In this talk, I describe the process by which the progressive larp company Jackalope, founded by Matthew Webb, developed interest in larp as art in Texas and the surrounding areas. I will discuss how Jackalope generated buy-in from the larp community, and ran several successful bespoke larps, including The Night In Question, which will be entering its fourth run in September.

The main costume event is Saturday’s “It’s tacky but I love it!” party, so think corny and fabulous, but please don’t stress! Everyone’s here to have a good time, so wear whatever makes you feel great and/or comfortable.

The party spreads from Night club and the Sober Kitsch Room to other spaces.
