Or something else that really shows off the ability to run anywhere. I've seen westerns pushed as a place where gurps really shines. Really, anywhere other than the ninety and nine will fill that requirement. Don't go too out there though: you want the game to be accessible.
It takes time to fully appreciate the character building aspect, I'll give you that. Sadly, you don't have time to display that at a convention. I suspect that you can pick up people on mere simulationist/realism grounds though. As well as flexibility.

I generally run investigation type games. I'd kind of like to go gonzo, the other fallback (not GURPS) option for me to run would be Nights Black Agents The Dracula Dossier. I'd hate for no one to join the game if they don't understand it(But I'll bring along someone who knows GURPS or not do the game at all)
