CARDS AGAINST LI-CON… part deux
Saturday night, come try your luck with our guests, as the audience battles to see who is the most horrible person.
Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Each round, one guest asks a question from a Black Card, and participants in the audience answer with their funniest White Card. Play for prizes, play for keeps! Watch our guests struggle for the title of “LI-CON’s most horrible person!”

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe!
I’m incredibly proud to announce that the four-time Podcast Award-winning Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe will be attending LI-CON! The “Rogues” will record a show at our event, and they’ll also participate in panels and/or give talks.
The SGU has won 4 Podcast Awards and is consistently ranked as one of the top ten science podcasts. The Rogues have exactly the wide selection of skills and knowledge you’d expect from a “rogues gallery,” from neuroscience to martial arts to antique cannon replica manufacturing.
I look forward to seeing them in person again, and I know you’ll all enjoy seeing and meeting them.
