Here at HQ we had begun to worry for the safety of the crack team we dispatched to infiltrate the grand annual colloquy of the American Institute of Achitects in Las Vegas. Repeated pings brought silence; Sheri's Ranch was searched. Then we got this cryptic report:

wattage so low there's no need for blackout shades. fred schwartz and michael arad had a tussle at the "power of memorials" seminar. calatrava's here. many confused after session on "demystifying general conditions." big talk: the gutter. yawn.

Unsatisfactory! You're telling me 30,000 architects get together and you can't find a punchline? That's it—we're pulling the plug on this whole operation. After the jump, the team photo of the Vegas Guttersnipes. Find them, architects, rid them from your midst.
