holiday at Atlanta’s first Peruvian-American restaurant, where every dish reflects the flavors, traditions and hospitality that have shaped Peru’s culinary identity.

For Castillo, Peruvian Independence Day is more than a national holiday. It’s a chance to share the food and traditions that inspired Tio Lucho’s while welcoming guests to experience the culture that continues to influence every aspect of the restaurant. Throughout the weekend, the celebration will feature fresh ceviche on the patio, seasonal specials, festive cocktails and a dining room dressed in the colors of the Peruvian flag with red and white décor and carnations.

“Peruvian Independence Day is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives us the opportunity to share a piece of Peru with Atlanta,” says Chef Arnaldo Castillo. “Whether someone has been eating Peruvian food their whole life or they’re trying it for the first time, I want them to leave with a better understanding of our culture and the hospitality that has always been part of it.”

Back by popular demand, the Plancha Platter returns after becoming one of last year’s most requested specials. Built for sharing, the feast features an 8-ounce New York strip steak, chicken and fish anticuchos, grilled tripe, crispy potatoes, choclo corn, chimichurri and huancaína. The platter will be available throughout the weekend, offered during his Monday Hermanita pop-up on Monday and served again on Tuesday, July 28, the official Peruvian Independence Day.

Tio Lucho’s is located at 675 N. Highland Ave. NE, Suite 6000, Atlanta, GA 30306. For more information or to make a reservation, visit at tioluchos.com. Stay connected at @tioluchos on Instagram for updates and happenings. 

GREG MENDEZ ON TOUR PLAYING AISLE 5 ATLANTA – AUGUST 1

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 7/17/26

RELEASES NEW ALBUM

BEAUTY LAND 

TODAY VIA DEAD OCEANS

EXPANDS 2026 TOUR DATES

WATCH VIDEO FOR ALBUM STANDOUT “SO MEAN”

Photo Steven Yang

“In less than two minutes, Greg Mendez can express a lifetime’s worth of pain, regret, and resilience.” -Pitchfork 


“It’s at once a grandiose and understated… Mendez’s severe lyrical specificity opens up entire worlds in which the listener can find themselves.”
-Rolling Stone

“In Mendez’s hands, coming to terms with the worst of times has led to music so grippingly human, you’ll want to hear him grapple with his demons on an endless loop.”
-NPR 


“Mendez’s unrefined, plaintive voice, his piercing melodies, and his conversational but haunting lyrics all mark him out as one of the best songwriters to come out of a city teeming with great songwriters.” -Stereogum

“The best songwriters can take visceral moments from their lives and bend them to the palettes of the people listening to them unfold, so they can inject themselves into these spaces; Mendez’s ability to leave that door cracked for the rest of us is what makes him one of our subtlest geniuses.”
-Paste

“Nakedly honest and gently strummed indie rock confessionals.”
-The FADER

“Sweet, melancholic, and perfectly understated”

-Consequence

Greg Mendez releases his anticipated new album, Beauty Land, today via Dead Oceans. On Beauty Land, Mendez perfects his raw and quietly devastating sound, as evidenced by the album’s singles “I Wanna Feel Pretty,” “Gentle Love / Frog,” “No Evil,” and “So Mean,” released today alongside an understatedly heartbreaking video directed by Luke LeCount, shot on 16mm film in Wildwood, NJ and at Minimart in Philadelphia, PA.

On the album, we’re guided by a wry but forgiving narrator, an underdog who has learned to balance cynicism and faith. These songs are self-effacing without self-pity, carefully constructed altars of imperfection channeled through pop melodies, shimmering but urgent guitars, and a voice that reaches for choir boy innocence.

The bulk of Beauty Land was recorded directly to tape, almost entirely alone in Mendez’s makeshift home studio in Philadelphia – a small room with no natural light. It’s his first full-length album since his unexpected breakthrough self-titled album in 2023, which was a slow burn success following 15 years of writing and recording music in relative obscurity between Philly and New York. Beauty Land picks up where we left off three years ago – plumbing the depths of grief, love, and addiction – but its intense, quiet clarity shows Mendez at his songwriting best.

Mendez is touring across North America this summer in support of Beauty Land this summer, with just-announced dates across Europe this October and November. Tickets for all shows are available now via gregmendez.net. All dates below.
