      <title>Werewolves of Ruby</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/files/93px-Werwolf.png" class="tease-image"/&gt;
One of the things I learned at the Ruby Hoedown, is that a sizeable number of the Ruby community who
attend such conferences are into a psychological game called &lt;a href="http://www.eblong.com/zarf/werewolf.html"&gt;Werewolf&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;p&gt;At the hoedown various presenters, among them Marcel Molina, Jr. and Chad Fowler, repeatedly asked
for a venue in which to play the game.  After the contest, a group of experienced and newbie werewolves (count me amongst the latter), went to the Velvet Cloak Inn in Raleigh and spent Saturday evening
trying to either hide our own lycanthropy or flush out the lycanthropes, among us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those planning to attend a Ruby conference for the first time, be warned, there are werewolves among us, and playing with them can be a fun experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
