ABOUT

It was a classic story as old as time: college kids grow up online, decide that it'd be a great idea to throw a internet culture conference, and unleash sheer ridiculousness upon the world.

Back in April 2008, we put on ROFLCon 2008 -- the first internet culture conference devoted to discussing what makes memes work, why they work, and where its all going (and then throwing a big-ass rocking party with the internet celebs themselves). It was a kickass time.

We figured we'd keep doing this as long as it remains awesome (and it still is), so we're already hard at work scheming to put together internet culture events into next year. This will be the place for all the breaking news on how they're coming along.

Needless to say, these might be the most important gatherings since the fall of the tower of Babel.

Bad. Ass.
