I would like to go as well, and I could bring a controller with me. But we 
wouldn't have a demo application nor a GL-capable laptop, so that speaks 
for postponing to next year.

I wonder if Fenfire would be the first application program to get on the 
screen :-) Clearly the demo wouldn't be a traditional one, and I didn't 
read the wild demo guidelines as stopping one from using normal PC 
hardware. 

Don't you think simply making a demo dataset and autobrowsing around a 
predefined track would look interesting enough? The dataset could explain 
the concepts and effects as usually. 

If we start with the new OpenGL effects of Fenfire, it could take the 
audience a while to figure out what we're up to ;-) Perhaps using a PP 
canvas for a scroller would be something new, with the generated 
background, the tearing effect, buoys, and fillets. 

Some part of the audience could be interested in the P2P features as well.

Ok, this could be Plan B :-) But I'd propose Matti Katila instead.
