My weekly gaming group's about to be between Pathfinder campaigns and one of our players is going to be out of town for a session before we start up the next one. The rest of us will still get together and I was thinking of tricking them into giving Fiasco a try. Any advice for me/us in our first try, in the event we actually do?

Awesome. Thanks, Sir-G!
Fortunately, having turned my buddies into Happy Jacks listeners, they've become a lot more open to "alternative" styles of gaming. ("Alternative" meaning not D&D - the only system they have played their whole lives up until around a year ago when we exposed ourselves to Savage Worlds.)
Nonetheless, introducing this system was met with a sort of, "A GM-less game? Oh, I don't know ... sounds weird." But I know they'll give it a try and I'm fairly certain they won't blindly cling to their suspicions and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I imagine we'll hit a stride at some point in the session and they'll catch themselves having a great time.
Here's hopin' ... thanks again!

No problem. I love Fiasco as a filler rpg. I still love my standard GM'd rpgs for sure, but if you got 2 hours to kill or like you said an off night where you aren't running the normal game... its awesome. And if you have a player who doesn't really feel comfortable you can set the scene FOR them and let them end it.

My group has discussed running this for a few months just doing different playsets just so the two of us who did GM get a break.
And even if getting a GM break didn't matter, we all love the hell out of Fiasco anyway. The game is just so much fun.
