Cerulean attended this con on Saturday May 25th. He writes:

As I did not schedule any demo space, time, or promotional activity, I went to the con as an unofficial Rabbit. Wearing my lab coat anyway, I hoped to be identified as a Rabbit, which I was. Another lab-coat-clad attendee with two children in tow met me on the dealer floor. Her kids squealed "Look, he's a rabbit too!". She tried to talk me into Werewolf, so I can presume that Werewolf was happening elsewhere at the con later that evening. (She was also carrying a handmade copy of Fluxx 1.0.)

There was a games dealer present in the dealer hall, selling a variety of con favorites, including Fluxx 3.1, Treehouse, Chrononauts and EAC, and Zombie Fluxx.

I spent most of the day in the game room. My ulterior motive was to playtest my game prototypes, though any LL promotion I could work in would be a bonus. I did manage to play UberChrononauts with a close friend of mine and two passers-by, and met a lurker from the mailing list who was teaching Zombie Fluxx to others. Instead of a lab coat, the latter fellow was garbed entirely in black. My friend and I later played Martian Coasters, but it was late and I don't think anyone noticed.

My prototypes went well with con-goers, and I hope to press them into publication in the future.
