The Best Part of PHP Conference Season Happens After Hours

After PHP Tek 2026 wrapped, a group of us walked into a slightly shady restaurant (some of us wearing hot dog hats) and were all tired but excited. The counter staff looked up, saw us pile through the door, and one of them just said, "Whoa." We were the only customers. Someone's two-year-old kid was there, completely stealing the show, charming everyone. It was loud and joyful and completely absurd. It was WurstCon.
